Afghanistan
Modern Education is Not Obligatory: Shaheed Wror
[ToloNews] Mohammad Hashim Shaheed Wror, General Director of the Invitation and Guidance Directorate (an independent body that determines religious policies within the interim government), said that modern education is not obligatory but Islamic education is obligatory for both men and women.

"The education that we say is obligatory at every stage for both men and women is religious education, not other education," he said.

Speaking at a gathering in Kabul, Shaheed Wror also said that the necktie originated from the Christian cross and that it is "ordered in Shariah that you should break it and eliminate it."

"The history of (the necktie) is obvious in Islam. What is a tie? It is the cross. The cross looks like this. It is ordered in Shariah that you should break it and eliminate it," he said. "The cross is a symbol of pagans. The cross is the symbol of Jesus’ martyrdom. They say Jesus was hung like this."

Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia grabbed for Jane's hair to make her point. Jane elbowed her in the face in rebuttal...
speaking at the same gathering, the deputy Minister of Higher Education, Mohammad Tahir Ahmadi, said that learning modern education is also obligatory and that the Afghans need to learn it.

"The education that this Moslem nation needs is obligatory and through it the people can be saved from poverty, misery and other problems, so getting an education that rescues a human from misery is obligatory," he said.

"An educated human is thousands of times better than an individual who is not educated," said Amir Jan Saqib, deputy head of the Academy of Science.

Mohammad Hasham Shaheed Wror also said that doctor's lack Islamic lessons and they perform haram acts and that the treatment of women by the male doctors is haram (prohibited).

As amply demonstrated by our own illustrious institutions like the 'Ivy League' that make credentialing far more important than education.

Europe
Six found guilty of murder for 2016 jihadist bombings in Brussels that killed 32
[IsraelTimes] Attacks on Brussels’ main airport and on the metro system, which also maimed hundreds of people, were claimed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
terror group.

A Brussels court on Tuesday convicted French citizen Salah Abdeslam and Belgian-Moroccan Mohammed Abrini for 2016 jihadist bombings in the Belgian capital that killed 32 people, after the country’s largest-ever criminal trial.

The high-profile pair — already sentenced to life in jail by La Belle France for a 2015 massacre in Gay Paree
...on 13. November a team of twenty, half jacketwallahs, roamed Paris killing 130 and injuring hundreds more in the Bataclan concert hall, various cafés, and the national stadium...
— were among six accused who were found guilty of "murder linked to terrorism" over the biggest peacetime attack in Belgium.

The suicide kabooms on March 22, 2016 at Brussels’ main airport and on the metro system were claimed by the Islamic State group.

Hundreds of travelers and transport staff were maimed, and seven years on, many victims, relatives and rescuers remain traumatized.

The murder convictions leave those found guilty facing a life sentence in Belgium. Sentencing is expected after the summer recess ends in September.

Abdeslam, 33, was the sole surviving perpetrator of the 2015 Gay Paree attack that killed 130 people. Prosecutors told the court they believed the Belgium-based cell also carried out the November 13, 2015 rampage in the French capital.

Abdeslam had fled to Brussels after taking part in the Gay Paree attacks and holed up for four months in an apartment hosting members of the local cell. He was arrested several days before the Brussels attacks took place.

But the jury — which spent over two weeks deliberating — rejected his claim not to have been involved in planning the violence.

Abrini was found guilty of being one of the teams of jacket wallahs who targeted Brussels’ airport and a metro station.

He testified that he decided at the last-minute not to blow himself up at the airport — as did another defendant, Osama Krayem, a Swede of Syrian descent.

Krayem was also found guilty of murder, along with defendants Ali El Haddad Asufi and Bilal El Makhoukhi.

Suspect Osama Atar, who is believed to have been killed in an air strike in Syria, was convicted in absentia of criminal masterminding the attacks.

Two other defendants — Tunisian Sofien Ayari and Rwandan Herve Bayingana Muhirwa — were acquitted of murder but found guilty of participating in a terrorist group.

