TRIPOLI, Libya - Libya's new leaders will declare liberation today, officials said, a move that will start the clock for elections after months of bloodshed that culminated in the death of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. But the victory has been clouded by questions over how Gadhafi was killed after images emerged showing he was found alive and taunted and beaten by his captors.
Islamists are targeting Western Muslim porn stars. This is how far the West has fallen: The porn star versus the Koran. Sila Sahin, a daytime TV soap-opera star, has sparked a public firestorm in Germany. The 25-year-old actress appears topless on the current cover of the German edition of Playboy. By Western standards, Ms. Sahin's behavior is typical, even tame. She is an amoral celebrity hoping to cash in on her fame by baring it all. Been there, done that. Marilyn Monroe, Drew Barrymore, Daryl Hannah - the list goes on of celebrities who have posed for Playboy. Yet Ms. Sahin is Muslim. Raised in Germany by conservative Turkish parents, she is casting her actions as a form of personal liberation, a brave rebellion against the strict moral standards and repressive sexual norms of her t...

[Jeremiah Wright] called the slams against him for his so-called "rants" not an attack on him, but an "attack on the Black Church." Wright also referenced the term "liberation theology." He said liberation theology began from the vantage point of the oppressed. Wright said the prophetic theology of the Black Church during the days of segregation, lynching and Jim Crow was a theology of liberation. Reverend Harold Lewis, rector of Calvary Episcopal Church in Shadyside, and adjunct professor in church and society at the Httsburgh Theological Seminary, said, "That which distinguishes liberation theology from "traditional theology" is that the latter, historically, has been written by the "haves," those in privileged positions, which in the Western church have been white males; whereas libe...
ONESBORO, Ark. - Shedding his white death- row smock for the first time in 17 years, Damien Echols wore a dark suit, fashionable plastic-rimmed eyeglasses and a confident grin Friday as he spoke to reporters and ecstatic supporters. The man once known as a monster in nearby West Memphis - a triple child killer - was free after spending nearly all of his adult life on Arkansas' death row.
[Abed Hammoud] also said that those who call for the Lebanese resistance to lay down its arms do so because they did not live under occupation and did not feel its wrath and the pain and humiliation it inflicted on the people of Lebanon. He also talked about the fact that many of Dearborn residents, like himself, came from South Lebanon and that if they lived to come to the United States, it wasn't because Israel decided to treat them like humans and spare their lives, it was sheer luck. "We lived because we were lucky, and because the Israeli bombs missed us." Hammoud explained that the Lebanese Resistance was not born in a vacuum and that its members were not born violent, neither did they learn violence in their mosques or their Koran. They fought because they had to and they needed ...
Africa's oldest liberation move- ment, the African National Con- gress of South Africa, split into two in December following its leader- ship's firing of the president of South Africa, Mr. Thabo Mbeki. The ANC became South Africa's first democratically elected ruling party at the collapse of the UN- declared crime against humanity system of Apartheid in 1994. The new splinter group, known as the Congress of the People (COPE), has been founded by many of the ANCs stalwarts, such as Sam Shilowa, who was both a member of the ANC National Executive as well as the South African Commu- nist Party (SACP), a long-time ally of the ANC. Shilowa resigned as premier of Gauteng Province, in which the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria are situated, immedi- ately following Mbeki's firing. He was joi...
