DC Sniper, John Muhammad Executed

John Allen Muhammad was executed Tuesday, November 10, on the charge of killing 10 people and wounding 3 in the course of a three week period in October 2002. Muhammad and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, would randomly gun down men and women going about their lives in a normal fashion. 53-year-old Dean Meyers was shot while pumping gas into his car. Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, was gunned down while vacuuming her van. Jerry Taylor was killed on a golf course.

Muhammad has always claimed innocence, although he has never shown any sympathy to those whose family members and friends were lost due to these sniper attacks. In a letter written to his first wife shortly before the execution, Muhammad wrote:
"Carol, I miss my family for the past eight years. I don't want to be missed the day that these devils murder my innocent black ass."

Island of Trash is Growing and Possibly Spawning


Not only is there a floating, swirling, mass of toxic garbage twice the size of Texas drifting in the Pacific Ocean, but there it is growing over the years. A research team, published by the New York Times has found that "water samples from February contained twice as much plastic as samples from a decade ago." Mr. Moore, the man who discovered the garbage in 1999 while sailing from Hawaii, came back and told reporters: "This is not the garbage patch I knew in 1999. This is a totally different animal.”
Currently, there are fish and ocean life living in the middle of the pollution and feeding off of plankton that is growing directly on the garbage. The fish that ingest these plankton also ingest small pieces of plastic and toxic chemicals. The second concern is for the predators of these fish and the predators of those predators. All these toxic chemicals will be transferred from one fish to another and possibly to your local grocery store.
Now the real scare is that this garbage patch is only one of FIVE that may be trapped in gyres around the world. Ponder that for a while.

New Jihad Code



The Jihad Code has recently been rewritten in 400 pages that was first published on September 6. 2009. This revolution in the definition of Jihad could challenge al Quaeda to find a legitimate reason for their actions. A direct attack to al Quaeda's policies is stated in the new code is stated as:
"Jihad has ethics and morals because it is for God. That means it is forbidden to kill women, children, elderly people, priests, messengers, traders and the like. Betrayal is prohibited and it is vital to keep promises and treat prisoners of war in a good way. Standing by those ethics is what distinguishes Muslims' jihad from the wars of other nations."
This document has been seen by some of the most respected religious scholars in the Middle East who are backing it up completely. This could lead the way to the slow death of religious wars in the name of God.