Brothers Smail and Ibrahim Farisi were acquitted of the charges they faced.

A lawyer for Abrini said the verdict marked an "important moment" after years of legal proceedings and that attention would now focus on the sentencing.

The trial, which started at the end of last year, was held under tight security at the converted former headquarters of the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
military alliance.

On the morning of March 22, 2016, two men blew themselves up at Brussels-Zaventem international airport, and a third an hour later in a metro train near the seat of the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
The bombings — near the headquarters of both NATO and the EU — were part of a wave of attacks claimed by the Islamic State group in Europe.

The court on Tuesday formally boosted the corpse count from the attacks from 32 to 35, after finding a link between the trauma suffered and the deaths of three more people subsequently. One of those included a 23-year-old woman, present at the airport, who decided to end her life through euthanasia due to the mental suffering inflicted.

The Grand Turk
Erdogan holds meeting with PA leader Abbas and Hamas chief Haniyeh
[IsraelTimes] Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
met today with Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", leader Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
at his office in Ankara, the official Anadolu news agency reports.

The meeting was held behind closed doors, it says.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also been due to visit The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
this week, but his visit was postponed after he had surgery last weekend and as Israel is roiled by protests over contentious judicial reform.

After several years of tensions, relations between Turkey and Israel have improved over the past year, with several high-level visits, including that of President Isaac Herzog.

Erdogan yesterday promised to continue supporting the Paleostinian cause and voiced concerns over the flare-up of violence in the West Bank in recent months, after meeting with Abbas.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
High Court to also weigh petition asking it to make Levin convene judicial selection panel
[IsraelTimes] Along with the petition against the reasonableness law, the High Court of Justice in September will hear deliberate the opposition Yesh Atid party’s petition to have the court make Justice Minister Yariv Levin convene the Judicial Selection Committee.

Levin, one of the key figures behind the government’s judicial overhaul, has been refusing to assemble the panel — which chooses judges for Israel’s courts — while he pushes to recompose the committee in a way that will give the government greater control.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran says it’s given ‘detailed answers’ on 2 sites where manmade uranium particles found
[IsraelTimes] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
says it gave new details to the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
about two sites near Tehran that inspectors say bore traces of manmade uranium, part of a wider probe as tensions remain high over the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s advancing program.

The comments by Mohammad Eslami, the head of Iran’s civilian nuclear program, come as Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers remains in tatters and as Tehran enriches uranium closer than ever to weapons-grade levels. Resolving questions from the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency could see Iran avoid further censure as an October deadline approaches that would lift international restrictions on its ballistic missile program as well.

Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Eslami says Iran has sent "detailed answers" to the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency.

"If those answers are not accepted and there are any ambiguities or doubts, as we have always said, we will clarify and revise the documents," Eslami says in comments carried by state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
. "We are now in that phase now, and we have given the IAEA more evidence and documents and will give more so that it can move past this issue."

The Vienna-based IAEA doesn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
Eslami’s comments mark a change in tone as Iran has limited inspections, held surveillance footage and taken years to respond to the IAEA after then-president Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
unilaterally withdrew the United States from the nuclear deal in 2018.

Eslami doesn’t name the sites, though the IAEA has identified them as Turquzabad and Varamin just outside of Tehran. At Varamin, the IAEA in a March report said that inspectors believe Iran used the site from 1999 until 2003 as a pilot project to process uranium ore and convert it into a gas form, which then can be enriched through spinning in a centrifuge. The IAEA said buildings at the site had been demolished in 2004.

Turquzabad is where the IAEA believes Iran took some of the material at Varamin amid the demolition, though it said that alone cannot "explain the presence of the multiple types of isotopically altered particles" found there.

In 2018, the site became known publicly after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed it at the United Nations and called it a clandestine nuclear warehouse hidden at a rug-cleaning plant. Iran denied that, though IAEA inspectors later found the manmade uranium particles there.
