Fear of extremism has led to Austria having drafted amendments to a 102-year-old law on Islam. Muslim organizations are to be banned from being financed from abroad, while the Koran is to get a unified German-language translation.

The amendments have already been criticized for singling out Islam, which has so far existed in Austria on equal terms with other religions like Catholicism, Lutheranism, Judaism and Buddhism.    Continue reading “‘Extremism prevention’: Austria to amend century-old law on Islam”

HONG KONG (AP) — Pushing, grabbing and cursing, hundreds of men sought on Friday to break up barricades set up by activists in Hong Kong streets they have been occupying over the past week in protests demanding greater democracy.

The scuffles in Kowloon’s crowded Mong Kok district, one of several areas where protesters have camped, were the most chaotic since police used tear gas and pepper spray last weekend to try to disperse protesters pushing for greater electoral reforms for the territory.   Continue reading “Men try to force Hong Kong protesters off streets”

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — A suburban Denver school board refused to back off plans to review U.S. history courses for what some see as anti-American content, despite waves of protest from students and parents who accused the new conservative majority of trying to indoctrinate children politically.

A turbulent school board meeting drew hundreds Thursday evening, with crowds overflowing into the parking lot, where they watched the meeting with popcorn and cries of “Resign!” and “Recall! Recall!” As the conservative majority voted to go forward with plans to review classes, the two women on the board who opposed them held their heads in their hands.   Continue reading “School board won’t back off history class review”

Officials in China this week examined the anuses of 10,000 pigeons that were set to be released today in celebration of National Day, amid government fears of a possible terrorist attack. According to reports from state-run media outlets, the birds had their feathers, legs, and anuses searched for “suspicious objects” yesterday, before being packed onto a truck and sent to Tiananmen Square in Beijing for today’s ceremony. Many reports on the probe disappeared from China’s tightly-controlled media after being published, though some articles and tweets remain online. The entire process was reportedly videotaped.   Continue reading “Nervous Chinese Officials Search Pigeon Anuses for Bombs”

UPDATE (9/29, 10 p.m.): The Albuquerque Police Department maintains that instead of saying “For this f***ing lunatic? I’m going to shoot him in the penis with a shotgun here in a second,” Officer Keith Sandy said, “For this f***ing lunatic? I’m going to shoot him with a Taser shotgun in a second.”

Repeated requests by KOB to talk to Mayor Richard Berry were denied Monday evening, but the Mayor’s Office sent a security guard instead.

The U.S. jobless rate declined to a six-year low of 5.9 percent in September and employers in the U.S. added more workers than projected, signs of more vigor in the labor market that will help sustain faster economic growth.

The 248,000 gain in payrolls followed a 180,000 August increase that was bigger than previously estimated, the Labor Department reported in Washington. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey called for a 215,000 advance. The unemployment rate fell to the lowest level since July 2008 from 6.1 percent.   Continue reading “Jobless Rate in U.S. Falls to 5.9%, Lowest Since July 2008”

So even as it slips from the headlines, we will be exploring new elements of the story regularly as the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev approaches.    Continue reading “Boston Update: FBI War On Marathon Bombing Witnesses Continues”

On Thursday evening, President Barack Obama promised Hispanic leaders executive amnesty and vowed that he will not give up his fight for permanent amnesty for illegal immigrants. However, he also conceded that more work needed to be done to win public support because the American people do not support such legislation.

Speaking at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Dinner, Obama said he would enact his executive amnesty between the November elections and the end of this year and reiterated that it “was not a question of if but when.”   Continue reading “Obama Urges Latinos to Help Reverse Public Opposition to Amnesty”
