Nose job earns Egyptian politician the bootBy Amir Ahmed, CNN A lie and a nose job may cost an Egyptian politician his spot in parliament. Anwar al-Bilkimy, a newly elected legislator, was forced to resign from the ultra-conservative al-Nour Party after lying about having plastic surgery, Ahmed Khalil, a party spokesman said late Monday. Black and blue from his rhinoplasty, al-Bilkimy told parliamentarians that his face was bandaged because gunmen attacked him after he refused to get out of his car, Khalil said. Suspicious, the al-Nour Party, who's hardline creed forbids plastic surgeries, formed a committee to investigate his story and found out that he had lied, a party statement said.

Witam czy ktoś może polecić tanią wypożyczalnie samochodów w Warszawie ? Patrzyłem w google – lista dośc długa , a ceny troszke wysokie. Interesuje mnie średniej klasy samochód w cenie do 100 zł za dobę.
I think this is one of the disadvantages of being a politician, your actions is not just bounded by political decorum but religious norms as well. I guess you can found ordinary guy who had rhinoplasty or nose job but left unpunished.
Cheers!

Prayer changes things.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs!
Studies cited have been proven false, for honest studies , study God in prayer.
sorry i had to
How did this get a spot on CNN? Maybe I should go and disfigure myself so that I can find myself on the headlines in CNN.
What happened to the surgeon who did the nose job?
Must be a very honest system of governance that penalized someone over their nose job.
No corruption with the highest ethical values, eh? 😉
his jewels were removed using plastic surgery.
Both "good" and "evil" are part of human nature and happen regardless of which religion one clams, if any. Hypocritical politicians pandering to the crowds are everywhere.
So religious fanatic rules cost the guy his job... Well, that's not so bad compared to a "Christian" sect in my state (Oregon), which will let their children die of curable diseases because they "don't believe" in doctors. Some of the parents have gone to jail for that... and yet the parents themselves go to eye doctors and dentists.
ah yes...true religious politics...this will be us one day if someone doesn't stop the sh!t –
A foreign politician does something in private that goes directly against the publicly avowed values that he used to get elected and then lies about it? Can you imagine?
Could never happen here, the land of gay bashing closet gays and abstinence promoting philanderers!
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Ted Haggard?
All credit to him, although I can't fathom what this has to do with religion or belief.
Becuase his religion has a proscription against mody modification. He obviously knew he was flaunting the tenets of his publically avowed religion since he felt compelled to lie about it.
It would be like if Rick Santorum started showing off a star and crescent tattoo...
It's a bleeding shame he wasn't lashed several thousand times by Thor with a claw-hammer for this transgression against the almighty and his twelve toes of wisdom.

Until the other comes; and this one fails
When that one triumphs; ay, the lonesome world
Will always want the latest fairy tales."

Humanity follows two world-wide sects:
One, man intelligent without religion,

It's not his nose job, but his lying about it, that cost him his job. The difference is quite important.
Now, if all lying politicians could get the boot...
If THAT happened, every American embas.sy would be empty, the Capitol building would be a vacant derelict of days gone by, the White House would be turned into apartments, and the city of Washington would be a village instead of a metropoltian area.

I'm beginning to understand where you learned your intolerance and aversion to facts.
Beg to differ, Doc. That troll never learned a thing in its life.
I vote we just start calling him Cap'n Sayin. Has a certain ring to it, Doc.
Prayer changes things
Do you really think anyone cares about these posts, captain fraud?
Prayer is talking with God, I care.
You only care because you're the one posting, jitbag.
