On HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher raised a question about xenophobia in relation to Britain’s “Brexit” vote this week: “Is it really phobia if you have something to be afraid of.”

Family pleads with Taliban to 'show mercy' and release Canadian man, American wife held in Afghanistan

STEWARTSTOWN, Pa. -- The family of an American woman reported missing in Afghanistan in 2012 with her Canadian husband said they got a letter from their daughter in the last year, and they pleaded for mercy from the couple's captors.
Caitlan Coleman and Joshua Boyle lost touch with their families while travelling in a mountainous region near the Afghan capital, Kabul. Her parents, Jim and Lyn Coleman, told online news service Circa News that they received a letter from her in November 2015. It will be four years this July 4 on Monday that Caitlan's family last saw her and her husband.
"I pray to hear from you again, to hear how everybody is doing," the letter said.
Addressing Caitlan Coleman's younger sister Claire directly, the letter continued, "Give my love to each member of the family, and share this letter with everyone. Claire, as silly as it sounds, I wish you were here with me. Mom, I'd love to hear about all your cooking in delicious detail."
Caitlan Coleman also wrote she'd given birth to a second child in captivity.
It was the first communication from her since her parents received two videos in 2013 in which the missing couple asked the U.S. government to free them from the Taliban.
The couple set off in the summer of 2012 for a journey that took them to Russia, the central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and then to Afghanistan. The Colemans last heard from their son-in-law on Oct. 8, 2012, from an Internet cafe in what Josh described as an "unsafe" part of Afghanistan.
Speaking to Circa News from their Pennsylvania home, Jim Coleman issued a direct plea to top Taliban commanders to let the couple go and to be "kind and merciful" as the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close.
"As a man, father and now grandfather, I am asking you to show mercy and release my daughter, her husband, and our beautiful grandchildren," Jim Coleman said. "Please grant them an opportunity to continue their lives with us, and bring peace to their families."
Lyn Coleman told Circa News: "I really need to see my grandsons. I imagine them all the time, I imagine them and Caity all the time. ... Every day is so hard, every day is so hard to get through."

Swedish music festivals hit by reports of rapes, assaults

HELSINKI -- Several dozen women reported being raped or sexually assaulted at two music festivals in Sweden last weekend, police said Tuesday.
Police Inspector Leif Nystrom said there had been 32 reports of attacks by boys or young men at a three-day festival in the city of Karlstad, 300 kilometres (190 miles) west of the capital, Stockholm. The youngest alleged victim was 12. Police identified seven young men they wanted to question.
Meanwhile in Norrkoping, police told local media that they that were investigating five cases of alleged rape and more than a dozen suspected sexual assaults at the Bravalla Festival in the city, southwest of Stockholm.
After playing in Norrkoping, British rock band Mumford & Sons posted a note on their Facebook site saying they were "appalled ... and gutted by these reports" of rape and sexual assault.
The band said Tuesday they would not play Bravalla again unless police and organizers could assure them that they are "doing something to combat what appears to be a disgustingly high rate of reported sexual violence."
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven described the situation as "totally unacceptable" and said that laws on sexual assault would be tightened.
"We are in the process of reviewing them," he said in a speech at a political seminar. "It's also important that we continue to ensure that police, prosecutors and other officials are better equipped to investigate such crimes and actually catch the perpetrators."
Nystrom told The Associated Press that Karlstad police have identified the perpetrators at the event in Karlstad but that no one had yet been detained. He declined to give details of the suspects or comment on reports that the offences were committed by migrants or foreigners, pending the outcome of the investigation.
He said the reports of sexual assault in Karlstad included groping but there were no reports of rape or attempted rape.
"We want to catch the suspects because we need to talk to them," he said. "The number of such cases has increased slightly since last year, but I'm really not sure if this is a common problem at festivals."
Earlier this year, Swedish police faced allegations of a cover-up for failing to inform the public of widespread sexual assaults against teenage girls at a music festival a year ago, which came to light in January when the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter reported them following a string of sexual assaults and robberies on New Year's Eve in Cologne, Germany.
In neighbouring Denmark, where the annual weeklong Roskilde rock festival attended by 130,000 people wound up on Sunday, police said they had reports of five cases of alleged rape or sexual assault, which police officer Carsten Andersen described as "nothing out of the ordinary at such a big event, although every single case is too much."

Muslim shopkeeper killed for wishing Christians a 'happy Easter'?

