Saudi dentist faces “tooth for tooth” ordeal

Patient asks court to order extraction of dentist’s tooth for error

By 
    Staff
Published 
What would you do if you visit a dentist and had the wrong tooth removed. The most likely decision is that you will sue the doctor.
But that was not the case with a Saudi patient who wants to see one of the dentist’s teeth extracted on the basis of “tooth for tooth.”
Imad Al Zahrani said he had suffered from excruciating pains since he had visited the dentist in the central town of Onaiza.
He said the dentist made a mistake when he extracted the wrong tooth, causing severe inflammation in the gum for several weeks.
Zahrani told the Arabic language daily Ajel that he had tried to report the dentist to medical authorities and to his clinic management but they did not take action.
“I went to court and filed a case asking for the enforcement of the ‘tooth for tooth’ rule…I want the court to order one of the dentist’s teeth removed,” he said.
The paper did not say whether the court had started hearing the case but quoted an Islamic scholar as saying Zahrani’s request is not permissible in Islam.
“Zahrani has the legal right to demand damages but he can not ask for the extraction of the dentist’s tooth because what the dentist had done was not deliberate,” said Sheikh Yousuf al Aqel, a professor at the Sharia and Islamic Studies college in the central province of Qasseem.

Dramatic moustache causes man to flee hometown

By Asad Zia

PESHAWAR: 
Malik Ameer Muhammad Afridi has become a celebrity in his own right owing to his 30-inch long moustache curling up to his forehead which he proudly displays along the streets of Peshawar.
Aside from the usual looks of amusement, Afridi’s gangling moustache managed to draw the attention of members of militant group Lashkar-e-Islami.
The iconoclastic facial hair caused him to abandon his hometown of Bara in Khyber Agency after the militants declared it ‘un-Islamic’.
“It was the summer of 2008, when members of the LeI arrested me and took me to a religious scholar who declared the moustache un-Islamic and ordered it to be shaved,” he said.
The pride of Afridi’s life was shaved at gunpoint. Refusing to be cowed by the militants’ threats, however, he decided to move to Peshawar so that his moustache may thrive unfettered.
Afridi said he has not been able to visit his hometown for four years owing to the threat of ‘anti-moustache’ militants. “I left my dear homeland, my friends and relatives and prepared to sacrifice all that but will not compromise my moustache,” he said.
Afridi has been living in Peshawar after braving ‘anti-moustache’ hardliners in Khyber Agency.
Now, he proudly displays his handle-bar moustache in the relatively secure environs of the provincial capital. The 47-year-old runs an electronics business in Deen Plaza and says, “My moustache style is unique. It has made my tribesmen proud as no one in Pakistan has such a moustache.”
Afridi also said his moustache had gained him respect, adding that people even give him their turn while standing in queues outside banks and other places.
Afridi’s moustache-care regime is elaborate. Spending 30 minutes grooming himself every day, he uses oil extracts of almond and coconut to nourish the hair. He then fashions the handlebar whiskers into crescent-like curls using a German-made gel.
However, his gangling whiskers did not amuse his wife. She urged him to get rid of it since he had run afoul of the militants.
Despite his wife’s protestations, Afridi said he would only surrender his moustache – over his dead body.

