A bit late considering they spent 100s of millions supporting schools all over the globe over the last 20 years – many which became hotbeds for fundamentalist terror teaching. But hope it does some good, even if late.
Royal order decrees King Salman Complex be set up in holy city of Medina to root out ‘fake and extremist texts’
Saudi authorities have taken an “unprecedented” step to tackle Islamic extremism by setting up a council of scholars to vet religious teachings around the world.
A royal order issued this week by King Salman established a global body of elite scholars based in the holy city of Medina to root out and “eliminate fake and extremist texts”.
“The attorney general got himself into deeper water in his answers to Senator Leahy,” said Ryan Goodman, a New York University law professor and co-editor of the Just Security website. “Sessions’ response to Leahy effectively amounts to an admission that he was either not truthful in his written replies during his confirmation hearing when he said emphatically that he did not have certain conversations with the Russians or else he was not truthful in his later testimony when he said he could not recall the content of these conversations.”“Also Sessions now admits he may have discussed candidate Trump’s positions with the Russians during the elections, which directly contradicts what Sessions said in his statement in March,” Goodman added. “Sessions’ testimony appears to be an admission that the Washington Post report got it right, that he had indeed discussed campaign matters with the Russian ambassador.”
Like all bad habits, it follows a pattern. Trump was remarkably silent about the deaths in Niger, even though he and his fellow Republicans couldn’t stop talking about the US lives lost in the ambush in Benghazi in 2012. When he came under fire for not calling the relatives of the fallen soldiers, Trump said he had written letters which had not yet been mailed. The US Postal Service is obviously not what it used to be.When that bumbling excuse fell flat, he claimed Obama failed to call gold star families, including his own chief of staff, John Kelly, whose son died in Afghanistan. This claim has been forcefully rejected by Obama’s aides, while Kelly’s associates can recall no such thing.This kind of behavior might be normal among middle school students whose hormones interfere with their ability to finish their homework on time. Explaining Trump’s actions is altogether more unsettling.You can’t say there were no warning signs of this kind of weirdness. Trump lashed out at the gold star family of Humayun Khan who died in Iraq in 2004, when they attacked his Muslim travel ban. Naturally Trump went after Khan’s mother for no good reason, claiming she was forbidden from talking.Launching a personal attack on an emotionally vulnerable citizen without any foundation in fact: the signature Trump move.Then again, he recently mocked the Spanish accent of the long-suffering US citizens in Puerto Rico, threw paper towels into a San Juan crowd like he was shooting hoops, and threatened to pull out his own government support from the US territory.
Shortly before Johnson’s body arrived at Miami airport on Tuesday, his wife Myeshia Johnson received the condolence call during which Trump reportedly told the grieving widow her husband “knew what he was signing up for, but I guess it hurts anyway”.The comments, vigorously denied by Trump, were made public by Florida congresswoman Frederica Wilson who had been in the car with Johnson’s widow. Wilson’s description of the call was later backed up by the slain soldier’s mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, who also heard the call on speaker phone.“President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband,” Jones-Johnson told the Washington Post.According to Wilson, Trump was unable to to recall the name of the fallen soldier during his conversation with Johnson’s widow.“She was crying the whole time, and when she hung up the phone, she looked at me and said, ‘He didn’t even remember his name.’ That’s the hurting part,” Wilson told MSNBC.“It was horrible. It was insensitive. It was absolutely crazy, unnecessary. I was livid.”
With ruinous appointments and destructive legislation, Trump is doing everything he can to break America—because that’s what his wealthiest donors have demanded of him.
But Mr. Rodriguez says he is disheartened that the final assessment of years of service could be conviction for a hate crime.“I’m sorry about what happened,” he said. “But no one tries to understand what we went through.”
It seems that the court will probably try to hear the case fairly and he will not be convicted of a hate crime but of assault and will be given a suitable sentence – that might enable the Marine Corp to reinstate him while he receives treatment and might even give solace to the refugee family who suffered from the attack.
Signaling a strengthening of the Catholic Church’s official opposition to capital punishment, Pope Francis (pictured) marked the 25th anniversary of the Catholic Church’s promulgation of amendments to its Catechism by declaring the death penalty “contrary to the Gospel” and “an inhumane measure that, regardless of how it is carried out, abases human dignity.” During Vatican ceremonies on October 11 commemorating the 1992 amendments, Pope Francis said that the death penalty is “inadmissible” under any circumstances and that the subject needed “a more adequate and coherent treatment” than it currently receives. The Catechism—the instructive text for Catholics around the world—currently permits “recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor,” but given modern crime prevention and incarceration practices, its says “the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity ‘are very rare, if not practically nonexistent.'” Pope Francis called capital punishment “an attack on the inviolability and the dignity of the person” and said that the approach to the issue by the Holy See has in the past been “more legalistic than Christian.” The pontiff said that Church doctrine is a “dynamic” process that “develops [and] grows” over time, and it is therefore necessary to reaffirm in the Catechism “that no matter how serious the crime that has been committed, the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and the dignity of the person.” In October 2014, Pope Francis referred to the present Catechism in calling for the abolition of the death penalty, saying “It is impossible to imagine that states today cannot make use of another means than capital punishment to defend peoples’ lives from an unjust aggressor.” He repeated that call during an historic address before a joint session of the United States Congress in September 2015, and urged Catholic leaders around the world to take action to halt all executions during the Church’s “Holy Year of Mercy” in 2016. Archbishop Emeritus Joseph Fiorenza—a former president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops—said the pope’s remarks have “put to rest” any doubt as to whether the death penalty is permitted under Catholic doctrine. “This is Pope Francis’ magisterial teaching on this issue and as the faithful we have the responsibility to accept what the pope says,” said Fiorenza. Dianne Rust-Tierney, the executive director of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, said that the pope’s “moral clarity and leadership” are promising to proponents of abolition. “We’ve got to show people that there is a better way, that this is a fundamentally immoral practice,” she said. The pope’s revision “closes the loophole” that the Catechism had left open in the minds of some, according to Karen Clifton, executive director of the Catholic Mobilizing Network. “[H]e makes it very clear,” said Clifton, that Catholics “need to meet people where they are and move them toward mercy and away from vengeance.”