LONDON -- Scottish police say the killing of a Muslim shopkeeper who wished Christians a happy Easter is being investigated as "religiously prejudiced."
Vigils were held Friday and Saturday in memory of 40-year-old Asad Shah, who was killed Thursday night in Glasgow.
He had apparently posted messages on Facebook calling for religious harmony: "Good Friday and very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation x!"
Police say a 32-year-old man has been arrested in connection with Shah's death. The suspect, who police say is Muslim, has not been identified or charged.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon joined the Friday vigil in support of Shah and his family in Glasgow. Many lit candles and left flowers. Roughly 150 people also gathered in a light rain on Saturday to honour him, an event organized by local teens.
Police Scotland said that "a full investigation is under way to establish the full circumstances surrounding the death which is being treated as religiously prejudiced."

Man admits killing convenience store owner for 'disrespect' of Islam

LONDON -- A man has admitted to killing a fellow Muslim in Scotland because he felt he had disrespected Islam.
Shopkeeper Asad Shah was stabbed and beaten in March at his convenience store in Glasgow.
Police said the slaying was "religiously prejudiced." Shah was a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, a minority sect which differs from mainstream Islam in that it doesn't regard Muhammad as the final prophet.
Suspect Tanveer Ahmed, from Bradford in northern England, pleaded guilty during a hearing at Glasgow's High Court on Thursday.
Prosecutors said that when 32-year-old Ahmed was interviewed by police, he said his actions were motivated by Shah's "disrespect (for) the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad, Allah and faith."
Ahmed will be sentenced Aug. 9. Judge Rita Rae said "this was a truly despicable crime."

Pakistani model killed after offending conservatives

ISLAMABAD -- Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch, who recently stirred controversy by posting pictures of herself with a prominent Muslim cleric, was strangled to death by her brother, police said Saturday.
Her parents told police one of her six brothers strangled her to death as she slept in the family's home in Multan, police spokeswoman Nabila Ghazanfar told The Associated Press.
Multan police chief Akram Azhar said police were searching for the brother, identified by the family as Waseem Azeem, who runs a local cellular phone shop.
"Apparently the lady died of suffocation but final opinion on her death would be possible only after report of chemical examination comes," said Dr. Mushtaq Ahmed, who was among the team that conducted Baloch's autopsy. "She might have been given some poisonous substance before being strangled."
Baloch, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, shot to fame and notoriety with a series of social media postings that would be tame by Western standards but were deeply scandalous by conservative Pakistani societal norms. She cultivated an outrageous public persona, recently promising to perform a public striptease if the Pakistani cricket team won a major tournament.
Baloch built up a large social media fanbase, with 40,000 Twitter followers and more than 700,000 followers on her official Facebook page. Baloch danced in a racy (again by Pakistani standards) video for a popular rap song that immediately went viral. In postings and public comments, she presented herself as a symbol of female empowerment in a country where domestic violence is commonplace and hundreds of women are murdered by family members each year in so-called honour killings.
On Friday, the day she was killed, she posted a picture with the message, "No Matter how many times i will be pushed down under,,But I m Fighter I will Bounce back..
On July 14, she posted the following: "As a women we must stand up for ourselves..As a women we must stand up for each other...As a women we must stand up for justice. I believe I am a modern day feminist. I believe in equality. I need not to choose what type of women should be. I don't think there is any need to label ourselves just for sake of society. I am just a women with free thoughts free mindset and I LOVE THE WAY I AM. "
Most recently, Baloch became embroiled in public scandal when she posted selfies with Mufti Adbul Qavi, a prominent cleric, in a Karachi hotel room during the holy Islamic month of Ramadan. In one picture, she is wearing the cleric's trademark fur-lined hat.
Qavi maintained that he only met with her to discuss the teachings of Islam. But the government suspended Qavi and removed him from the official moon-sighting committee that determines when Ramadan starts and ends in accordance with the Islamic lunar calendar.
In the wake of that scandal, Baloch said she had received death threats and asked for Interior Ministry protection.

