WISH YOU A HAPPY EID AL-ADHA
DHAMAKA NEWS BUREAU
Eid al-Adha is a great and unique occasion of joy and celebration. Ironically, this joy and celebration revolve around sacrifice. It would probably make sense to only those who understand that the joy of giving that touches others' lives is far greater and deeper than the joy of receiving. This great occasion of Eid al-Ad'ha is tied to an unique event, the Hajj; a unique city, Makkah; and a unique family, the family of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Indeed, what the Quran refers to the Milla of Ibrahim is essentially rooted in the legacy of a model family. Say: "God speaks the Truth: follow the Milla of Ibrahim, the True in Faith; he was not of the Pagans."

NEW VIRUS INFECTS PCS, WHACKS SCO
 By ROBERT LEMOS / New York
A mass-mailing virus quickly spread through the Internet on Monday, compromising computers so that they attack the SCO Group's Web server with a flood of data on Feb. 1, according to antivirus companies. The virus--known as MyDoom, Novarg and as a variant of the Mimail virus by different antivirus companies, arrives in an in-box with one of several different random subject lines, such as "Mail Delivery System," "Test" or "Mail Transaction Failed." The body of the e-mail contains an executable file and a statement such as: "The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment."

SEX SLAVE JIHAD - AN ATTITUDE
 By DONNA M HUGHES / Washington
A measure of Islamic fundamentalists success in controlling society is the depth and totality with which they suppress the freedom and rights of women. In Iran for 25 years, the ruling mullahs have enforced humiliating and sadistic rules and punishments on women and girls, enslaving them in a gender apartheid system of segregation, forced veiling, second-class status, lashing, and stoning to death.

THE ABSURDITY OF EGALITARIANISM
 By JOHN KEKES / Singapore
Egalitarians believe that inequality is unjust and justice requires a society to move steadily toward greater equality. This is the aim and the justification of proportional taxation, affirmative action, equal opportunity programs, and of the whole panoply of anti-poverty policies that bring us ever closer to the socialist dream of a welfare state. These policies cost money. The egalitarian approach to getting it is to tax those who have more in order to benefit those who have less. The absurdity of this is that egalitarians suppose that justice requires ignoring whether people deserve what they have and whether they are responsible for what they lack. They suppose it just to ignore the requirements of justice.

THE 'BETA-BETI' BRIGADE
 By NEERJA CHOWDHURY / Mumbai
The fifth generation of the Nehru-Gandhi family has just taken the plunge into politics. With the announcement that both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have become primary members of the Congress party, it is now only a matter of working out the modalities of their involvement. The role they will play in the near future is not quite defined. Both could campaign in a couple of constituencies in Uttar Pradesh and hope for a ripple effect in the rest of the state. Priyanka has already declared that a storm will build up against the NDA from Amethi.
