is Islam ?
What is
Islam? Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God
revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of
the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete
way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and
forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the
extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their
faith.What do Muslims believe? Muslims believe in One, Unique,
Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets
through whom His revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day
of Judgement and individual accountability for actions.

underworld
For years their existence in the mines was barely more than a
rumor. The early signs of their presence for legitimate miners

miners in
South Africa are suspected of stealing gold worth about $400
million a year.

Jamaica is the best place in the

widespread practice of criminals collecting "taxes" from taxi
drivers and other commercial road users who travel through some of
the tough inner-city communities. The proceeds gained from these
criminal activities are part of a multi-billion dollar industry.

Types of
White Collar Crime.Within the field of criminology, white-collar crime or
'incorporated governance' has been defined by Edwin Sutherland as
"a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social

computer crime, and forgery is more available to white-collar
employees.
