No, the green light, right . The classic green light. So anyway, im here to discuss one the critical questions, i think, of our times which is why the United States assumed the role of world defender after world war ii . The question of whether we must continue this role indefinitely. Now this conversation springs from my new book which i hope is available outside but also from an oped that i wrote for the New York Times last year with the title, come home america. This was subsequently the subject of a morning joe show on the same subject. In the essay, i observed that everybody talks about getting out of iraq and afghanistan but what about germany and japan . In essence what im trying to raise here is a very fund amentl question which is where do we go from here. Do we need to consider more basic changes in American Foreign policy at this turning point in our own national history. Because i think in many ways for me, im a historian that our nation suffers from a lack of historical se
His nonfiction work includes no god but god, beyond fundamentalism in his most recent release. Where does the phrase no god but god comgod butgod come from . Guest its the first halfn, of the muslim profession of god faith called the shahadad and mohammed is gods messenger. It is essentially the phrasefai. That initiates a convert into the muslim faith. A c host you also write in the book though god but god howith islam can be available to all muslims and every muslim canllms speak. Musl guest its a strange phenomenon because it is what i referred to earlier as is gone though it is not a priestly religion, it has it is more like the pinnacle in a sense that there are a whole host of different schools of law and interpretations a have certain individuals who because of a lifetime of learning have achieved a level of knowledge that allow them to speak authoritatively about islamic theology and islamic jurisprudence but as with judaism those individuals dont have authority over one anothe
To work for the people of new york, but to represent more than the people of new york. He or she stands at this countrys front door. And right there in the Media Capital itself. And ever since i can remember, the mayor has been a major representative of this country, welcoming visitors, celebrated and not from around the world. We know their names well. We know them well. La guardia, john linsey, ed koch, rudy giuliani, mike bloomberg. They are household names, not just in this country, but in the world at large. So the question of who stands out there representing not just new yorkers, not just democrats in many cases, but us is a question worthy of debate. Tonight we have the frontrunner for the office of mayor of new york city, City Council Speaker christine quinn. Thank you, speaker quinn, for joining us. Its great to have you on the show. Thank you.

Apparently, it included content the PCTB deemed “detrimental for examination and assessment purposes or repugnant to the injunction of Islam or contrary to the integrity, defence or security of Pakistan, or any part of Pakistan or public order or morality” [sic].
Readers should keep in mind that obtaining an NOC has been a requirement de jure for private textbook publishers for years. However, the PCTB’s lack of capacity to review books and issue NOCs in a timely manner meant that this requirement remained de facto unenforced. But every now and then, when an influential perso
0 economy. the revenue increase would be a very short-term spike in the revenue that would be based on how the base was broadened. it would be revenue neutral, my understanding, in terms of the way details are worked out. it would be revenue neutral over the life of the reform. would you be interested in something like that? i get very concerned about a tax increase. that s the way i perceive it. now, even gene sperling, head of the white house national economic council said there were no details released in the president s plan today, so i want to see the meat on the bones. democrats are very quick to criticize paul ryan and others for not offering details. well, i would lob that same criticism back at the president today. let s hear some details on this, but do we need tax reform? of course, we re going to engage in that. probably going to happen in the fall. but i think the direction of the president, at least as he initially laid it out, i disagree with the policy, not the fact
