Our prisons are filled with individuals from single parent homes. The lack of a father to provide discipline is especially damaging to male children. The price of immorality is high. It is even higher when government subsidizes it.

They are guilty, case closed. Sadly, not enough to convince the average dolt to convict. Most people are unable to use statistical analysis to come to the obvious conclusion: the McCanns killed their daughter. Looks like the rich tourists are getting preferential treatment again: Kate and Gerry McCann are spared police questioning 'until after Christmas' | the Daily Mail Yep, give em a couple more weeks to get their story straight. The phuckin' nerve of the child killers: Madeleine McCann's family cancel Christmas - Telegraph Tell 'em I'm celebrating Christmas whether they like it or not.

FALSE, TRY REMOVING YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR ASS. LAWYERS TEST THEIR OWN CLIENTS ALL THE TIME. THE ACT OF LYING PRODUCES PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS. In fact, testers are usually asked to lie deliberately on certain questions in order to establish a baseline. Any innocent parent would take the lie detector test. An innocent parent would not be using money given to find their daughter for personal expenses. They are guilty as hell. The other two children should be immediately removed from the custody of those two inhuman demons.

Yep, unless you actually give a damn about your daughter and think finding her is more important than possibly tainting a jury pool. If you know you killed your daughter not much reason to take the test. This is what I would do under the same situation. I would tell my lawyer to arrange a test with a private firm and I would take it. Only if I failed would I refuse an ifficial test. They are guilty as hell.

I am betting her lawyers already gave her a test and she failed.

If it meant an 80-90% (using your numbers) of clearing me in the eyes of the police so they would have more resources to find my child I would take that fallible test in a heartbeat. She's guilty.

Maybe you should google Durst murder. They don't pay them lawyers high fees for nothing. The McCanns will most likely get away with murdering their daughter. The McCanns' lawyer ain't working pro bono. They get a bunch of suckers paying for the best lawyer money can buy. McCanns are using the Madeline fund to pay off their and their parents' mortgages. They gettin' other rich people to pay the lawyers. Killing their daughter has been profitable for them. Who says crime don't pay? Kate refused to take a lie detector test. Guilty as hell.

Of course, it is possible. However, it must be very rare because the anti-death penalty folks have been looking for the innocent executed poster boy for a damn long time and they got resources. It does not apply to the McCanns anyways. They are among the socioeconomic group that tends to get away with murder.

How many of them wrongly convicted deathrow inmates had high priced attorneys? The fact is the McCanns are in the group that is most likely to get away with homicide. The initial investigation did not concentrate on them and left them the chance to dispose of the body despite the fact that statistics show the parent is the most likely perpetrator in a child abduction case. There is a lot of blood that seems to be following the McCanns around. It must just be an unlucky coincidence. Yes, the McCanns have lawyered up. Unless one of their partners in crime (another member of the Infamous Nine) confesses they will walk. Just like Durst, Patsy and OJ preferential treatment, plus a high priced attorney, will set them free. On the other topic not one single innocent executed post-Furman. Not one. Also remember the standard for a guilty verdict is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Few of those 126 were proven innocent.

You can't name one innocent man. What you refer to as maybes is circumstantial evidence that starts adding up. At some point a collection of evidence where not one single piece overcomes reasonable doubt establishes guilt. You have been a criminal your whole adult life and sympathize with scumbags. You are the ideal juror for a defense attorney. Ye probably thinks OJ is innocent. The reason OJ walked free is our juries and the population at large tend to oversympathize with monied defendents i.e. the McCanns

Not one person executed. Our system works. The McCann's Are Guilty! Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ] The other seven of the Tapas Nine should be interrogated until one cracks.

Not one person executed. Our system works.

There has never been a proven case, post-Furman, of an innocent executed. Sadly, a murderer, e.g. Mrs. McCann, is much more likely to go free. Particularly when they can afford high-priced attorneys.

Professor Barclay pointed out the major mistake the police made and that was not harshly interrogating the perpetrators of the crime, the McCanns. It is quite clear the probability of an intruder was very low, That leaves the McCann's. Like the Boulder, Colorado police force in another celebrated case the mistake was to let wealthy parents off easy. Guilty as hell.

