Male workers at Welsh university win equal pay claim

Twenty-three male workers at a university in Wales who were paid less than their female counterparts have won around £500,000 in compensation after suing for sex discrimination.

Eighteen caretakers and tradesmen took the University of Wales, Trinity St David (UWTSD) to an employment tribunal claiming they were paid less than women on the same pay grade, including secretaries and office workers.

The university’s legal team told a hearing in Cardiff that they would no longer be contesting the claim and agreed to pay out to the claimants and five more men on the same pay grade.

Islam’a religious war with everyone

Few divides are as impossible to bridge as those of religion. You either believe or you don’t.

When it comes to Islam, non-Muslims are expected to take its goodwill on faith. If you believe your eyes and ears, Islam and violence go together like peanut butter and jelly. But if you believe Muslims and their spin doctors with academic degrees, Muslims are the victims of other religions.

If Muslims fighting Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists are the victims of non-Muslims, what are we to make of Muslims fighting other Muslims in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq? Religious civil wars make it hard to believe that Muslims are the victims of other religions instead of the authors of their own violence.

Religions have a long history of not getting along with one another, but there is only one religion that has never gotten along with any other religion, is engaging in a religious war with every religion that exists, with atheists who have no religion, and even with its own co-religionists.

Is all this violence someone else’s fault? Or is it Islam’s fault?

Muslim hostility to Christians and Jews is not a phenomenon that began with the modern State of Israel or American foreign policy.

Muslims have warred with Christians and Jews as minorities and persecuted them as majorities. Academic apologists claim that Muslim hostility toward Christians derived from an ongoing conflict, but at no time during the history of Islam until the twentieth century did the Jews have a functioning state.

Israel has conveniently become the focus and explanation for Muslim hostility toward Jews, but that fails to explain over a thousand years of Muslim hatred and persecution … long before Herzl or the IDF.

Why did Muslims persecute and kill Jews long before Zionism was even a word? For the same reason that they killed Christians.

Islam hated Judaism and Christianity from the start. The Koran urges Muslims not to befriend Jews or Christians (Koran 5:51) speaks of “enmity and hatred” with Christians (Koran 5:15) and the Jews (Koran 5:65) who are also to be cursed. The Jews are accused of “creating disorder” (Koran 5:65) and Christians are accused of worshiping their priests (Koran 9:31). The Jews and Christians believe in evil things (Koran 4:52) and Allah’s curse will be upon them (Koran 9:30).

Shaima Alwadi

Shaima Alwadi was a Muslim woman who was murdered in California
two years ago. Muslims seemed to care a lot about her right up until
they learned that she had actually been the victim of an honor killing
at the hands of her husband. Then they didn’t seem to care much at all.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

A broken family’s screams erupted in a San Diego courtroom after a guilty verdict was announced in the trial of an Iraqi immigrant who killed his wife.

As the defendant cried out in Arabic “not guilty,” his mother-in-law flailed her arms, screaming “you killed my daughter,” while his two teenage sons chose opposing sides.

British burglar, 58, breaks out of prison to escape incessant hip-hop music

<you know it's bad when a prisoner can't stand American ghetto music

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

He couldn't take the rap!

A British burglar broke out of jail to escape the incessant hip-hop music being blasted in his wing.

Robert Stevens, 58, just couldn't stand having to listen to Eminem, Jay Z and Kanye West being played over and over again.

So he climbed over a security wall at the minimum security HMP Leyhill prison, in south Gloucestershire, and fled.

The fugitive, serving six-and-a-half years for commercial robberies in the area, then spent 20 days at large.

He was finally caught while visiting a betting shop on Mar. 29, reports the South Cotswolds Gazette.

"He was in a very noisy wing where rap music was being played day and night," his defense lawyer Jamie Porter told Dorchester Crown Court.

"He was also being constantly pestered to purchase drugs by younger cellmates. Stevens has apologized for his behavior. It was an impulsive act on his part," he added.

Judge Roger Jarvis sentenced Stevens to an extra 10 months behind bars.
