www.countercurrents.org/versey060210.htm

Had it been ‘Lady Al Qaeda’, she might have raised her hand and screamed, “Out, damned spot!” Is Afia Siddiqui a Lady Macbeth metaphorical clone, a “psycho”, anti-Semitic as she is being accused of and which reveals the febrile mindset of those indicting her?

As a conscientious citizen of this world and a mother two boys, I am tormented by the ways things are in the USA, Iran, and other parts of the world.

Shiv Sena Ire Against Shah Rukh Khan
By Ram Puniyani

www.countercurrents.org/puniyani060210.htm

Shiv Sena and its offshoot, Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sena, both thrive on the divisive sentiments. The spirit of National integration is being attacked by the actions of these regional forces.
