RTw  08/26 0526  INDIA SAYS TAMIL INSURGENTS TRAINED IN SRI LANKA

    MADRAS, India, Aug 26, Reuter - India on  Wednesday  formally
charged  32  people, including four Sri Lankan Tamil separatists,
with fomenting insurgency in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
    The charges were filed before a judge in Madras, the  capital
of  Tamil Nadu, by a special investigating team of the state pol-
ice.
    They said the four Sri Lankans,  members  of  the  separatist
Liberation  Tigers  of Tamil Eelam and believed to be in northern
Sri Lanka, had helped form the Tamil Nadu Retrieval Force (TNRF),
a militia which would launch an armed insurgency.
    "They were planning to kill government and police officers in
a  bid to terrorise the population and overawe the state authori-
[text lost in transmission]
set up to hear the case.
    Twenty of the 28 TNRF members were in custody, he  said.  The
court  declared  the  other  eight  and the four Sri Lankans pro-
claimed offenders and issued warrants for their arrest.
    India has previously accused the Tigers of training rebels in
Tamil  Nadu,  but  it  was  the  first time specific charges were
brought against members of the militia.
    The Tigers are fighting for an independent state in north and
east  Sri  Lanka,  which is separated from Tamil Nadu by a narrow
strait.
    The Indian state, which is home to India's 60 million Tamils,
was  used  by  the  Tigers  as  a base for several years. But the
government cracked down on the Sri Lankan rebels last year  after
they  were  accused  of assassinating former prime minister Rajiv
Gandhi.
    Velupillai Prabhakaran, the Tiger chief, and his intelligence
chief  Pottu  Amman have been charged with plotting Gandhi's kil-
ling in May 1991 in a town near Madras.

    Indian and Sri Lankan Tamils speak the same language.  Tamils
are  thought  to  have  migrated  from India to Tamil Nadu in the
sixth century.

Hi,
    My girlfriend has challenged me to find the meaning of these 2 phrases
which I suspect may be some form of Arabic, but she won't even give me the
origin.  Can anyone out there please help me out?  The phrases are:

ken hab-buk'    and     ah-ten'-i bu'-sah

the spellings are my mangled phoneticisms of her mangled pronunciation, so
please forgive me.  I imagine these phrases are likely to be slightly erotic
in nature (I suspect the ah-ten'-i bu'-sah of having to do with kissing.)

Anyway, if you can help I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Marc

I'm not sure about the rest of the readers of the group but I find this article
strange and confusing. Could it be because I'm not a Moslem? I dunno but I
find it hard to believe that some of the pronouncements quoted here 
represent the teachings of Islam.

I just hope they will stop trying to explain their past reluctance to help
the Somalians and start sending food aid there.

Actually, from the 3rd Islamic century onward, there is a lot of
writing on the question whether Black Africans are truly capable of
being true believers and on the question of mistreating Black African
Muslims.  The many condemnations of anti-Black prejudice implies that
anti-Black prejudice has been quite prevalent in the Islamic world.
Such anti-Black prejudice is probably the source of anti-Black
prejudice in the West and may be related to the the principle of kafaa
in marriage which may be tied to ethnochauvinist concepts.

I have a question. I read classical Arabic (mostly mathematical and
philosophical texts) and travel quite widely in the Middle East. I think
it is about time I really got on top of some version of spoken Arabic.
The question is, which one?

The countries I regularly visit are Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine,
Morocco, Algieria, Tunisia, and Libya. Obviously, this covers a wide
spectrum of vernaculars. Which would be the best bet to choose? Which
would be most widely understood? Which would be most acceptable to
speakers of other vernaculars? You will understand that I am talking
about ordinary colloquial Arabic, not the standard Arabic of newspapers
and the other media.

I would be quite interested to hear what Arabic speakers think about the
different colloquial versions of the language. As I am sure you know, in
English, some dialects have a higher prestige than others; some are
regarded by outsiders as rather comical; others are virtually
incomprehensible to any who doesn't speak them (like my own - I
originate in the North East of England, and had to learn Standard
English almost as a second language!) Is this sort of thing true about
Arabic?

Thank you for the help!

I yet have to see a so-called "fundamentalist" who curses the
West for not getting involved in Bosnia.

Anybody who would be called fundmentalist in the West, including
myself, would pray that the West NOT get involved there.

By the way, please don't cofuse Muslim states with Muslims.  Most
Muslim states don't give a damn about their own population; why
should they care about Bosnia?

Same comment about Muslim states applies.

The West is.  But so are Muslims.  Make a visit to your
local mosque.   Pick up any Muslim magazine.   You'll see.

You mean under no moral obligation or under no legal obligation?
Muslims aren't under any legal obligation to help Somalis either.