ThaT ALONG WITH THE EXPERT OPINION ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN INTRUDER THROUGH THE WINDOW SAYS QUITE A BIT. tHESE ARE TWO PROFESSIONALS WHO WHILE AFRAID OF FIRE THEMSELVES HAVE NO PROBLEMS LEAVING THEIR CHILDREN. iT MAKES NO RATIONAL SENSE. tHEY ARE GUILTY AS HELL. in' caps lock.

The McCann's are so paranoid of fire that they habitually leave their backdoor unlocked. What did they think Maddy and her siblings would have done if there had been a fire?

The mother confessed to beating her daughter and bloodying her nose as the excuse for the blood in the fridge.. Plus the mother was screwing her own brother. I don't recall ever bloodying my son's nose. Reddened his rear end a couple times. . Yep, normal people wait two days to report a young child missing and wash their home down with petrol in the meantime.

Leonor killed and fed her own child to pigs. She deserved a lot worse.

You are much more likely to be killed by a black, hispanic or white man than a Muslim. Our Muslims are pretty much integrated. They fled the Mideast for a reason. This does not mean Muslim immigration should not be strictly controlled. It means a rational evaluation of the dangers of certain elements of the Muslim community is needed.

From my conversations with a Muslim friend of mine (he has only tried to behead me once) about 30% of Muslims in the West lean toward radicalism. That is a pretty significant minority. Western Europe is seeing great problems from Muslim migration. We have had the fortune of being able to choose our Islamic immigrants. Most victims of Muslim atrocities are other Muslims. We need sensible policies that aid moderate Muslims to defeat the radical Muslims in the war of ideas. The Amish do not wish to blend in. We have few problems with them.

Dems: Amen to Ramadan, but forget about Christmas 9 House members praise Islamic faith, won't recognize Christian observance By Bob Unruh -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ? 2007 WorldNetDaily.com U.S. Rep Diana DeGette, D-Colo. Only weeks after voting for a resolution that "recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world," nine Democrats in the U.S. House refused to vote for a Christmas resolution that condemns the worldwide persecution of Christians. U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., was on the list of those who endorsed the statement recognizing Islam but refused to support the Christmas resolution that noted the holiday "is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and around the world." The Christmas resolution, like the Ramadan resolution, decried the violence that targets religion around the world. A spokesman for DeGette told WND her vote was because the Ramadan resolution, which she endorsed, was about "rejecting religious extremism and promoting of religious tolerance." The spokesman, Chris Aaron, however, said DeGette is a "strong supporter of separation of church and state and her view was that Congress should not favor one religion over another. "She felt this resolution (recognizing Christmas and condemning persecution of Christians) promoted Christianity over other religions," he told WND. Other Democrats who supported the acknowledgment of Islam's Ramadan but refused a similar recognition for Christianity's Christmas included Gary Ackerman and Yvette Clarke of N.Y., Alcee Hastings, Fla., Barbara Lee, Fortney Stark and Lynn Woolsey, Calif., Jim McDermott, Wash., and Robert Scott, Va. Both resolutions, carrying similar wording, ultimately were approved. But the American Family Association of Pennsylvania also raised the issue of representatives supporting Ramadan, but refusing to offer the same support for Christmas. "We are very pleased that 17 of our 19 congressmen voted to recognize the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith. Congressman John Murtha was one of 40 who did not vote and unfortunately Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz decided to simply vote 'present' rather than take a stand on such a controversial issue as Christmas," said Diane Gramley, president. She noted on Oct. 2, Schwartz "did not hesitate" to vote for a resolution to support the religion "of the 19 hijackers of 9/11 who brought down the World Trade Center, flew their airliner/missile into the Pentagon, and caused the death of the crew and passengers of Flight 93 as it crashed into a field outside Shanksville, Pa." "I believe there are more Christians in her district than Muslims and they deserve an explanation for her vote last night," Gramley said. According to Liberty Counsel, the Christmas resolution was approved with nine "no" votes. Ten others voted "present" and 40 refused to vote at all. "Amazingly, all but two of the representatives who answered "present" or voted against the Christmas resolution voted in favor of a resolution recognizing Ramadan, even though much of the language was similar," the group said. The Ramadan resolution began: Whereas Ramadan is the holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal for Muslims worldwide, and is the 9th month of the Muslim calendar year; and Whereas the observance of the Islamic holy month of Ramandan commenced at dusk on September 13, 2007, and continues for one lunar month: …" The Christmas resolution started: Whereas Christmas, a holiday of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and the world... Whereas on December 25 of each calendar year, American Christians observe Christmas, the holiday celebrating the birth of their savior, Jesus Christ...Whereas many Christians and non-Christians throughout the United States and the rest of the world, celebrate Christmas as a time to serve others:" The Ramadan resolution then acknowledged "the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world," expressed "friendship and support for Muslims," noted "the onset of Ramadan," and rejected "hatred, bigotry, and violence directed against Muslims." It also "commends Muslims … who have privately and publicly rejected interpretations and movements of Islam that justify and encourage hatred." The Christmas resolution continued to acknowledge "the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world," expressed "continued support for Christians," noted the historical importance of Christmas, the role "played by Christians and Christianity in the founding of the United States," and rejected "bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide." "Notice that the Christmas resolution uses similar language. It is astonishing that those who supported the Ramadan Resolution would vote against the Christmas Resolution," Liberty Counsel said. The group suggested voters check the lists for votes by their representatives. "If they voted against Christmas and in favor of Ramadan, respectfully point out their hypocrisy," the group said. Concerned Women for America said the true message of Christmas is under assault in the U.S. Shari Rendall, director of the group's legislation and public policy divisions, noted Congress earlier approved not only the endorsement of Ramadan but also another resolution concern the Hindu religion. "It astounds me that any member of Congress would oppose legislation that recognizes the important of Christmas in our country, particularly in light of the fact that earlier this year Congress passed two separate resolutions honoring the Hindu and Islamic religions…"

