DUBAI — The organising committee of the local Quran Memorisation and Recitation Competition of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA) has announced that the finals of the local competition for male contestants will be held at the Islah Wal Tawjeeh Association and those for the female participants at the Dubai Women's Development Association. The participants at the meeting discussed the arrangements for the competition due to take place from next months when the preliminary phases of the contest begin at the level of the memorisation centres, then at the level of the zones until the finals take place in January next year.
Get cracking, kids!
Inmates of the Dubai prisons who are enrolled in the Memorisation project for prison inmates are allowed to take part in the local competition as well and the winners are rewarded by waiving periods of their jail terms depending on the number of chapters they memorise.
And if they memorize the whole thing they get an expense-paid trip to Fallujah! How 'bout that, kids?

I can't wait for the male / female finalist showdown.
Two people, including an absconder, were shot dead on Thursday evening over an old enmity in Allama Iqbal Town.
"Go fer yer guns, varmint!"
Iftikhar, alias Khara, had allegedly killed Muhammad Saeed in Ferozewala a few months ago and had fled. Police declared Iftikhar an absconder. On Thursday, Iftikhar and 60-year-old Muhammad Ali came to meet somebody at 196-Zeenat Block on a car where four rivals, including Saeed's father Muhammad Iqbal, alias Bala, opened fire on them. Iftikhar and Muhammad Ali received severe bullet wounds and died instantly.

LOL! A killer example of an unhinging troll... Ha - our pal NMM. Wonder if he's getting his PEST treatment. BTW, you still failed to ID the thread, you poof, lol! I'll go look again, lol!
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
