A One of a Kind Married Cheating Guide That Costs You NOTHING…But Teaches You EVERYTHING!

Why pay for something great when you can get it for free? That’s our motto here at (website name). We have an entire website with free information (seriously, it’s completely free…no hidden charges) on how to have an affair and we’re quite pleased to have you join us. So, first off…welcome! Ready to stop living a life of unfulfilled sexual fantasies and desires? Good! We can help!

More than 60% of men and women have an affair. Most are eventually caught. And nearly every time, the cheater gets caught because he/she doesn’t cover their tracks or is careless. That percentage is very misleading because tons of other guys WANT to cheat but never go through with it out of fear. Have you ever been caught cheating or not cheated out of fear of getting caught? Then you better check this out…

A Guide for Married Cheating: Where and How to Meet Attractive Men and Women…Without Getting Caught

Truth be told, there are only 3 places you should go to find a hookup (if you’re married)…

Yes, those are all affair websites. And, no, we didn’t forget that it’s possible to get laid in places that don’t exist online. Offline dating is for the single folks. If you’re married and using bars, churches, etc. to get laid…and you’re married…you might as well just tell your spouse about the affair. Online hookups are MUCH safer and more discreet (discussed here).

Actually, we need to clarify something. What we said is only partially true. Online hookups for married folks aren’t always safe. Most dating/hookup/affair websites are risky to use for married people because they aren’t secure. They either do not use discreet billing (the site name shows up on a credit card bill) or nearly everyone on the site are single (you’ll learn more about why we STRONGLY recommend hooking up with other married people on this site).

Fortunately, we do have plenty of information about 3 websites (listed above) that are COMPLETELY discreet and safe for married people to use. But that’s not the main purpose of our website. We’re here to help you have an affair and get away with it. We use risk-free methods for cheating. Your spouse won’t suspect a thing…ever…as long as you follow our cheating guide . In the guide, we go over everything about how to have an affair, including…

  • Affair dating website reviews and tips for having success on the top affair dating sites.
  • Choosing the right affair partner.
  • Attracting said potential affair partner online.
  • Setting up a date and times to hookup around your otherwise busy schedule.

Sad To Hear
A hiker dies in Kings Canyon- Sequoia National Park.

I'm sorry to report there was yet another national park death this week. This one was a bit closer to home, at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Kevin Trevor Rodriguez, 19, died of head injuries Monday after he fell 50-plus feet near Tokopah Falls, a popular day hike near the Lodgepole Visitor Center.

Rodriguez -- who was reported to be from the Malibu-Agoura area -- and a friend were scrambling on the rocks above the trail when the accident occurred, according to the National Park Service. Instead of climbing down the same way they came up, they tried to descend via an apparently easier route, albeit one with slippery rocks, and Rodriguez took a tumbling fall, landing in a pool below

My condolences to his friends and family.

I knew Kevin and he was a truly kind and amazing person. Accidents like this make you think about life and how things can change in an instant.

foot very early, and to judge from what I could hear,
neither men nor maids could do anything to please him.
--M. R. James, [2]The Haunted Dolls' House and Other

Most authors would prefer readers such as Roiphe over
captious academic critics.

26, 2000

With the imperturbablest bland clearness, he, for five
hours long, keeps answering the incessant volley of fiery
captious questions.

[1]The Record (Bergen County, NJ), June 9, 1996

And some cities are [2]eschewing the somniferous art museum
to invent newer, hipper institutions that honor our
fascination with contemporary culture: technology, space
flight, and even rock 'n' roll.
--Heidi Landecker, "Art Transplant," [3]Architecture, March

Filmed on location in England and using quotes from letters
and other documents of Pilgrim leaders, this video is rich
in detail and information. Its major drawback--and one that
may affect its effectiveness with its intended student
audience--is that it's as dull as dillweed, primarily due
to a somniferous narration.
--J. Carlson, "The Mayflower Pilgrims," [4]Video Librarian,
November 11, 1996

Somniferous comes from Latin somnifer, "sleep-bringing," from
somnus, "sleep" + ferre, "to bring."

It was not good enough to castigate him for his sins.

Out in the world they marvelled that they were found
acceptable to others, after years of being castigated as
unsatisfactory, disappointing.
--Anita Brookner, [2]Falling Slowly

Though castigated by the Catholic Church, illegitimacy was
scarcely an unusual feature of Austrian country life.
--Ian Kershaw, [3]Hitler: 1889-1936: Hubris

For my lack of missionary zeal, I have been castigated by a

me as a militant atheist intent on promoting worship of
unspecified "secular idols").

