US Congressman Resigns In Internet Sex Scandal
June 16, 2011
U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner is resigning from the House of Representatives after an Internet sex scandal.
He apologized for what he called "personal mistakes" and for the embarrassment he caused.
Weiner has admitted to exchanging explicit photographs and messages with six women during the past three years.
Weiner said he never met any of the women he corresponded with online and by phone and that he was not sure of their ages. One woman who has spoken out about her online relationship with Weiner is a former porn star. The congressman also corresponded with a 17-year-old girl, but local authorities found nothing inappropriate in those exchanges. Source
Early Islamic history is full of examples to follow. Most of Muslims do not seem to follow these examples.
Can Pakistanis follow the example of the west at least? Our leaders are involved in more heinous crime then this congressman. Some of them are proud for their crimes. And our Jahil Awam is always ready to vote them!!

sorry, i was just pissed off. I cant tolerate when members with waving American flag, come here to criticize Pakistan. Our public come out on streets to protest for real issues but so called civilized nation starts riots just because they lost a bloody sports match...and then 'modern' Pakistani-Americans come on this forum to criticize Pakistan.

Youth Guard Library of Alexandria During Egyptian Protests
While protests rage in Egypt, the countrys youth have banded together to protect the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, according to The Guardian. Imagine a country where people want to loot a library and its the young people who organize themselves to protect this historic building and its millions of books. It says a lot about the value they place on knowledge and literature.
The Bibliotheca Alexandrinawhich can shelve 8 million books and holds, and among other facilities holds a planetarium, four museums, and a manuscript-restoration laboratorywas inaugurated on October 16, 2002. However, this expansive cultural center stems from the rich legacy of the Royal Library of Alexandra, also called the Ancient Library of Alexandria.
In 331 BC, the Greek king Alexander the Great founded the small town of Alexandria along the shores of the Mediterranean. It became an incredibly important city, and for almost a thousand years Alexandria was Egypts capitol. The library was founded by Demetrius of Phaleron in 3rd century BC, during the Ptolemiac dynasty. Demetrius of Phaleron was an Athenian who was forced to flee to Alexandria because the citizens viewed him as a pro-Macedonian pawn and then Demetrius I of Macedon came to power and, ironically, forced him out. When he had lived in Athens, Demetrius of Phaleron was friends with the dramatist Menander and when he moved to Alexandria, Demetrius himself began to write prolifically. Among his writing subjects was literary criticism. Alexandria at that time was run by the Macedonian general Ptolemy I Soter. This Greek rule of Alexandria perhaps allowed Demetrius of Phaleron to establish the Ancient Library of Alexandria, which he built in the style of the Greek philosopher Aristotles educational institution The Lyceum.
Demetrius of Phaleron Ancient Library of Alexandria did more to further world knowledge and cultural understanding than any other library in the world, according to research, because, unlike most libraries, the Ancient Library of Alexandria specifically sought out books from other parts of the world. Book publishers today are always talking paper availability and price, but back in ancient times Egypt was one of the few countries that could easily reproduce documents because of its access to papyrus. The Library pulled books off of boats that docked along the Mediterranean and made copies of their manuscripts. Furthermore, the libraries attended book fairs in Greece and collected new books. Ptolemy III Euergetes paid a huge sum of money for The Library to borrow (he never actually returned them) from Greece the original manuscripts of Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles.
Unfortunately, Julius Caesar burned the library down in 48 BC. It wasnt until 2002 that Alexandria finally opened Bibliotheca Alexandrina to stand in for the Ancient Library of Alexandria. Today, in the wake of violent conflict in Egypt, Bibliotheca Alexandrina stands another day because the youth of the country want it to.
Ismail Serageldin, director of the Bibliotheca Alexandria, posted this statement on January 30, 2011, to the main page of the librarys website:

Events deteriorated as lawless bands of thugs, and maybe agents provocateurs, appeared and looting began. The young people organized themselves into groups that directed traffic, protected neighborhoods and guarded public buildings of value such as the Egyptian Museum and the Library of Alexandria. The library is safe thanks to Egypts youth, whether they be the staff of the Library or the representatives of the demonstrators, who are joining us in guarding the building from potential vandals and looters.
It is said that the following words were carved into a wall at the Ancient Library of Alexandria:
