Images Of Dead Syrian Boy Washed Up On The Shores Of Turkey Has Sparked Outrage All Over The World!

These were the words of Abdullah, the father of the 3 year old dead Syrian boy whose dead body was found washed up on the Turkish shores. The images of the dead Syrian boy, Aylan whose dead body was found on the coast of turkey, have sparked an outrage all over the world with criticism for developed countries and their inaction in helping the migrants who are fleeing Syria in a bid to escape the inhumane occupation by Islamic fundamentalists. Developed nations can wage wars on countries rich in oil reserves in the guise of ‘liberating people from oppressive governments’ but when it comes to helping people who are in dire need for support, they simply look the other way.

The images of the dead Syrian boy have left us shocked and disgusted. Humans, Humans everywhere, but not a drop of humanity left! Republican candidate Ben Carson triggers controversy with anti-Muslim comment. "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.

Republican candidate Ben Carson triggers controversy with anti-Muslim comment

I absolutely would not agree with that," Carson told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. Carson, a retired brain surgeon, who often refers to his own deep Christian faith, said he thought a US president's religion should be "consistent with the Constitution. " Asked if he thought Islam met this bar, he said: "No, I do not. " Carson, who is third in opinion polls on who should be the Republican candidate, made his remarks after front-runner Donald Trump declined to challenge a questioner's assertion that US President Barack Obama was a Muslim. Trump had responded to the question whether he would accept a Muslim president by saying: "Some people have said it already happened. " Widespread condemnation Carson's comments quickly drew scorn from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, another of the sixteen Republican presidential candidates for the November 2016 vote.

'Nude' isn't the same for all women. Photo: Handout Crayola changed the name of its 'flesh' crayon to 'peach' back in 1962 - but Google "lingerie" in 2014 and you'll find the name "nude" still overwhelmingly refers to light-peachy-beige.

'Nude' isn't the same for all women

So a simple thing like wearing a white shirt to work isn't simple for a woman whose nude isn't "nude. " Do you wear white, and know it'll show? Or a close-as-you-can-get beige or brown - and know it will still show? Nubian Skin, a new London-based lingerie/hosiery business that has just opened online, is creating quite the splash with its answer: four shades of lingerie and hosiery that range from a golden caramel to a deep brown with just a hint of rose. Maybe even cooler? Advertisement Other shades are Berry, the darkest, and Cafe au Lait, the lightest.

Jeremy Corbyn has breathed new life into politics but only boosted Labour's ratings by a whisker, poll reveals

The survey shows 52% of voters think the party’s new leader has made people more interested in politics while just 22% disagreed. And 41% believe he offers a positive difference from other politicians. A total of 31% disagree. Do you agree or disagree that Jeremy Corbyn is making people more interested in politics? Mr Corbyn has boosted Labour’s fortunes – by a whisker. But the Tories are up two points on 42%, stretching David Cameron’s lead to 12 points since our poll last month. How would you vote at a General Election? Asked if 66-year-old Mr Corbyn ought to smarten up and shave off his trademark beard, just 22% say he should – against 54% who disagree. The survey found 50% think the anti-monarchy MP should have sung the national anthem at the Battle of Britain memorial in St Paul’s ­Cathedral while 29% disagree. Jeremy Corbyn has not convinced voters he would be better than Cameron, poll finds.

Jeremy Corbyn has done little to boost Labour’s popularity and faces an uphill struggle to convince voters that he would be a better prime minister than David Cameron, according to a new Opinium/Observer poll.

Jeremy Corbyn has not convinced voters he would be better than Cameron, poll finds

The survey taken during Corbyn’s first week as Labour leader found almost twice as many voters choosing Cameron (41%) over Corbyn (22%) as the best occupant of No 10. While 89% of Tory voters said Cameron would be the best PM, only 58% of Labour backers said they thought Corbyn would do the job best, suggesting serious doubts within Labour ranks about their newly elected leader. When asked a separate question – if they could imagine Corbyn as prime minister – 32% of likely voters said they could. However, 57% said they could not, including nearly a quarter (23%) of Labour voters. The poll showed that, while enthusiasm for Corbyn and interest in his election as leader may have had a small positive effect on Labour’s ratings, there has been no huge bounce.

The rebels crossed into Syria in 12 vehicles equipped with machine guns over the weekend, it added. It comes days after a top US general said only a handful of rebels trained by the US were still fighting in Syria. Republican politicians have branded the $500m (£323m) scheme to train and equip around 5,000 rebels a "total failure". "Seventy-five new fighters trained in a camp near the Turkish capital entered Aleppo province between Friday night and Saturday morning," said the observatory's director, Rami Abdel Rahman. The group entered the country in convoy under air cover from the US-led coalition, which has been targeting Islamic State (IS) militants in their strongholds in Syria and Iraq, he added.