Insurgent Taliban rake in $400m from different sources: UN report

By Reuters

Report says direct donations account for a major source of revenue apart from taxes. PHOTO: REUTERS/FILE
UNITED NATIONS: The Taliban have raised about $400 million last year from sources that included donations, taxing local economies and extorting money from such targets as drug dealers, cell phone operators and aid projects, according to a UN report on the militant Islamist group released on Tuesday.
The report to the UN Security Council by the sanctions monitoring team said that about $275 million of that income reached Taliban leadership and the rest was collected, spent or misappropriated at the local level.
“The team understands Taliban funding as follows: revenue raised from taxing the local economy serves primarily to support local operations and is only in a few cases channeled upwards,” the report said.
“Revenue extorted from nation-wide enterprises such as narcotics producers and traffickers, construction and trucking companies, mobile telephone operators, mining companies and aid and development projects goes to the Taliban Financial Commission which answers to the Taliban leadership,” it said.
Donations were another major source of funding, which also went directly to the Taliban leadership.
The estimate covers the financial year ended March 20, 2012.
The UN team warned against a general perception that the Taliban’s main source of income was Afghanistan’s opium poppy economy. Afghanistan has long been the world’s leading supplier of opium, accounting for about 90 per cent of global output.
It said that Afghan officials estimate that the Taliban earned about $100 million between 2011 and 2012 from the opium poppy industry, a small share considering the annual value of the drug crop is estimated at $3.6 billion to $4 billion.
“This suggests that the Taliban do not make great efforts to exploit this potential source of revenue,” the report said.
“While it provides enough to finance much of the insurgency in the main poppy growing provinces of Helmand, Kandahar and Uruzgan, the money raised from the drug trade is insufficient to meet the cost of insurgent activity elsewhere,” it said.
Attack financing
Local taxes imposed by the Taliban include a 10 per cent tax on harvest and a 2.5 per cent tax on wealth, the report said. The group will also tax services such as water or electricity, even though they have no control over the supply, and in some areas they will charge small businesses a 10 per cent tax.
Another lucrative source of income has been the foreign funding of aid and development projects.
“Estimates of Taliban income from contracts funded by the United States and other overseas donors range from 10 to 20 per cent of the total, usually by the Taliban agreeing protection money with the contractor or demanding a cut,” the report said.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force estimated that between $100 million and $155 million of the Taliban’s income was spent mounting attacks in 2011, while the rest maintained the insurgency, according to the UN report.
“Since 2006 the Taliban have managed to finance an ever-increasing number of attacks, reflecting a year-on-year increase in income,” the UN report said.
US-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban government in late 2001 when it refused to hand over al Qaeda militants, including Osama bin Laden, after the Islamist network’s hijacked airliner attacks on the United States on September 11 that year.
The Taliban said in a statement to mark the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks that the war on Afghanistan was illegal and called on the United States and its allies “to halt shedding the blood of the oppressed Afghans … and to follow the path of sound reasoning instead of tyranny and stupidity.”
“Every action that you take in this path only displays your brutality, oppression, savagery and arrogance because the Afghans have had no hand in the 9/11 incident and neither have you been able to provide any legitimate or logical proof,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in Sunday’s statement.
Foreign troops have started gradually handing over security control to Afghan soldiers and police, a process that is due to be completed by the end of 2014.

Pakistan 'blasphemy' family tell of fire threat

Rimsha's family told the BBC's Orla Guerin she had done no wrong

Related Stories

The family of a young Pakistani Christian girl, known as Rimsha, who is accused of blasphemy, say their Muslim neighbours threatened to burn them alive inside their home.
Speaking to the BBC under tight security, Rimsha's father said he feared for their lives.
He insisted his daughter was innocent. Rimsha was released on bail on Saturday, but could still face charges.
She had been accused of burning pages from an Islamic textbook.
But a cleric who had accused her was arrested last week for allegedly planting evidence against her, and himself desecrating the Koran.
The case has sparked fresh concerns about the misuse of Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws.
Mob
Rimsha's parents, who are not being named for their own safety, told the BBC's Orla Guerin that their daughter was a shy 11-year-old who was illiterate - like the rest of the family - and had always been slow.

