Faruqi spoke to CNN while seated barefoot on the stone floor of the Hazrat Shah Khwaza Sharfuddin Chisti Mazar Mosque, dressed in a white shalwar kamiz and wearing an embroidered golden cap.
He says he has a mission to continue spreading his father's message that Islam "is not the religion of terrorists."
"My father preached moderate Islam," Faruqi says.
"There are Christians, there are Hindus, there are Jews ... we respect them, we don't force them to obey our opinion."
But the bearded cleric worries about what he describes as the rising tide of extremism in his country.
"Bangladesh has to stop this (extremist) ideology," he says.
"If these (people) will not be stopped, there will be a massacre of people who love Sufism, who love moderate Islam." "

Drone strikes British Airways flight on approach to Heathrow Airport | Fox News
Frankly it was only a matter of time before we had a drone strike given the huge numbers being flown around by amateurs who don't understand the risks and the rules," Steve Landells of the British Airline Pilots Association told Sky.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority's so-called "drone code" requires the unmanned craft to be kept away from planes and airports, and not be flown above 400 feet.

Fodboldindustriens ti "topdirektører" modtager årligt mellem 150 millioner og 555 millioner kroner i samlede indtægter
Top-10: Fodboldstjerner skovler penge ind | Sporten | DR
Ifølge France Football modtager Fodboldindustriens ti "topdirektører" hvert år mellem 150 millioner og 555 millioner kroner i samlede indtægter fra lønninger, bonusser og sponsorater.
"Hvert år præsenterer det franske fodboldmagasin, France Football, et hæfte kaldet ’Salaires des stars’ – frit oversat til ’Stjernernes salærer’. 2016 er ingen undtagelsen, og som for et år siden er det med samme mand på førstepladsen.
Stjernespillernes samlede indtægt er opgjort ved at sammenregne årslønnen, bonusordninger samt andre indtægter som eksempelvis sponsorater. Vi har på DR Sporten omregnet beløbene til danske kroner, og for overblikkets skyld har vi regnet med 7,5 kroner per euro. Se listen over de 10 fodboldspillere her:

F-35 kan slå helt fejl.
om F-35: "Fordelen er, at USA har ikke noget alternativ. Det her er too big to fail. De er NØDT til at få det til at fungere." Passer ikke, slet ikke, USA kan sagtens droppe dette overambitiøse projekt som aldrig bliver den succes man havde håbet. faktisk kan de blive NØDT TIL at droppe det på grund af de helt vanvittige omkostninger til et projekt, som ikke yder det man har pustet det op til i diverse reklamer. Allerede nu har US Navy så småt trukket sig ud af projektet og man er begyndt at kigge på 6. generations fly. Her mener jeg at eksperten tager fejl.. flyet har allerede fløjet i flere år og alligevel så "Fordi det endnu ikke er færdigudviklet, er flyet nok først fuldt funktionsdygtigt om ti år." Det er helt absurd.

Pornography is addictive just like drugs are addictive - porn kills the soul.
Pornography is addictive just like drugs are addictive.

"pornography is addictive just like drugs are addictive. One other expert cited in the article is Philip Zimbardo, emeritus professor of psychology at Stanford University. He makes the argument that porn often goes hand-in-hand with videogames and is similarly fine-tuned to be as habit-forming as possible. He then makes the statement,
“Porn embeds you in what I call present hedonistic time zone. You seek pleasure and novelty and live for the moment.”
Now remember the fact that out of the blue the word hedonism appeared in the Wall Street Journal in an article I cited on The Briefing yesterday. Now just one day later, Time magazine brings that ancient competitor to Christianity, hedonism, back into a moral context in an article that appears to ignore that very context. One of the most revealing aspects of this cover story in Time magazine is that even as the magazine and so many people cited within it point to the grave dangers of pornography and the reality of sexual addiction and the harm that it brings into so many lives, they are clear,
“The one thing that these young men are not suggesting is an end to porn, even if that were possible.”
One of the young activist cited in the article said,
“I don’t think that pornography should be legislated or banned or restricted.”
“In any case,” the magazine says, “legislating porn has always been fraught [that means difficult or complicated], and today that’s not just because of the First Amendment but also because of technology.”
One of the other really sad aspects of this article is the documentation of how many 12-, 13-, and 14-year-olds have what is described in the magazine as “access to unrestricted and endlessly novel Internet porn way before they discover that it could potentially have harmful side effects.”
You need to take the word “potentially” out of this. There is no way that pornography can be safely consumed. But this also tells us something else. The entire article, the way Time magazine approaches this, is as if somehow safe is defined merely in physical, in health, or in physiological terms. That is absolute nonsense. What is missing here is the understanding that pornography affects not only the body and not only the brain, but also the soul. But that requires a Christian worldview. And that’s what’s absent in our secularizing culture and that’s why it’s represented in the fact that Time magazine comes out with an article, a cover story on pornography, with a cover image that is itself pornographic; how Time magazine comes out with an article suggesting the problems of pornography, acknowledging even a public health dimension to pornography, but trying to deal with it without any moral dimension whatsoever; an article that documents the danger of addiction to pornography and even its physiological aspects in terms of the male brain and then comes back to argue: but all that having been said, not even those who document the problem want to make pornography anymore restricted not to mention illegal."
