Has the SPDC Ever Done Anything to Help the Famine Victims in Zomi
State?

Zogam kialtun'na tawh kisai-in, a gilkial dangtaak mite, Kawl Galkap
Kumpi in, huhna a pia ngei nai peuhmah hiam?

=====

I have not yet read any news report on whether the SPDC has done
anything to help the famine victim of Zomi State.

Zogam kialtun'na tawh kisai-in, a gilkial a dangtaak mite, Kawl Galkap
Kumpi in, huhna a piak lam, thukizaknate-ah sim kha nai lo hi'ng.

Does the SPDC regard the people of Zomi State as jungle animals, not
as human beings?

Kaw Galkap Kumpi in, Zogam-a teeng mite, mihing bangin ngaihsun lo-in,
gamlak ganhing bangin ngaihsun ahi hiam?

In order to achieve an Independent Burma, the Zomis signed the
Panglong Agreement.

Charcoal helps Nepal forests

Could simple charcoal briquettes save Nepal's forests?

Bio-briquette keep nepal clean

A U.N. program has introduced 'bio briquettes' as an environmentally-
friendly fuel used for cooking in Nepal.

Hope following Vedio works. Could not find more readable account.

  Were Islam's Wars in Self Defense ?

Were Muhammad's Wars in Self Defense?
By Ali Sina

Dear Ali

I was debating with one of my religious relatives and when I showed
her this verse (9:5) she accused us (you and I) of misinterpretation.
According to her we are reading this verse in the wrong context. Her
interpretation of this verse is that Muslims are asked to fight back
in self defense only and we should read verses 9:04 - 9:06 in order to
get the correct meaning. She looks at it from Yusuf Ali's tafsir which
states fight only if the pagans make war against you.

Regards

Gus

Dear Gus,

Sura 9 consists of two main discourses:

Monasteries shell out bribe to get land

IMNA
September 19, 2008

To be able to use land for monasteries monks are having to bribe Mon
State authorities under the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

According to a monk from a monastery in Kyonekaroat village
Thanpyuzayart, His monastery paid about 70,000 Kyat to get a signature
from the chairman of the Mon State Peace and Development Council in
Moulmein (Mawlamyine), the capital.

The monk said despite paying, the chairman has been delaying signing.
The chairman is a retired as a major from the army.

The monk said that they formally applied to for the land for use as
Buddhist land before the senior monk died. When he was alive, he
applied for the land but the issue is still to be resolved.

"We applied last November and were told by the higher ups in the
Religious Affairs Department not to pay bribes at the state level but
given the delay in the arrival of the proposal we gave money to the
vice chairman of the Religious Affairs Department to have the proposal
passed," said the monk.

Burmese army provides "security," intimidates people at large Buddhist
festival

Kaowao: September 20, 2008

Security forces, under the direction of the Burmese army's Southeast
Command, beefed up security at last week's Long Bebin Kaloin or Suan
Kyi Laung festival in Moulmein Township, northern Mon State. The
festival is one of the biggest mass donations to monks from the area,
and was surrounded by a disproportionate number of troops.

The festival, held on September 13th, took place along the road that
joins Bha-Out and Rogo villages. Troops in full uniform stood guard
two-hundred meters back from the roadside, a monk who in charge of the
festival told Kaowao.

Even though the committee of the festival appealed to have the troops
withdrawn, the commander replied that the troops for the security of
military families, and would remain until the festival's end.

The world’s problems weighed on the summit, South African Archbishop

Dear all,

I am scared , whenever there is a summit, next thing is there comes a

The Irrawaddy Hopes to Defeat the Hackers Soon

By SAW YAN NAING
Friday, September 19, 2008

The online news service of The Irrawaddy remained paralyzed by a cyber
attack on Friday, although technicians expressed optimism that it would be
back in operation by Monday.

Three other Burmese exile news operations that also fell victim to the
attack restored their services on Friday, leading to hope that The Irrawaddy
Web site would also soon be again accessible.

The attack knocked out The Irrawaddy service on Tuesday and also struck the
Oslo-based Democratic Voice of Burma and the New Era Journal, based in
Bangkok. All were intermittently put out of action.

The three opposition news services, operated by Burmese exiles, were hit by
a "distributed denial-of-service", or DDoS.

A DDoS attack creates a "traffic jam" at the entry to a Web site as masses
of fake, robot "visitors" try to access it.