“Start Quote

They were saying: 'We are going to burn you inside the house... then we will burn the homes of the other Christians'”
Rimsha's father quotes some of the family's Muslim neighbours
They said she was sitting quietly at home in their poor neighbourhood on the outskirts of Islamabad when a crowd gathered outside, claiming she had burnt pages from an Islamic textbook. Her mother described trying to hold off the mob.
"A woman hit me," she said, "and slapped my face. People started running into the house to catch my daughter. I was scared they might kill us. We were all crying. My daughter was very upset."
The family said Rimsha survived by locking herself in the bathroom. Her 14-year-old sister, who was locked in the house with her, was also traumatised by the events.
"A lot of people had gathered," Rimsha's sister said, "and they were saying: 'We will cut off the hands of the people who burned the Koran.' Rimsha wouldn't come out of the bathroom. Later the police came and took her away."
The entire family was at risk, according to Rimsha's father - a slight man with a hunted look, who used to earn his living as a house painter. He told our correspondent that their Muslim neighbours had threatened to set them alight.
On the run
"They were saying: 'We are going to burn you inside the house,'" he said. "'We are not going to spare you or your kids. Then we will burn the homes of the other Christians.'
"Even after we left the area they were saying: 'Bring the girl and the family to us. We want to kill them.'"
The family has been in hiding for weeks, moving from place to place under tight security. The government promised to protect them, but past history made them fearful, they said.
"We are worried that we can be attacked and killed any time," Rimsha's father said. "Before, when cases like this have arisen, people who were accused were killed."
Mobs or vigilantes have killed more than 30 people suspected of blasphemy in the past 20 years, according to Christian leaders.
The family insist that Rimsha did not burn any Islamic textbooks.
'Plot'
"We don't have [Muslim] books in our home," Rimsha's father said. "We don't use them and none of us could read them."
Other Christians in their neighbourhood believe Rimsha was the innocent victim of a plot to rid the district of Christian families.
Christians say there were complaints about the noise they made when singing hymns at mass on Sundays.
The imam of the local mosque has been arrested, accused of fabricating evidence against Rimsha. His own deputy claimed the imam had added pages from the Koran to a bag full of ashes allegedly discarded by Rimsha.
Her arrest caused an international outcry and complaints from some senior Muslim clerics in Pakistan - a rare show of concern for a blasphemy suspect, our correspondent says.
Many believe the case against Rimsha will eventually be dropped, she adds.
But though she is out of jail, she may not be out of danger. Her family fear that while they remain in Pakistan, the blasphemy allegation could follow them wherever they go.

GENITAL MUTILATION MAY NOT BE ISOLATED

By Isabel Hayes and Adam Bennett, AAPUpdated September 13, 2012, 7:24 pm

RELATED LINKS

The charging of four people over the circumcision of two young girls in Sydney has led to fears that other cases of female genital mutilation have gone undetected in NSW.
A sheik, a retired nurse and a man and woman have been charged over the genital mutilation of the girls, who were aged six and seven when the procedure was allegedly carried out in a home in metropolitan Sydney 18 months ago.
It is understood to be the first time anyone has been charged over the offence in NSW, with police alleging the procedure was carried out for cultural reasons.
Shabbir Vaziri, 56, a sheik from Auburn, appeared before Burwood Local Court on Thursday where he was granted bail.
He is charged with two counts of being an accessory after the fact to female genital mutilation and with hindering the police investigation.
Earlier on Thursday, a 68-year-old woman - a retired nurse - was charged with performing the procedure on the two girls.
A 42-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman were arrested last Friday and charged with two counts of female genital mutilation. Police have refused to confirm media reports the pair are the girls' parents.
Detective Superintendent John Kerlatec told reporters the girls were members of a small cultural community in Sydney and were still living in the family home.
"The children are still with their parents. I can stress that, despite this procedure, they are good parents," Det Supt Kerlatec said.
"Contradictory as it may sound, it's a procedure that they believe in their own culture is appropriate."
There was no pattern of abuse in the family home, he added.
Police and Health NSW have engaged strongly with the community in question, and Det Supt Kerlatec said many people had been "forthcoming with their rejection" of the practice of circumcising girls.
"Sadly, there are some members of the community who think it is still an accepted process," he said.
Asked if he thought there may be more victims, Det Supt Kerlatec said: "We're not aware of any other incidents at this stage, but I can't discount that fact."
NSW Family and Community Services and Minister Pru Goward said she thought it was "unlikely" that the incident was an isolated one.
"That's why the rules were changed in 1994, because I believe that the state was aware that this was a distinct possibility," Ms Goward told reporters at NSW parliament.
Ms Goward said female genital mutilation was an "abhorrent practice" and "a form of child abuse".
"It is illegal, and whilst there might be cultural practices acceptable to some communities in NSW, it remains the case that it is illegal and that the full force of the law will be brought to bear," she said.
The court heard Vaziri held an Indian passport and was about to fly to India when he was arrested, making him a possible flight risk.
Granting bail to Vaziri, Magistrate Christopher Longley noted that if convicted he would probably be jailed.
"To the overwhelming majority of citizens, this is a most serious set of circumstances," he said.
Vaziri's matter was adjourned to September 26 in Parramatta Local Court, when the 42-year-old man and 35-year-old woman will also appear.
The retired nurse will face Campbelltown Local Court on October 3.