Indian police say men gang-raped Israeli tourist in car

NEW DELHI -- Police were questioning two men Monday in the gang rape of a 25-year-old Israeli tourist who accepted a car ride while travelling in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
The woman, who had been looking for a taxi, got into the car in the hill resort of Manali before dawn Sunday to travel to a nearby town, said Padam Chand, a police superintendent in Manali.
There were six men in the car and two of them raped the tourist after stopping at a desolate spot, he said.
Two of the men were in police custody and a search was on for the other four. Chand said the men would be arrested if police found evidence that they were the ones involved in the gang rape.
"Arresting the four men who are absconding is our topmost priority. We have alerted police in all nearby districts," Chand told reporters late Monday.
Five of the men are Indian and the sixth is Nepali, he said. All are in their early 20s, Chand said, adding that police had impounded the car used in the assault.
Manali police were in touch with officials at the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi and were keeping them informed about the progress in the investigation.
The picturesque hill resorts of Himachal Pradesh are very popular with young Israelis who travel in India after their military service, despite concerns about the safety of women.
In 2012, an Australian tourist was raped in Kullu valley, also in Himachal Pradesh. The next year, an American woman was gang raped by three men in Manali when she took a ride with them in a truck.
Reports of rapes of women highlight the persistence of such violence in India despite a public outcry following the fatal gang rape of a young woman in moving bus in New Delhi in 2012.
Public fury over that case led to more stringent laws that doubled prison terms for rape to 20 years and criminalized voyeurism and stalking. But many women say daily indignities and abuse continue unabated and that the new laws have not made the streets any safer.

Nudist bathers threatened by gang of men who shouted 'Allahu akbar'

A group of six young Muslim men reportedly burst into a nudist swimming pool in Germany and threatened the patrons, spit on the children and called the women "****s."
The men were described as in their mid-20s, wearing full beards. The swimmers said they yelled "Allahu akbar," called them "infidels" and shouted insults.
One woman said she was told: "We (German) women are all ****s and they would exterminate all of us," she told Junge Freiheit.
They shouted in Arabic, the swimmers said, but also in perfect German, leading them to believe they weren't newly arrived refugees but rather born in the country.
Staff at the Freibad Xantener Südsee, near the town of Wesel, said they were forced to call the police.
The men left before police arrived, however, and reportedly went to a nearby waterskiing facility where they continued to abuse patrons.
Police are investigating.

Shopkeeper allegedly chops off poor couple's heads for not repaying 29-cent debt

LUCKNOW, India -- Police arrested a shopkeeper for axing to death a couple from a lower caste for not promptly paying a meagre debt of 15 rupees (29 cents) for groceries, an official said Friday.
District Magistrate Pramod Chandra Gupta said the upper caste shopkeeper killed the couple in a rage Thursday, severing both their heads, when they asked for more time to pay for the groceries they bought from his shop in Mainpuri, a town in Uttar Pradesh state.
The Dalit couple were construction workers and left behind five children, Gupta said.
"The shopkeeper panicked after killing the couple and hid in the village. But he was arrested," he said. The shopkeeper is from the Brahmin caste. Formal charges in the killings would be filed after the police investigation is completed.
Mainpuri is 300 kilometres (185 miles) southwest of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh state.
Attacks against Muslims and Dalits have risen since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu-nationalist party came to power two years ago.
Four low-caste Dalit community men were beaten by Hindu hardliners while trying to skin a dead cow in western India earlier this week. Hindus consider cows to be sacred, and the slaughter of cows is banned in many parts of India. Slaughtering a cow carries a punishment of up to seven years in jail.
The Dalit protests have turned violent in some towns. In western Gujarat state's Amreli district, a police constable was killed when angry mobs pelted police with stones.
Although caste discrimination was banned soon after India's independence from Britain in 1947, the practice persists. Successive governments have set quotas for jobs and university spots to level out disadvantages faced by lower castes, but it has been difficult to change social attitudes.

Prosecutors: Man massaged woman's genitals aboard flight

NEWARK, N.J. -- Federal prosecutors say a man from India improperly touched a sleeping woman aboard a flight from Los Angeles to New Jersey.
Veerabhadrarao Kunam is charged with abusive sexual contact. He made his initial court appearance Monday and was freed on a $50,000 bond.
The 58-year-old resident of Visakhapatnam, India, was arrested Saturday after the flight arrived in Newark.
Prosecutors say Kunam was seated next to a woman who occupied a middle seat on the Virgin America flight. They say Kunam didn't know the woman.
Prosecutors say the woman awoke to find Kunam massaging her genitals and rubbing his bare feet against hers. The woman alerted her male travel companion, who confronted Kunam.
Kunam allegedly offered to buy the man a drink. But he declined and reported the incident to a flight crew member.
Kunam's lawyer, Alexander Spiro, declined comment Tuesday.

