My thoughts and prayers go out to all who have lost their lives, a loved one or been maimed in these campaigns of violence.

In šaʾ Allāh (إن شاء الله) this madness will end.

International Women’s Day is 08th March 2008, and there is no better place to celebrate it then London, England – the most global capital in the world. Read about planned events for this most electric day for women world-wide. And every now and again I will post human rights issues near and dear to my heart.
