The Islamist group al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for the killing of a senior Somali military official and his bodyguard in south Mogadishu.

Colonel Farah Abdulle Ga'al and his bodyguard died when a landmine concealed under the colonel's chair exploded after he arrived at work.

Earlier on Sunday, a woman and her five children were killed when a mortar round exploded in north Mogadishu.

Another two people were reported to have been killed in the southern part of the city.

Somalia has been politically fragmented since 1991 and the country's transitional government, faced with an insurgency, is dependent on international aid and Ethiopian military support.

Wherever you are in the world, wherever you find Islam, you will find strife. You will also find Western (Christian) governments paying the Muslims to help them clean up their messes. Even in our countries, we have Muslims preaching hate against us in their mosques, and we're paying them to loaf on welfare while they outbreed us.

They do not know how to play nice - not with us, and not with each other. They do not wish to adhere to the Christian principals of togetherness, teamwork or love-thy-neighbor. Instead they want to kill and maim in the name of their false desert prophet. That is not a religion - it is an abomination.

Luke the gay hairdresser? Yes, Mr Minhas has chosen a scientifically representative sample of early 21st century infidels: a gay hairdresser, a "glamour model" partial to flashing her breasts, an atheist taxi driver with a porn habit, etc. Evidently, Harrogate has changed somewhat from the genteel spa town it was when I took tea and crumpets there some years ago. Anyway, the gay coiffeur and the porno cabbie et al have to live without pork, alcohol, immodest ladies' clothing and non-marital sex. Which pretty much eliminates every pillar of the Yorkshire infidel lifestyle.

Britain's Channel 4 has decided to produce a reality TV show about British infidels living as Muslims under sharia law for the better part of a month. Who decided this was a good idea? Who wants to take bets on the amount of protesting and beheading that goes on once someone utters the word "Mohammed" without remembering to say "peace be upon him" after?

"We were a bit tired," he explained wearily, "of seeing guys with beards who are a bit scary." Indeed. Who among us has not found himself fighting vainly the old ennui at the umpteenth fire-breathing imam exhorting the lads to one more chorus of "Death to the Great Satan"? It was unclear from the publicity what happens if you find the three-week sharia tough-sledding. Do you get voted off the island? Or beheaded off the island?

There are so many reasons to hate this idea.

Hotel billionaire Barron Hilton is stiffing his high-living, hard-partying granddaughters, Paris and Nicky, yesterday announcing plans to give 97 percent of his vast fortune to charity.

His plan includes a $1.2 billion pledge to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, named after his father - a donation that includes the windfall from the recent sale of Hilton Hotels Corp. and the pending sale of the world's biggest casino company, Harrah's Entertainment Inc.

Barron Hilton, 80, chair man of the foundation, intends "to contribute 97 percent of his entire net worth, estimated today at $2.3 billion, including the created trusts, at whatever value it is at the time of his passing," the foundation declared.

There was no immediate comment from Paris.

But family expert Jerry Oppenheimer, author of "House of Hilton," has told The Post that Paris has been an "embarrassment" for the bluebloods, sullying the family name with her vacuous antics.

Poetic, ain't it? Like Leona Helmsley leaving her money to her dog, only better.

Unbelievable. They finally got the poor woman. They've been trying for months.

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday outside a large gathering of her supporters where a suicide bomber also killed at least 14, doctors and a spokesman for her party said.

While Bhutto appeared to have died from bullet wounds, it was not immediately clear if she was shot or if her wounds were caused by bomb shrapnel.

President Pervez Musharraf held an emergency meeting in the hours after the death, according to state media.

Mahmud Ali Durrani, Pakistan ambassador to the United States, said Musharraf will be "announcing something" soon, likely to include a declaration of national mourning for Bhutto. He said that when he briefly spoke with Musharraf, the president "condemned these attacks."

Police warned citizens to stay home as they expected rioting to break out in city streets in reaction to the death.

The abused woman Nazia, lying on her hospital bed and uncertain about her future, told that her husband, twice her age, had suspicions about her behavior. She added 'I swore to him many times that I was faithful to him but he did not believed. He used to beat me. A few days before Eid, he shaved my head and beat me severely. On the first day of the Eid, he cut my ears, then my nose, then damaged my teeth and beat me until my hands and legs were broken.'

'I was second wife of Mumtaz. The first wife was already killed by him' she added with a flow of tears from her eyes.

