Masonic Symbols of Millennial Celebrations Irk Egyptians

Hizbullah's Manar TV will begin broadcasting a program in Hebrew aimed at Israeli public opinion soon, according to the manager of the station. "The first stage will be a trial before we begin to broadcast in Hebrew via satellite," said Nayef Karim, manager of Manar TV.

After more than a year of work, the U.S. House of Representatives refused to release a resolution acknowledging the significant contributions of American's 5 million Muslims to the country last month. The resolution, H.Con.Res. 174, was introduced by House Minority Whip David Bonior (D-MI) and the Chair of the National Republican Committee, Tom Davis (R-VA). Muslim and Arab groups in America said that the resolution would have shown it is willing to condemn anti-Muslim intolerance and would have promised to uphold a level of political discourse that does not scapegoat or stereotype Islam or Muslims.