Porn star Candy Charms travels to Iran to get nose job: Official

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Apparently unaware she could face a death sentence, a British porn actress says she flew to Iran to undergo a nose job and later wrote online about it, immediately sparking a social media outcry in the largely conservative Islamic Republic.
The buxom performer, known by the stage name Candy Charms, posted a photograph on Instagram several days ago showing her in the back of a car, her eyes hidden behind sunglasses with a scarf partially covering her blond hair.
"Hey guys I have been on holiday in Tehran," she wrote online. She later added: "My nose was not straight and they are the best in the world in nose surgery. I had my nose done."
Iran is one of the top countries in the world for undergoing rhinoplasty, with more than 20,000 surgeries carried out each year.
The actress deleted the Instagram post and her account following a torrent of comments from Iranians, some friendly and others hostile. On Tuesday, the semi-official ISNA news agency quoted Hasan Qashqavi, a deputy foreign minister in charge of consular affairs, as saying a British-American actress visited Iran after she "applied for a visa through a travel agency" under a different name.
While not naming the actress, the story implied it was the adult film performer. An ISNA report Monday suggested she listed her occupation as a "hair stylist" on her visa application form.
Qashqavi was quoted by ISNA as telling tourism companies and officials to carefully examine the documents of those trying to visit Iran.
"We have clerics and lawmakers who have cultural sensitivities and these sorts of events may cause problems later," Qashqavi said.
That may be a bit of an understatement in the Shiite power. Under Iranian law, spreading corruption via broadcast carries a possible death sentence. Pornography likely would fall under the law's purview.
It's unclear whether the actress knew the risk before she made the trip. She did not respond to a request for comment made via Twitter by The Associated Press and an email address listed on her website bounced back as undeliverable.
Associated Press writer Nasser Karimi in Tehran, Iran, contributed to this report.

Father, ex-husband arrested in U.K.-Pakistani woman’s 'honour killing'

ISLAMABAD — Pakistani police have arrested the father and ex-husband of a British woman of Pakistani origin who was killed last month in what authorities suspect was an “honour killing,” a top investigator said Monday.
Samia Shahid’s family buried her, claiming she had died of natural causes. But after her husband raised the alarm, the police reopened the case and later concluded the 28-year-old was strangled to death.
Abu Bakar Khuda Bux, the investigator heading the team, told The Associated Press that the woman’s father, Mohammad Shahid, and her former husband, Mohammad Shakeel, were prime suspects in the case.
The two were formally arrested on Sunday, although the police have been questioning them for several days, Bux said.
“All the evidence we have is leading to their involvement in the murder,” he said. “We are collecting more evidence before we sent the case to court.”
After her death, Shahid’s second husband, Mukhtar Kazim, accused the family of luring her back to Pakistan from Dubai, where the couple lived, on the pretext of her father’s illness. His statements prompted the investigation and Pakistani police eventually declared the case a murder.
According to two police officers, the ex-husband has confessed to the killing and has described to his interrogators how he used his ex-wife’s scarf to strangle her. The officers, who are involved in the probe, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the details with the media before the case goes to court.
Bux declined to comment on the purported confessions, saying the investigation is not yet finished.
After she married the first time, Shahid lived in Pakistan for a brief period before moving back to England where she got a divorce in 2014. Her family had lived Bradford since 1950s.
Pakistan reports nearly 1,000 so-called “honour killings” every year.
This photograph taken on July 28, 2016 shows Mukhtar Kazam, the husband of late British woman Samia Shahid, as he displays her post-mortem report during a press conference in Rawalpindi.

In my opinion, you cannot force people to adapt or change, and the bit&^ch is that is never works. But the world cannot turn away from the atrocities of the Middle East, nobody that watched that 5 years boy in the ambulance in Aleppo believes we are doing a good job. ISIS needs to be removed from the face of the earth, and the world should have gone in a long time ago, boots on the ground and taken them out. How many countries have been in the fight so far; that would be how many soldiers? The people of Syria are the way they are and should have the right to remain as such, but in peace. Families get into unsafe rubber boat with their kids for a reason; they are desperate and don't need the world to send their jets and bomb their homes, school, and hospitals and terrorize their kids. Go in and do your job, or get out.
