“Man And Woman Stoned To Death For Having An Affair”

The ReadyWriter

A man and a woman who allegedly committed adultery, were stoned to death in a village controlled by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The barbaric act is the latest in a string of archaic sentences handed down by the Taliban, which practices a strict adherence to Islamic law.

The couple, both in their 20s, had their hands tied behind their backs and stood in a field; as several people among 100 local villagers threw rocks at them until they died.

The man, 28, was married, while the woman, 23, was engaged. The couple allegedly confessed to having had an affair with one another.

Wow! I guess all of the adulterers in the United States should be lucky that this isn’t the law of this land. Even a stoning by “tongue lashing” is less painful I’m sure.

“His Critics are Outraged Over His Comment”

But that’s nothing new…U.S. president Barack Obama’s statements backing the construction of a Muslim mosque near the site of the World Trade Center disaster is being met with outrage from those who oppose the planned project.

At a dinner Friday celebrating the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Mr. Obama said Muslims have a right, as a matter of religious freedom, to build a religious center near Ground Zero. “Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country,” he said to applause.

While Muslim leaders praised Mr. Obama’s support of the proposed NYC mosque, proponents picked up on Obama’s lack of sensitivity for the families of the 3,000 victims of September 11.

Rev. Gregory S. Whelton, a pastor at St. John’s United Church of Christ in Sheboygan, said he believes Muslims have the right to build mosques anywhere, but he feels Ground Zero should be off-limits because of the circumstances of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“To do it in light of what has happened, I’m not sure I would agree with that,” he said. “But as far as their right to do it, absolutely.”

But I’m only going to blog about one of these restaurants!!!

Alessio’s 426 in Metuchen, NJ. This authentic Italian spot had food and appetizers to make you lick your lips for days.

With fried calamari on the menu prepared four different ways, my dinner companion chose to have the buffalo calamari as an appetizer which he said, was made in the likeness of buffalo wings so to speak.

As a meal he chose to have the eggplant parmesan, while I had the shrimp alfredo and a spinach salad. The food was prepared to perfection and the staff was professional, friendly, attentive and courteous. That’s always important!!

Owner & Chef Jimmy Trabelsi (pictured below), studied at a culinary school in Milano Marittima, Italy.

Taking his culinary talent to New York City, Jimmy further perfected his cooking skills with an emphasis on natural and organic ingredients,  with old world knowledge mixed with contemporary techniques, he, along with his wife Fern have created Alessio.

So if ever coming from the shore points of New Jersey, check out Alessio’s, it’s well worth the trip!

Kindly continue to send me your restaurant recommendations and where you want to see me dine next! You never know when I will show up, to dine in your neck of the woods. 🙂

Her reality show.

“The two reconnected just one day after Fantasia was released from the hospital … following an aspirinoverdose.”

“But here’s the rub — the emotional rendezvous was all caught on tape by a camera crew that was clearly working with Fantasia and Antwaun Cook … possibly for her reality show.” Read more…

Guess all of her drama was for her reality television show? That’s too much energy for reality television, hope it’s all worth it.
