As I said before it is always money that soothes

In UN week, Saudi says to ease Palestinian crisis

(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia will pay $200 million to the Palestinian Authority, the official Palestinian news agency said on Monday, funds that will ease a financial crisis faced by the authority as it prepares to apply for full U.N. membership this week.

Saudi Finance Minister Ibrahim Alassaf called Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to tell him his government would transfer the funds, the WAFA agency reported.

A shortfall in funding from Arab states including Saudi Arabia had been identified as the cause of the crisis which has highlighted the authority's vulnerability as President Mahmoud Abbas prepares to press the Palestinians' statehood agenda at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York.

Last week, both the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank identified the authority's financial crisis as a danger to the state-building program which Fayyad's administration has led over the last two years.

In the last three months, the authority has twice failed to pay salaries to its 150,000 employees on time and in full.

The success of the state-building plan was one of the reasons cited by Palestinian officials for their decision to go to the United Nations, despite U.S. and Israeli opposition.

The Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited self government in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, remains reliant on foreign aid to fill a deficit projected at $900 million this year.

WAFA said Alassaf called Fayyad while the Palestinian prime minister was on his way back to the Middle East from New York, where he had attended a meeting of international donors which support the Palestinian Authority.

The Fayyad plan aimed to ready the Palestinians for the establishment of an independent state in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem -- territories occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.

But the U.S.-backed peace process which they hoped would yield their independence has ground to a halt -- another reason Palestinian officials give for pursuing their diplomatic step at the United Nations.

Abbas has said he will on Friday submit an application for full membership for a state of Palestine. The United States, another major donor to his administration, has said it will block such a move.

Washington says only direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians can advance the cause of peace.

Last month, Abbas appealed for Arab financial support to help the Palestinians deal with "pressures and threats" from Israel and its allies which he said were a risk to the plan to seek U.N. recognition of Palestinian statehood.

None of this sh!t is true.

Why lock something for telling the truth? Muhammad did rape a 9 year old girl, and he started out robbing caravans and murdering people. Anyone that doesn't know that shouldn't even be posting about Islam for the reason it's a well known fact. It's not like it's a secret or something. I mean are we supposed to lie on here just to sound PC?

you sure know how to kill a good joke

Some might wish to discuss the Massacre of the Banu Qurayza in 627AD. The first ever recorded pogrom of Jews by Muslims, when there were barely any Muslims. Pretty grisly business, what with the beheading of hundreds of Jewish men and enslavement of the women and children. And all inspired, so they say, by the angel Gabriel whispering in the Prophet's ears. The religion of peace, as they say.

Look, I'm well aware that much of the recorded history of Jewish/Muslim relations was cordial and downright friendly. But I also know that the butchery goes back to the very beginning. And I know that the Prophet was there when it was going down.

OK Ok, don't rush me

If you are pilgriming to Mecca, and take the normal short cut through the Rub' Al-khali. and come to the Oasis called "6 palms and many rabbits"

You may find a pile of chocolate covered peanuts on the ground.

Good. That is because they are not chocolate covered peanuts.
