Trouble with Blogs

So lately I've been having some trouble posting to my blog, I think it's a result of switching over to the new google based accounts. For anyone that does want to see recent activity, check out Laila El-Haddad's Blog Raising Yousef, there's a link at the left handside. Check out the comment board from the latest post, I've been having an actual discussion with someone about the Palestinian issue, a great relief from some other people I get who get off with a great virtual shouting match. This person is actually an intellectual with real concern and not with the Israel 1: Palestine 0 attitude.

In some disturbing news out of Iraq, a Sunni mosque in Haswa had its minaret blown off and aresenists set fire to the place. The Aljazeera network covered this and said that it seemed to be a revenge attack for the destruction of a Shia mosque the day before. This really paints a bad picture for the Muslims in Iraq. The war there intensifies everyday and the mentality of some of these militias is degrading. No Muslim whether they are Sunni or Shia would ever burn a mosque down, it is a place of prayer and worship. These elements inside Iraq are part of the local militias that are run by crooks and theives and promise a good life for those who would join them. It is a despicable act and if they think that God will reward them, they are seriously mistaken, and insane.

And now to the local crooks, gas prices across the GTA are at an all time high ($106.5/L). All though the refinery that caught fire has been back online for weeks now, the prices at the pumps remain fixed. Seems like everyone profited from the March break travel season, except those travelling. I think it's time we get legislation into Parliament to cap the price of gas. Or we can always stop selling at least a portion of Alberta's gas to America and keep our own prices down, but then who would profit from the taxes and tarrifs. Food for thought, atleast that's not taxed here.
