New Yorker is rightfully outraged when his car is blocked in by double-parked Muslim taxis, whose drivers are praying at the mosque around the corner. Police refuse to ticket the taxis because Bloomberg has ordered them to stand down when Muslims inconvenience everyone else for their faith.
A 15-YEAR-OLD western Sydney schoolgirl was allegedly bashed by her Afghan father because she had been talking to boys on Facebook.
The beating happened because the girl from Mt Druitt had been promised to another man in Afghanistan in an arranged marriage.