Sorry, I'm Goombhanian.

What we have is a war between moderate and fanatical Islam. Our troops in the ME and our unflinching support of Israel gives propaganda material to the fanatics.

There are questions the answers to I would like to know. 1) were the McCann's in the habit of leaving their kids alone. 2) was there any evidence of forced entry? If the answer to either question is no the McCann's most likely did it. Answering my second question Madeleine's parents 'left patio doors unlocked' Last updated at 16:53pm on 13th May 2007 Of course, you really need to question leaving children alone in a place that is susceptible to fire to the degree people commonly leave doors unlocked. If the McCann's are not guilty of murder they need to be removed from the human gene pool for being grossly stupid.

Freedom and Islam By T. O. Shanavas, M. D., Vice President, Islamic Research Foundation International, Inc. Recently, I read an article, ?Women in Islam? describing the liberation of women by Islam and Prophet (s). In reality women cannot travel alone to Hujj or visit Mecca (the safest place for any one), and women cannot drive a car in Saudi Arabia. It is not a secret that Muslims in general and Muslim women in particular in the world are the least free and least educated. So, I wonder: Oh Islam! You are a great theory but no practical value, unless you live in the West. After all, only one thing matters in Islam. Faith is a matter of exclusively personal and private experience. We embrace faith individually just as we confront our death individually. An Iranian Muslim philosopher, Souroush, correctly said it that we have communal actions and but not communal faiths. We can express faith in public but the core of the faith is mysteriously private. The preeminence of Islamic faith is for the hereafter where people are judged individually: "Everyone of them will come before Him all alone on the Day of Resurrection. Surely A-Rahman will show love for those who believe and do right." [19:95-96]. There is no Original Sin that transcends over the goodness of whole mankind in Islam. Therefore, the only things that matter on the Day of Judgment are actions at the individual level. Community actions are useless. Similarly, the Qur?an states: ?Say (Muhammad it is) truth from the Lord of you all. Whosoever will, let him believe and whosoever will, let him disbelieve" (Koran 18: 29) ?And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: thou cannot compel them to believe.? (Koran: 21-22). ?O Prophet.!?Thy duty is not more than to deliver the message; and the reckoning is Ours.? (Koran 13:40). These verses teach that a roof made out safety and liberty is an absolute necessity to develop faith in the hearts. These verses demand Muslims to guarantee freedom and safety for all. Therefore, if governments, Imams, enforced Fatwas, demand any public or outward obedience and submission, such outward appearance is not faith. When law, power, force, and tyranny enforce religion, they are taking control of the body not the soul. Unfortunately, many Muslims want to make reign over body the most important tenet of Islam even though the Qur?an rejects their craving for power over body: ?It is not your meat or blood that reach God: It is fealty of your heart that reaches Him? (22:37). In Muslim-majority nations, people are forced to confess Islamic faith and behave in one voice in religion; but they forget that the rulers cannot fill the heart with genuine faith. I believe that faith chosen freely at the individual level without coercion and without forced conformity is the genuine faith. In a world where the hearts with freely chosen faith, not by forced compliance, pervade, the true religious spirit come alive to establish an ideal society by free choice of the people. This is proven by Muslim history in the first 6 centuries. Muslims helped Jews to create their Golden Age and liberate Christians from tyranny of Roman church. Muslims philosophy and science promoted the Enlightenment and Renaissance of the Europe. We also created the experimental science. In those days, we educated anyone who came our way without force-feeding our faith. Now we have governments that have taken control of our body claiming to send our ?meat and blood? to God while Muslims have to beg from non-Muslim societies for their daily bread to keep their body alive. Prophet Mohammed struggled to establish a free society. Similarly, Muslims must struggle hard peacefully to establish a free society where no totalitarian government, no