The UK Telegraph is reporting that potential terrorists, and even common criminals, have a new threat to worry about when trying to evade capture and it’s as plain as the nose on their faces. That’s right, new technology recently unveiled by British scientists places great emphasis on “nose analysis” as a credible means of identification for criminals. Read More Read More

Tagged: america native americans columbus the modern religion
Before the West declared themselves the great scientists of the earth, before their own Renaissance, Muslims already were making discoveries in science that took the West hundreds of years to even begin to imagine. What a shame that people in Europe were being persecuted by the Church for their suppositions that the earth was round; they should have come to the Islamic world--- an Afghan Muslim had proved that in 793 C.E.!

However, the studying of the universe brought forth more questions, and more curiosity. The Muslims in West Africa were so intrigued by what was on the other side of the Great Sea, that they began their expeditions into the great unknown. Early reports of these travels are sketchy, but we can be sure that they crossed the Atlantic by 889 C.E.

That was 603 years before Columbus. And that is not counting the actual physical evidence in the United States today that dates back even further; however, we do know, as De Lacy O'Leary pointed out, that Muslims definitely had the scientific knowledge and skill to make journeys across the Atlantic ocean.

We were in the Americas, hundreds of years before Columbus, and of that we can be sure.

Tagged: olympic sham canadian myth islamic insights
The Olympics have robbed sports of their true, beautiful nature and turned it into a corporate scheme which is focused on commercialization and advertisement – their key to attempt to pay off the 17 days of madness and profit corporations at the expense of public funds. According to the most recent reports, the Olympics of 2010 are projected to go into more than one billion dollars in debt. Despite the fact that Vancouver is home to the poorest postal code in Canada (the Downtown East Side), the city has taken part in the largest entertainment event in the world, and honestly, it's been more advertisement than it has been sports. This isn't the only case of incredible Olympic debt; the idea that it somehow improves the economy and lifts cities out of deadlock is a myth. Read More
