Muslims' anger as London Olympics clash with Ramadan
Sorry, but the terrorist treats always come from this minority, so it´s no wonder muslims will always be more spied... But it´s not like every Muslim is living on a Big Brother, that´s a big exagerated. If a terrorist attack happens in your city, who would you think first? Hispanic? Black? Gipsy? Germans?

Muslims' anger as London Olympics clash with Ramadan
Well, but most of these woman are miserable properties to their husband/father, it´s not like they have any right to have a voice or an opinion and I wouldn´t blame them. It´s sad that this is becoming so normal in ocidental countries, because the bigger the muslim population get, the more strict they become to their rules.

Muslims' anger as London Olympics clash with Ramadan
Well, as far as I know the christian and jewish religion also have comandaments not to work at a certain day of the week... for some it´s Sunday, for others it´s Saturday, but you don´t see the big events giving a damn about that. It´s not like muslims will die if they eat something on Ramadan... The Olympics started in the western world, so if easterns want to take part, its them who have to adapt themselves to it, and not the event adapt to them. Plus, the islamic rules don´t allow people to wear some type of clothes, specially the ones that are used for swimming, so if their religion is not compatible with the event rules, they should simply not take part.

Muslims' anger as London Olympics clash with Ramadan
Well, there´s an easy way out for Muslims to solve this problem: not participate. But I´m thinking the games ´will have a date change, because I think some people in the islamic world would have a more "explosive" reaction...

Album sales expected to lift in run up to Xmas
No chance of Faithless getting their 3rd straight # 1 album, so. But still, even if it just scrapes in the Top 10 there will be huge sales in this period. I hope radio picks their new song and they promote it better then Basement Jaxx.

Album sales expected to lift in run up to Xmas
LOVED the comment on Justin and Beyonce underperforming, but they should have mentioned Christina too, since she is selling even less then Justin, and was expected to sell more.

Irish album chart placings
I remember Amarantine did do so well there... It was #14 or something like that, and I found interesting because she was Top 5 in so many countries and selling millions, but didn´t seem so popular in her native country, when for other artists it seems to be the other way round. She is quite a reservate person, that´s why she is not so famous there. I heard she lives in a castle near Bono Vox.

How did you discover Enya?
I don´t remember exactly when did I discover her, because to me she always seemed like one of these things everybody knew... Even tough her face is unknown to most, her music is played on commercials, soundtracks, documentaries, etc... On my school it was frequently used on dance performances from the girls, and stuff like that, anything who needed a background track had Enya on it. And it´s a stuff everyone knows, I have friends who know/listen pretty much nothing of popular music and they know Enya. And she is quite a legendary figure for the mistery around her... I remember some time ago everyone was sayng she died in a car crash and the label was tryng to hide this from the public, and still today there are people who insist she is actually dead. Then there are the talks that Enya is not actually a woman but a group of people. And most frequently people use to relate her to some mystical sects, and I have also been told by a friend that she was kind of a leader of a group who wants to bring back the ancient paganism to the world by making brainwash with their music. I don´t believe any of this stuff but it´s fun reading about that, and Enya herself must laugh a lot at all these mistery atmosphere.

Who should have had a UK #1 single by now?
Dido She has 17 weeks at # 1 in the albums chart, but not one week in the singles chart, except as a guest on Eminem´s stan, she could have done it also as a guest on Faithless´ One Step Too Far which was fightinh for the #1 on the midweeks but got deleted after 2 days on sale, because the label wanted Gareth Gates to spend more time at # 1... White Flag nearly made it cause it sold 70,000+ copies on the first week, but it was kept off by BEP´s Where Is The Love, which ended up becoming the biggest selling single of 2003... such bad luck.

what other music do Enya fans listen?
What type of music and which artists does people who listen to Enya enjoy, besides Enya herself of course??? I was wondering if you listen to other new age artists and which new age classics... So far, I remember a few songs that relate to Enya´s style somehow: El bosco - Nirvana Era - Divano Era - Ameno What do you think?

Add Rottweilers to dangerous dog list?
Yes, I seriously think all these type of dogs should be banned from the streets and from houses that are habitated by children. I hate it when I´m walking in the street and there comes someone with one of these dogs, generally without any protection, the dogs starts barking and you can clearly see that the dog is stronger then his owner, and you have to cross the street. Specially when it´s a woman who is the owner, and she strugles to hold the dog. Of course everyone will say these dogs are amazing and lovely when they are well educated and have sensible owners, but who cares? They are animals and you can´t expect rationality from them. All dogs are completely lovely just until they make their first attack. Here in my city one of these dogs just ate a 10 years old kid, and then the owner just said "oooh, I´m so shocked, he used to be so lovely and educated...".