Such civilized people. Muslims will happily bore you with tales of how Muhammed (the pedophile/murderer) liberated women and Islam gave them all kinds of rights that other religions don't give. However, most other religions that I know of at least allow a woman to live. And not be mutilated. Or circumcised.

But hey, it's a religion of peace.

Or their raises. While Toronto crumbles under the corruption of Mayor Miller and his union-pandering henchmen, private industry is ensuring that Torontonians can get home safely after partying hard on New Years Eve.

The Toronto Transit Commission will be offering people a free ride New Year's Eve thanks to a generous donation from a credit card company.

Capital One has donated $85,000 to the TTC to help it provide the service to party revelers from midnight until 4 a.m.

Though other transit systems in other municipalities regularly offer free rides on New Year's Eve, the TTC hasn't offered the service for 30 years.

The donation is roughly equal to the revenue the TTC will lose by offering the service. About 100,000 people are expected to take advantage of the offer.

Toronto police can preach the "don't drink and drive" message all they want, while other major cities across Canada and around the world offer free transportation to back it up. But Toronto's corrupt mismanagement means that it would be impossible were it not for Citi's publicity stunt.

I hope Miller at least gave his kids something nice for Christmas with my money.

Four pounds of organic beef for $74??? What the jolly fuck is that about? I really don't care if my dinner was loved, given a name, and petted and spoiled right up to the moment it became my dinner.

This actually made me cry at my desk:

Susan Dahl had been homeless for four months in Colorado and had just survived a harrowing 10-hour bus trip through sleet and snow. Hungry and broke, all she wanted to do was get back to family in Minnesota.

That's when a tall man in a red coat and red hat sat next to her at the downtown bus station, talked to her quietly and then slipped her $100.

The man was doing the work of Larry Stewart, Kansas City's original Secret Santa who anonymously wandered city streets doling out $100 bills to anyone who looked like they needed it.

"There was this fella named Larry Stewart," he tells a man in the bus station. "He was an old friend of mine. He was called Secret Santa, and every year he would find a few people who might need a little money and he would ask that you pass on the kindness.''

People respond differently to the gesture. Some cry. Some scream. A rare few even say, "No thanks.''

Others take the money and offer their own gifts. like Robert Young, who was homeless and had only 20 cents in his pocket. When Secret Santa gave him $200, Young, 50, took out an old notebook and ripped out a song he had written.

"It's yours now," he told Secret Santa, who thanked Young, and carefully tucked the pages into his pocket.

There is no doubt that Larry Stewart will be at God's table for Christmas this year.

Drug traffickers in Rio de Janeiro have opened fire on a helicopter carrying an actor dressed as Santa Claus to a children's party in a shanty town.

They apparently believed it was a police helicopter being used in a raid and fired at least two bullets into the fuselage.

The pilot was flying over the Vila Joao shanty town in Brazil's second city when he realised he was under attack and was forced to land.

The undeterred Santa continued his journey by car to keep his promise to deliver his presents.

Note to Toronto traffic reporters - you may want to avoid flying over certain North York neighborhoods...

This is a timely article for us Torontonians.

A top Muslim cleric in Iran, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said on Wednesday that women in Iran who do not wear the hijab or Muslim headscarf, should die.

"Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die," said Hassani, who leads Friday prayers in the city of Urumieh, in Iranian Azerbaijan.

Yet we're told the hijab is a choice....

I LOVE this song. I think it's likely my all-time favorite Christmas tune.



But the idiots at the BBC apparently decided that the words "slut" and "faggot" would be "offensive to some listeners". Well, um, yeah: To sluts and faggots. But they really aren't the Christmas market you're after. Thankfully they came to their senses before ruining a Christmas classic.

Fairytale of New York, the raucous Christmas classic from the Pogues, is to be restored to its full, vulgar glory on Radio 1.

The station was derided for bleeping out the words 'slut' and 'faggot' from the 20-year-old song, saying they could be offensive to listeners.

But last night station controller Andy Parfitt said: "After careful consideration, I have decided the decision to edit the Pogues song Fairytale of New York was wrong."

A Christmas miracle.

This is not the terrorist's fault. This is the idiots (or useful idiots) who were "guarding" him. We should know better than to trust a Muslim under any circumstances, especially when the Koran teaches them to lie to the infidel (the practice of "takiya").