Radical Islamist sentenced to probation for terrorism promotion

Tags: Terrorism, Sentence, The Moscow City Court, Russia
13:50 13/09/2012
MOSCOW, September 13 - RAPSI. The Moscow City Court has sentenced radical Islamist Tatyana Tarasova to 1.5 years of probation for posting an article promoting terrorism on a Muslim advocacy website that she administered, the court told the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI/rapsinews.com) Thursday.
Tarasova pleaded guilty in the case. Her case was considered via special procedure in one day. The special procedure classification ensures a trial without an evidentiary review or witness testimonies, and the court cannot sentence the defendant to the maximum punishment.
According to the investigators, Tarasova converted to Islam and began supporting radical Islamic views and the idea of committing terrorist acts against non-Muslims in an effort to unite the Muslim world under a "global Islamic caliphate."
In 2005, she joined the interregional "Islamic Committee" movement as the deputy chairman. She also started administering its website. Investigators believe that Tarasova used the website to promote the organization's beliefs, and published materials promoting terrorist activities.
Tarasova studied theology at Moscow State University's Philosophy Department.
Investigators have said that she understood the consequences of her actions.

Pakistan: Editor of English daily thrashed for watching TV




Islamabad: An editor of one of Pakistan's leading English dailies was beaten up by four men outside his home in the port city of Karachi for watching TV and listening to music.
Though the incident occurred on August 27 and Zainul Abedin, op-ed editor of The News daily, reported the matter to police, no action has been taken by authorities so far, journalists in Karachi said.
The men who attacked the journalist are members of a proselytising group. According to Abedin, four men kicked open the gate of his house in the in Gulshan-e-Iqbal area at 11 pm (local time) on August 27 and began to abuse him.
When Abedin went to the gate to talk to the men, he was surrounded and grabbed.
One of the men objected to Abedin watching TV and listening to qawwalis. When he asked them who they were and why objected to whatever a person did in the privacy of his home, one of the men reportedly said: "We do have a problem with these things but we will solve your problem today."
The men beat Abedin and one of them punched him on the face and broke his glasses. As they kicked and slapped Abedin, the men warned they would not let him go unless he repented and said he would not watch TV or listen to music.
The men attempted to follow Abedin into his house, where he lives with his sister, but he closed the gate. They went away but threatened him as they left.
The men warned Abedin not to turn on his TV or listen to songs and qawwalis.
The men reportedly live behind Abedin's home and were known in the neighbourhood for their "puritanical ways and their disdain" towards anyone who watches TV and listens to music, The News reported.
They were also known to go from house to house in the name of the Tableeghi Jamaat, a proselytising group, and urge people to give up their "sinful" ways.
Abedin filed a complaint at the police station in Gulshan-e-Iqbal but no action has been taken so far. The News said in a report that the incident "draws attention to a disturbing phenomenon".
It added: "The attitude and action of such elements should be unacceptable not only for the direct victims of their threats and intimidation but also to those worried about the rise of extremism in our midst. The lack of police action so far can only embolden such zealots."
Ironically, several senior reporters and columnists of The News have often been accused of being sympathetic towards right wing elements and hardline religious groups.

