A seemingly unprovoked attack by NATO (unknown at this time if it was just US forces) on two Pakistan miltary posts has led to the death of at least 24 Pakistani military personnel. I know the borders are not the best defined but his is pretty shocking and even worse I haven't seen it mentioned...

I listen to NPR's The World daily on the way home from work. Yesterday, they had a segment on a situation I'd not heard of before. There is an Islamic sect called the Ahmadi. They are in all ways Muslim except for one, they don't think Mohammed was the last prophet. They think this guy...