Rashid Rauf, a key suspect in the alleged Heathrow bomb plot, escaped police custody in Pakistan after officers allowed him to pray at a mosque as he was being driven back to prison in his uncle’s car.

The bizarre details of Mr Rauf’s escape, and the lax security, emerged as he spent his second day on the run, and are a huge embarrassment for the Pakistani Government.

Mr Rauf fled while being driven by two police officers from a court in Islamabad, where he had appeared over Britain’s request for his extradition. On a similar journey last year he arrived at court in a police van with three dozen police commando guards and several escort vehicles – standard practice for a high-value suspect.

Investigators have discovered that Mr Rauf left court in his uncle’s car, accompanied by two police officers, and was allowed to stop at a fast-food restaurant for lunch before going on to a mosque to pray.

The two officers waited in the car while Mr Rauf and his uncle, Mohammed Rafiq, entered the prayer room, but when they failed to emerge, the officers discovered that the men had escaped through the back door.

Duh.

If you're too shy to talk about birth control, you're too shy to fuck.

Schoolgirls are being provided with contraception 'credit cards' so they can get the morning-after pill without the embarrassment of having to ask for it.

The cards will allow youngsters to request the pill simply by placing the card on the pharmacist's counter.

Supporters of the scheme say it will cut unplanned pregnancies by helping teenagers avoid a potentially "daunting" conversation.

---

The town has an above average rate of teenage pregnancies, and youth workers believe one reason for this is that teenagers are too ashamed to ask for the morningafter pill.

A pharmacist is a professional. If you can't talk to them to even ask for the goddam pill, what on earth were you thinking when you spread your legs?

"If you are a teenage girl it is quite a daunting thing to go into a pharmacy and say out loud: 'I had unprotected sex.' There may be somebody in [the pharmacy] that you know and in the past that sort of thing may have put girls off from asking for emergency contraception.

Remember when that same sense of shame used to keep girls from spreading at all? Now we just make it easier and easier for them to have random sex.

It's not a pill they need. It's a cork.

Two convicted terrorists who had been freed in an amnesty carried out the suicide bombings at UN and government buildings that killed 37 people, an Algerian security official said Thursday.

One of the bombers was a 64-year-old man in the advanced stages of cancer, while the other was a 32-year-old from a poor suburb that has produced many Islamic militants, the security official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Take it on the micro level: Look at how many crimes get committed locally by assholes out on bail wearing Martha Stewart-esque security tags. Now multiply that by a zillion times the evil and add a pinch of Armageddon, and that's what it means to give amnesty to an Islamic whackjob who's had his brain replaced with Jihad dreams.

The government has offered amnesties to try to end a 15-year Islamic insurgency, resulting in thousands of militants turning themselves in, but sparking fierce criticism from the families of victims.

Looks like he has some competition for being the jackpot winner at the Canadian Human Rights kangaroo courts. His competition is a transexual.

A lawyer from Quebec City says she was dumped as a federal New Democratic Party candidate because she is transgendered.

Micheline Montreuil alleges she was told by an NDP official that her sexuality hindered party attempts to woo new Quebec candidates into the fold.

When I began reading, it looked as if Layton & Co. may have some hypocrisy omelette stuck to their faces. But alas, turns out this "lady" has played the HRC Wheel of Fortune before:

Meanwhile, if Ms. Montreuil heads to court, it wouldn't be the first time.

Last month, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled the Canadian Forces discriminated against Ms. Montreuil in 2003, when it passed her up for a job as a grievance officer.

The tribunal ruled Ms. Montreuil's sexuality was the real reason she didn't get the position and awarded her $40,000.

She won a similar case in 2004 when the same tribunal ruled against the National Bank for failing to hire Ms. Montreuil as a customer service representative.

Good thing, too. Sex changes and hormone treatments can be expensive, and s/he seems to have a good plan for getting it all paid off...

It has been 18 years since an Algerian disguised as a French Canadian murdered 14 women in Montreal. The "men" proved to us that we're on our own to defend ourselves. And the government decided that taxing farmers for their shotguns would prevent it ever happening again.

On Dec 7, 1989, my father turned to me, after the dust had settled and they began to mop up the blood, and said "I am sorry. On behalf of all men, I apologize. We will never again be there for you. We will never again protect you. The only one you can depend on is yourself."

No one has yet proven him wrong.
