HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Tony Stewart won the biggest game of winner-take-all in the history of NASCAR racing.

Rebounding from a succession of setbacks, Stewart took the checkered flag in Sunday's rain-interrupted Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway to win the Sprint Cup championship in a tiebreaker over race runner-up Carl Edwards.

Get your Tony Stewart gear!

With four new tires to Edwards' two -- thanks to a strategic gamble that paid off when rain hit the 1.5-mile speedway for the second time on Lap 213 of 267 -- Stewart gradually pulled away after a restart on Lap 231 and claimed his third Cup title, book-ending the five consecutive championships won by Jimmie Johnson from 2006 to '10.

Thank God For The Jews!

A short time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people.

In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:

"Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew.
If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.

"A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube.

Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.

If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege.

Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate.

Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew.

Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the "Schick" reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.

"Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram.

CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS/CANADIANS?
 
This is certainly 'food-for-thought'.
 

This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish. And send it on to everyone. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities.


Can a good Muslim be a good American or Canadian?

This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
The following is his reply:

Theologically - no. . .. . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia ....


Religiously - no.. . .. Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam ... (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)

Gadhafi Ordered Lockerbie Bombing: Ex-Minister!!

Investigators look at what remains of the flight deck of Pan Am 103 on a field in Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. A total of 270 people died when a bomb exploded on the airplane. (Associated Press) Investigators look at what remains of the flight deck of Pan Am 103 on a field in Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. A total of 270 people died when a bomb exploded on the airplane. (Associated Press)

Libya's ex-justice minister claims Moammar Gadhafi personally ordered the airplane bombing that killed 270 people over Scotland in 1988, Swedish tabloid Expressen is reporting.

Expressen on Wednesday quoted Mustafa Abdel-Jalil as telling their correspondent in Libya: "I have proof that Gadhafi gave the order about Lockerbie." He didn't describe the proof.

Abdel-Jalil stepped down as justice minister to protest the violence against anti-government demonstrations.

He told Expressen Gadhafi gave the order to Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The plane exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground.

"To hide it, he [Gadhafi] did everything in his power to get al-Megrahi back from Scotland," Abdel-Jalil was quoted as saying.

A powerful cyclone closing in on Australia's northeast threatens to bring torrential rain and huge storm surges to regions already saturated by flooding.

Queensland Premier Anna Bligh is warning residents that Cyclone Yasi could be the biggest the state has ever faced.

The cyclone strengthened to a Category 3 storm on Monday with winds up to 185 km/h, and is expected to strike the Queensland coast on Wednesday or Thursday as a Category 4 storm with gusts up to 260 km/h.

Extremely heavy rain could fall in areas still reeling from previous flooding, warned Bligh.

"We can expect very significant rainfall, in some cases up to a metre, into catchments that are already saturated.

"We are currently doing modelling into what that might mean, particularly into areas such as the central and western areas of Queensland.… which we have already seen significant flooding in."

How Will Hamas Blame Israel For This One???

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Five people were charged with planning to fire a rocket at the stadium
  • They were all members of Hamas
  • The plot was formed after Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip in 2008
RELATED TOPICS

Jerusalem (CNN) -- Five members of Hamas were charged Sunday with planning to fire a rocket into a Jerusalem stadium during a soccer game, Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said.

The five were arrested in November, Rosenfeld said.

According to a statement from Israel's security service, the Shin Bet, the two main suspects were identified as Mussa Hamada of East Jerusalem, and Bassem Omri, an Israeli citizen living in Beit Tzafafa. Both are members of Hamas and the "Muslim Brothers" movement in Jerusalem, the Shin Bet said.

The pair are suspected of planning terrorist attacks following Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in 2008, the statement said.

One of the possibilities they considered was possibly firing a missile into the soccer stadium in Jerusalem during a game.

Mubarak appeared on national television Saturday to condemn the attack, which killed at least 21 people and wounded 79 others. He blamed the explosion on "foreign hands" seeking to undermine Egypt's security, stability and unity.

He called on both Christians and Muslims to "close ranks and confront the forces of terrorism," the state news agency MENA said.

An 18-year-old refugee claimant from Mexico was deported from Toronto on Saturday, a lobby group for migrants said.

"At 8:30 a.m. this morning, Daniel Garcia unwillingly boarded a plane to Mexico City. The new year begins with a hole in the Parkdale community and in our hearts," the group No One Is Illegal said on its website.

A last-ditch appeal by Garcia was turned down by a Federal Court judge on Friday.

Garcia's supporters had also asked Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to issue him a temporary resident's permit, but the minister said in a statement Friday morning that he couldn't discuss the specifics of the case

Garcia and his sister Brenda, 30, who arrived in Toronto three years ago, said they feared for their lives in Mexico. Brenda said she was threatened in Mexico for being a lesbian and that her partner was shot to death for being gay.

The judge did not believe Brenda's claims of persecution, and she was deported to Mexico City on Monday.

The imam behind the proposed Islamic center and mosque near ground zero is largely avoiding New York City because of security concerns and is receiving protection from the New York Police Department, according to those close to the imam.

Video: Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf explains why his organization has chosen to build an Islamic Center so close to ground zero.

"There's just a lot of crazies and that's why he has police protection from the NYPD," the Rev. James Parks Morton said Monday of his friend Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf.

"I know that he's being guarded, that he's not been staying in the usual places, that he's not working from his office and that he's concerned for his safety," said another friend of the imam's, Rabbi J. Rolando Matalon, in an interview Sunday night.

New York (CNN) -- The Justice Department says it may sue BP for damages from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, according to a filing made Monday night with the U.S. District Court in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"At this juncture, the United States expects that it may file a civil complaint related to the Deepwater Horizon disaster," the court document says.

BP told CNN it has no comment.

Justice Department attorneys told the court they may seek claims under the Oil Pollution Act, which was enacted in 1990 after the Exxon-Valdez oil spill, and the Clean Water Act, which gives the government the right to seek potentially huge penalties.

The latest round of talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders has ended for the day without any reported progress on the divisive issue of Israeli settlements.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton convened the new round of negotiations Tuesday in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, saying the "time is ripe" for a Mideast peace deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas held an extra, unscheduled session with Clinton, but there was no word on signs of a breakthrough.

The French Senate voted overwhelmingly Tuesday for a bill banning the burka-style Islamic veil everywhere from post offices to streets, a move that affects only a tiny minority of the country's Muslim women but has significant symbolic repercussions.

The Senate voted 246 to 1 in favour of the bill, which has already passed in the lower chamber, the National Assembly.

Dissenters have 10 days to challenge the measure in the constitutional Council watchdog, but that is considered unlikely.

Muslims believe the legislation is one more blow to France's second religion, and risks raising the level of Islamophobia in a country where mosques, like synagogues, are sporadic targets of hate. Some women have vowed to wear a full-face veil despite the law.

The chief UN nuclear inspector, Yukiya Amano, warned Monday that he couldn't confirm all of Iran's nuclear activities are peaceful because Tehran is not fully co-operating with his inspectors.

Amano also chided Iran for barring some inspectors and for stonewalling his agency's attempts to probe allegations that Tehran is interested in developing atomic arms.

Amano spoke at the start of a 35-country board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran insists its nuclear activities are meant only to generate energy but is under UN sanctions for refusing to stop uranium enrichment, which can be used both to make fuel and fissile nuclear warhead material.