Continued front page 1344, Part 11

Gout (continued). The treatment of gout consists chiefly in attention to a hygienic mode of life. Temperate living, simple meals, moderate eating, the open-air life, and plenty of exercise are absolutely essential. Lack of attention to these points results in rapid progression of the disease. Baths are extremely useful to keep the skin active. A tepid or cold bath with brisk friction every morning, and an occasional Turkish bath, help the skin to eliminate waste matters from the blood. The patient should wear woollen underclothing, and avoid sudden alterations in temperature. Diet is of the greatest importance. All food should be reduced in quantity. Butcher's meat should be taken very sparingly, a small quantity once a day. Three simple meals a day, consisting of well-cooked, plain food, must be the rule. The best drink is an abundance of pure water, which helps the excretion of waste matters. Sweet wines and malt liquors must be given up, the least harmful alcoholic beverage being a little plain whisky or brandy and water. Mineral waters can be taken in any quantity, whilst the mineral waters of Buxton, Harrogate, and Bath are well suited for gouty people; but modified diet, early hours, systematic exercise out of doors, and regular bathing of the skin are measures which all gouty people can follow at home, and they are in themselves a very important part of the cure at all mineral springs.

During an acute attack, milk diet, consisting chiefly of milk and barley water, must be strictly enforced. Some of the dishes which should be avoided by gouty people are pastry, sweets, greasy foods, sugar, hot bread, and rich foods. Fresh vegetables and fruits, except bananas and strawberries, may be taken. Fish, chicken, and light diet generally are to be recommended, whilst recently doctors have been advising the restriction of salt with the foods, as it is said to favour the deposit of sodium, salt, and uric acid about the joints.

A purgative should be taken at the beginning of an attack and saline mineral waters twice a day. Medicinal treatment must be ordered by the physician, who will also advise sedative lotions for bathing the inflamed joints. The joint must be wrapped in cotton-wool and kept at rest.

Grey Hair. Premature greyness is very often associated with some general health condition, and whenever a woman finds that her hair is turning grey she should try to discover if there is any cause which she can deal with.

Neuralgia and frequent headaches of the nervous type encourage early greyness, and everyone knows that sudden, depressing emotion affects the colour of the hair. Over-work and worry, and even indigestion, by depressing the health, take away from the colour and vitality of the hair, causing the natural pigment to fade.

In many cases, also, some local condition, such as dandruff, is the real cause of the trouble, and the scalp should always be carefully examined, and any unhealthy condition treated at once. One sign that the hair is losing its vitality and colour is an unnatural dryness, the hair appears to become brittle and to split. Under such circumstances massage with a little olive oil, by nourishing the hair-bulbs, may prevent the hair turning grey.

Anaemia is a very common cause of premature greyness, the loss of colour being due to the poorly nourished condition of the scalp, with impoverished blood. In such cases a course of iron tonics will probably arrest the condition altogether, especially if a little bril-liantine or olive oil is used to counteract any dryness.

"Growing Pains" in children should never be neglected, as their presence suggests a rheumatic condition which, if untreated, may be the cause of serious heart disease. The subject was considered under the article on Children's Rheumatism (Page 510, Vol. L, Every Woman's Encyclopaedia). In most cases the wisest plan is to put the child to bed, and give milk diet; and, when the pains are at all severe, certain medicines are necessary, which must be prescribed by a doctor. The pains are caused by a rheumatic poison irritating the joints and the insertions of the muscles, and it is this same poison which causes an inflammation of the delicate valves of the heart, thus crippling the child's health seriously in after life.

Glims (Tender). Tenderness or sponginess of the gums is sometimes present in acute fevers, and it is a very marked feature of scurvy, a mild form of which may be caused by improper diet. An insufficient amount of fresh food, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, sometimes causes a scorbutic tendency in young children with tenderness of the gums and general debility. Attention to diet and the provision of plenty of fresh milk is called for.

When tenderness of the gums is due to defective teeth, these should be attended to at once. Tincture of myrrh and hot water, in the strength of a teaspoonful to half a pint, makes an excellent mouth wash for tender gums.

Habit Spasms. Amongst young children, certain spasmodic movements of the muscles of the face or limbs are fairly common. The child has a habit of twitching his eyelids and making peculiar grimaces or spasmodic movements of the arms. Perhaps the head is shaken, or the shoulders abruptly shrugged, and the spasm is repeated at regular intervals, and appears under any excitement or emotion. In nearly every case the child's general health is not very good. He may be out of sorts or growing too quickly, and sometimes there is a history of nervousness in the family. Under no circumstances should the child be nagged at, or constantly reproved and found fault with, as this simply increases his nervousness, and the habit becomes more marked. The best thing for such a child is to give him plenty of outdoor life, with simple diet and. regular sleep. Heavy lessons should not be permitted, and every effort must be made to get the child into a good state of health. Rhythmical physical culture exercises, such as have been described under the nursery section of the " Medical Book," will do a great deal to counteract these spasmodic muscular movements.

