The Muslim World

1.CAIRO -- Muslim mobs set two Cairo churches on fire overnight during sectarian clashes that left 12 dead and more than 200 injured. The deepening religious violence in military-ruled Egypt exacerbated an already chaotic and lawless transition to democracy.

2.Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has dismissed three key ministers, including the oil minister, as part of a proposed merger between ministries, the president's website said Saturday. The move comes amid mounting tensions between Mr. Ahmadinejad on one side and lawmakers and the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the other. In addition to oil minister Masoud Mirkazemi, Industry and Mines minister Ali Akbar Mehrabian has also been removed, the statement on the presidential website said.

3.A mysterious man known by some as the Iranian president’s “exorcist” has been arrested, in the latest sign that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s involvement with purveyors of the so-called “dark arts” is raising concerns among Iran’s leadership. Abbas Ghaffari, described as Ahmadinejad’s “exorcist” or “jinn (genie) catcher” is reportedly among a number of people in Ahmadinejad’s circle who have been arrested lately, amid reports of continuing strains between the president and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As is typical in Iran, details on the timing and specific charges behind the arrests are somewhat murky.

COMMENT: What is going on with this lunatic? On second thoughts, this might explain his delusional leadership.

4.Authorities detained a Saudi woman on Saturday after she launched a campaign against the driving ban for women in the ultraconservative kingdom and posted a video of herself behind the wheel on Facebook and YouTube to encourage others to copy her.

COMMENT: Thats Barack and Hillary's new baby. They must be watching this from the 50th floor of the State Department. Wonder if this women sees them from the basement? She must have been inspired by Obama's example of a the Tunisian man who set himself on fire. This one is on you Barack baby!

5.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused Western countries of plotting to "cause drought" in Iran by using high tech equipment to drain the clouds of raindrops. Moments after the Iranian president made the startling claim at the inauguration of a dam in a central province, it started to rain. "Western countries have designed plans to cause drought in certain areas of the world, including Iran," Mr Ahmadinejad said in the city of Arak in Markazi province.

COMMENT: If it wasn't so sad, it might be funny. This would make a great Disney cartoon. Mahmoud Mickey Mouse on weed.