Intolerance growing in South Punjab: Report

By Zahid Gishkori
Published: September 3, 2012
Report by the Minority Rights Commission states minorities in the region have been living in fear of persecution. PHOTO: AFP/FILE
ISLAMABAD: 
South Punjab, perhaps the most impoverished region of the province, has little to offer to its religious minorities.
With growing discrimination and a flawed registration system, members of minority communities in the region have been living in fear of persecution, according to a report by the Minority Rights Commission.
Over 0.25 million non-Muslims live in five districts of south Punjab – Rahim Yar Khan, Muzaffargarh, Multan, Layyah and Khanewal.
As a result of increasing persecution and discrimination, members of the Hindu community in the region are being forced to convert to Islam. Non-Muslim women are also being forced to change their religion and marry Muslim men.
According to the report, this new trend of forced conversions and forced marriages is on the rise in South Punjab, particularly in Rahim Yar Khan and adjacent areas.
School admissions refused
The report further revealed that growing intolerance and flaws in registration processes is shutting the doors to education for minorities in the region.
In Rahim Yar Khan, members of minority communities, particularly Hindus, are unable to register their children in government schools, which have refused admissions due to the absence of birth certificates.
Furthermore, without Computerised National Identity Cards, over 150,000 non-Muslims have been unable to register their children for secondary school examinations since 2001.
Hindus are also unable to get their marriages registered in the absence of formal laws in the country.
Land grabbers
Furthermore, the report claims that in Muzaffargarh district, land grabbers have snatched hundreds of acres of cultivated land from Christian families, who have been tilling the land for the last 35 years. Over 20,000 non-Muslims reside in the district.
Balmiki Hindus, a sect of the religion, are facing their own share of alleged highhandedness by Muslims in Multan, where the community has lost their ancestral graveyard to the land-grab mafia.
Multan has allegedly attracted the binary attention of jihadis and religious fanatics due its significance as the new hub of political power and economic activity.
The Auqaf Department in Multan receives millions of rupees as rent from the commercial properties of Hindus, but the money is spent on Muslim, instead of Hindu, festivals, the report claimed.
The minority community has staged demonstrations against this injustice but authorities concerned have failed to take any action so far.
False accusations
Layyah district, where over 20,000 non Muslims reside, is also witnessing a peculiar trend of false accusations of desecration of the holy Quran and blasphemy against minorities.
A majority of non Muslims in Shantinagar, Khanewal district, have been living in fear since decades. In 1997, 900 houses burnt out in a village in the area after it was alleged that pages of the Holy Quran were burned by local non Muslims.
The quota for non Muslim women in government jobs in the district has also been restricted.

Bonded labour: More than 200 freed from private prison

MULTAN: 
More than 200 people of 11 peasant families were freed from a private prison in Gopalpur village on Friday in a joint raid by Basti Malook and Cantonment police.
The raiding team arrested 13 men who were guarding the prison   and seized their weapons.
Cantonment Police Superintendent Rana Mansoorul Haq, who headed the police party that raided the village, identified the landowner who had illegally detained these people as Imran Arain. He said two police teams were looking for him and hoped that they would soon arrest him. The SP said raids had been carried out in Muzaffargarh and Shujabad.
The SP said the police had yet to register an FIR because none of the families were interested in filing a complaint for the purpose. However, he said, the police were looking for the suspect.
The SP said those released from the prison had left for their hometowns. He said they were offered accommodation at one of the shelter homes run by the provincial government but they wanted to return to their families. He said the identity of the families would be disclosed after the arrest of the suspect.
He said the 13 guards arrested in the raid were being interrogated about the whereabouts of the suspect. “They said they were told to keep a watch on the detainees and threatened with death if any of them managed to escape,” he said.
Talking to the media after they were freed on Friday, some elderly men said they had been confined for almost three decades. They said they were detained on failing to repay the loans they owed Arain. Others said they had been kept in chains and made to work on the farm. They said they were frequently beaten for asking for more food.
The raid was carried out on Human Rights Commission of Pakistan coordinator Rashid Rahman’s complaint. Rahman had filed the complaint to the district administration who forwarded it to the city police officer, Amir Zulfiqar Khan.
Rehman said he had learnt about the confinement of the peasant families through some villagers.

Preacher accuses colleagues of spreading hate

BY LINAH BENYAWA
Sheikh Juma Ngao, a Muslim cleric, has accused his colleagues of fanning violence that rocked Mombasa since Monday.
Ngao said some clerics were preaching hate against Christians.
“Using the killing of the preachers to burn churches, destroy property and kill innocent people is criminal. Why cause destruction in the name of Islam, which is against the teachings?” said Ngao, chairman of Kenya National Muslim Advisory Council.
Ngao noted some priests have brainwashed youths making them attack churches and disregard Christians. Some of the alleged hate promoters, according to Ngao, are street preachers.
Meanwhile, a group of Muslim and Christians leaders appealed to parents to restrain their sons from violence.
They warned that large-scale demonstrations will spark more chaos and threaten peace.
The group known as Mombasa Peacekeeping Committee called for religious tolerance and urged preachers to refrain from incitement.
Chairperson Irene Randu said, “We want peace back in Mombasa because the town has been known as city of hospitality.  We cannot afford to lose that good name because of fights.”
They called for deployment of more security personnel in the town and resettlement of all people displaced by violence in Mombasa and Tana River counties.