Habit spasms are often associated with adenoids, so that in every case the nose should be examined for any vegetation growths, which must, of course, be removed. Another common cause of spasms is eye defect, and sometimes the provision of glasses, to correct the error of refraction, is all that is necessary.

The glasses should in every case be prescribed by an oculist.

The stress of examination work will in all cases accentuate any habit spasms, and it is far better not to allow these children to overtax their brains by severe school work and competitive examinations. A quiet life, free from abnormal excitement, with a prolonged stay in the country, will have a wonderfully beneficial effect upon any bad cases. It is never wise to leave a child to "grow out" of any habit spasm without extra care and treatment, because the presence of any such condition indicates that the nervous and physical health is below par. A course of cod-liver oil should be given if the child shows such evidences of poor nutrition as excessive thinness, pallor, or lassitude. Simple, nourishing food is, of course, important

Hay-fever is a catarrh of the nose and eyes which comes on in summer or autumn. Certain people seem to be peculiarly susceptible to hay-fever, which is said to be due to the irritation of the mucous membrane of the nose and eyes by the pollen of flowers. The affection very often appears during the haymaking season, year after year. Those who suffer from hay-fever say that they cannot go within any distance of a hay-field without contracting this catarrhal affection, which is sometimes of a very depressing type. It may be ushered in by sneezing, which is followed by running of the eyes and nose, and all the symptoms of cold in the head. Sufferers from hay-fever try all sorts of things to prevent an attack. Quinine and iron are said to cut short an attack, and hay-fever may often be prevented by smearing the inside of the nostrils with carbolised vaseline or zinc ointment, which prevents the irritating pollen reaching the mucous membrane.

In cases of long-standing hay-fever the lining membrane of the nose seems to become affected, and cauterisation of the nose and respiratory passages will help the condition and may prevent further attacks. Douching with hot water at the beginning of an attack often cuts it short.

Sunday Dinners 2

Wow - summer is coming to an end. Labor day weekend has come and gone, and August has flown by. I feel the urge to get this grilling triumph down on the page before the summer comes to a close. We had some friends over for another Sunday dinner and made an amazing smoked brisket on the grill, twice-baked potatoes, a green salad with apples, candied pecans and shaved parmesan, and a small gratin of spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer.

You'll have to wait for the brisket since it requires much consultation with the grill-master for the exact recipe, but the rest of the meal was just as worthy. You can see our humble dining room above, just waiting for the onslaught of food and wine.

First, the appetizer...
The recipe for this Spinach-Artichoke dip can be found here. I make this often and it never disappoints. This is a picture before it bakes in the oven until bubbly. I think it tastes best on warmed pita bread or baguette slices. This can be made well in advance.

Next, the sides...
Twice Baked Potatoes

4 Russet baking potatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup sour cream
milk, maybe 1/2 cup
1 stick butter
fresh ground black pepper
kosher salt
2/3 cup grated white cheddar cheese

I found this combo to be really, really good. Of course, you can use whatever kind of cheese or cream cheese, etc, that you think makes a great mashed potato. I think the more herbs the better. Throw some blanched broccoli in with the mashed potatoes before baking, add a salad and this could be a hearty vegetarian meal.

Wash the potatoes and poke a few holes all over them with a knife. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 hour or until potatoes are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes.

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides to a large bowl, leaving a small amount behind to keep a nice shell to hold the mashed potatoes. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, herbs and seasoning to the cooked potato and mash thoroughly. Stir in the shredded cheese; taste and re-season.

Scoop some of the mashed potatoes into each potato skin and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese. These can be made up to this point well in advance, just bring to room temperature before continuing. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the potatoes are hot. Mixed Greens with Candied Pecans, Apples and Shaved Parmesan

3 cups washed lettuces (spring mix or baby lettuces)
1/2 cup whole pecan halves
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp butter
1 apple, fuji or something similar
large shavings of Parmeggiano Reggiano (or blue cheese if you prefer)

1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp dijon mustard
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp shallots, minced
1 tsp garlic, minced
fresh ground black pepper

First, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the butter and brown sugar and cook another 1-2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the pecans are evenly coated. Stir often for another minute and then remove to a piece of waxed paper or greased piece of foil, spreading them out so they cool separately.

Mix the dressing ingredients (amounts are approx.) in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Season to taste. Add the chopped apple to the dressing, place the lettuces on top of this, then the cooled pecans and finally the shavings of parmesan. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Do not make more than 1 hour in advance. Toss gently before serving.

A breakfast trial run.

No matter where we've lived, we've found our breakfast place. Ideally not just a diner, but not an upscale restaurant either. Most seem to have wooden benches or chairs that are slightly sticky. Most of the time the coffee is strong and the service somewhere between too slow and just right, and most Sundays, there are lines out the door.