Imams, no predominant group control us or decide for us. Everyone is equal. If any one wants to be a believer, let him/her be. If anyone wants to be an apostate let him/her be safe to live the life of an apostate. So-called Islamic government is myth created by power-hungry people to control Muslim mind and body. There was no such thing as Islamic government. Government is only a means to execute the will of people. The individual members of the government can have Islamic values and faith. Prophet Mohammed ruled as a democratically elected ruler following the invitation by the people of Medina. He never forced a decision upon his community even when he believed that majority decision on a particular secular matter was a mistake as happened in the case of the disaster of Uhud war. A minority including him wanted to fortify the Medina and fight the Meccan forces. But he agreed to go along with the wishes of the majority to fight the Koreish in the open instead of from fortified Medina even though the strategy of the majority was wrong in his opinion. So, Islam demands Democracy, not tyranny by ullamahs, kings, self-appointed presidents, and military generals. The concept of so-called Islamic government is an oxymoron unless it means a government with Islamic values that the community has accepted, not by the opinion or fatawa of an Imam but by totally free discussion in a free press, without coercion and intimidation. Some of the so-called Islamic values that exist in contemporary Muslim society are the values of some Imams that had never grinded through and experienced a free press. The self-righteous terrorists, and oppressive governments among Muslims want to control the ?meat and blood? with the aid of the values of Imams that were not debated in the free society with a free press. However, they neglect the soul that sustains the body. Let democracy rule our bodies with a free press and let the free choice build our faith. Let us get rid of from our thoughts the enforced forms of outward Islam that demand the conformity and control from our ?meat and blood? The verse 33:5 states: ?There is no sin upon you for what mistakes you commit unintentionally, but there is sin what your hearts have intended.? Unintentional mistakes happen much less if mind is exposed to free press, public opinion, and dialogue with reason as guiding principle. A hadith states "God has not created any thing better than reason." So, any Muslims who oppose a free press and reasoning are committing a sin knowingly because he/she refuses to listen to the merit or demerit of opposing points of view. The Koreish of Mecca rejected Prophet Mohammed because they refused to listen to reasoning. Muslims must reject the Jahilliyah paradigm that pervades in our community and in our mind. Let Imams and scholars issue fatwas freely without power to enforce over the community. Reject any conformity by force. Reject totalitarianism and kingdoms that want to rule our body. Let the heart and mind fly free to see what is out there. Democracy draws inspiration from the Qur?anic axiom that human being are free. The American constitution reflects it as it states: ?Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press.? This is candidly stated in verse: ?We sent down the Torah which contains guidance and light?Later, in the train of prophets We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah which has been send down before him, and gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light. ?Unto to you [O Muhammad] this writ (Koran) and a way and a pattern of life, confirming what were revealed before?Unto everyone of you have We appointed a different law and way of life. And if God had so willed He could surely have you all made one single community professing one faith. But He wished to try you and test you. So try to excel in good deeds? (Koran: 5:44-48). The existence of different kinds of faith and religion competing each other doing good work is the will of God. So, freedom without the enforcement of conformity in religious matters is Islamic. The so-called Islamic governments of the self-righteous violate Qur?anic principles and tyrannize people of all faith including Muslims. Islam will always remain a dream and an excellent theory with no practical value until faith rules the hearts and liberal democracy with a free press rules the bodies. Finally, I thank God for creating America where I do not fear about government taking control of my body and at same time my heart can fly freely to choose my faith.