We have found our breakfast place in Luna Grill and Diner. With a sort of small town vibe and homestyle food, it hits all the right notes. As our 10 years together could account for, we predictably order 2 coffees and 2 plates of eggs benedict, both with a side of fruit substituted for the potatoes. Since I feel everything is improved with cream sauce, eggs benedict is pretty much the most satisfying thing I can think of to eat at 10 am on a Sunday morning. Nevermind that Hollandaise sauce is not a cream sauce, merely a creamy sauce. It still sneaks in under the radar as the magical reason a poached egg perched on grilled ham that sits on a toasted english muffin is as close to a transcendent experience as one can get. Pretty pale looking at first, but full of sunshine once you burst that runny yellow egg yolk.
In a righteous attempt at creating this at home, I found new appreciation for the breakfast line cook. Indeed, I made a beautiful and decent tasting E.B. but the hollandaise was tricky. It came together and didn't break, but mine was too buttery and perhaps too lemony. It should be rich yet subtle and mine bragged too loudly of its fat content.

Still, we managed to choke it down and after the hour of prep time and the mountain of dishes accrued, we decided that next week we'd happily go back to Luna.

Anyone with a tried and true Hollandaise recipe is welcome to share it here!

Key Lime Tart

Alas...lots of cooking and very little writing do not a food blog make! I'm here to remedy this, finally. I think I have a few recipes that are worth sharing - and eating.

To start, my first attempt at using a pastry bag. Not overly impressive. But if you keep in mind it was completely without research or practiced technique, I think it looks cute enough. Plus, piping whipped cream doesn't hold it's shape quite as well as a buttercream frosting.

This whipped cream topped a creamy lime custard tart with a spicy gingersnap crust. Resembling key lime pie, but without real key limes, I admit it's only a Lime Tart. But, as a defense, Cook's Illustrated says that using Persian limes (supermarket limes) are both much easier to juice, as they're larger, and the taste difference is negligible. I don't know if I truly buy that these limes are interchangeable. I've had real key lime pie and it is superb, after all. But, this plain old Persian lime tart was easy and tasted fabulous!

Lime Tart with Gingersnap Crust
(recipe adapted from Cook's Illustrated,
The Best Recipe)

1 1/2 cups gingersnap crumbs, ground in a food processor from gingersnap cookies
2 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp butter, melted
dash of cinnamon

Pulse the gingersnaps in a food processor until uniformly ground. Add the sugar and cinnamon. Pulse a few more times to incorporate. Remove the gingersnap crumbs to a mixing bowl. Stir in the melted butter until well combined. Press the crumbs evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a buttered tart pan. Using plastic wrap helps prevents the crumbs sticking to your fingers.

Bake the crust at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes. You don't want to pour the filling into a piping hot crust.

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, strained
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp grated lime zest

Whisk together the egg yolks and lime zest in a medium bowl for several minutes. (Cook's Illustrated says this turns the yolks a pale green, but I didn't find this to be true.) Whisk in the condensed milk and then the lime juice. Let this mixture rest just a few minutes to thicken.

Once the crust has mostly cooled, pour the filling into the crust. Bake at 325 degrees F for 15-17 minutes or until the filling is almost set, but still wobbly in the center. Cool again until the tart is at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 3 hours until well chilled.

Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 Tbsp confectioner's sugar

Beat the heavy cream on medium speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar until smooth and stiffer peaks form. Using a pastry bag with a small star tip, pipe the whipped cream over the tart in whatever way your technique allows!

Konerko's ninth slam powers White Sox

CHICAGO -- There was no official announcement coming from Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley labeling Thursday as Paul Konerko Day.

The White Sox designated hitter on this night simply took it upon himself to bestow such an honor.

After meeting with the media for 20 minutes before Chicago's series finale against Boston to discuss his impending free agency, marking the first time Konerko had addressed the topic during this Most Valuable Player Award-caliber season, the captain powered the White Sox to an 8-2 win at U.S. Cellular Field. The White Sox (86-73) grabbed three of four from the Red Sox (87-72), giving them a 6-1 season-series edge, and they prevented Jon Lester (19-9) from picking up his 20th victory.

Konerko's key at-bat came in the fourth with the game tied at 2, as the first baseman launched his ninth career grand slam, his first since July 7, 2009, against Cleveland. It was a classic battle for Konerko against one of the game's top left-handed starters, who yielded his first career grand slam.

"I threw a fastball up and he hit it out," said Lester. "He's obviously having a great year. Any time you throw a fastball up to those guys that can do what he can, it's not good. If I locate it, does he hit a ground ball? Maybe. Does he still hit it out? Maybe. I don't know. I threw it up in the zone and kind of provided a little bit of the power for him. He put a good swing on it. You've got to tip your hat."

"He's tough. He's got four pitches to use on both sides. Good fastball," Konerko said. "I just kept scrapping and just trying to drive it out. I wasn't thinking homer when you get down two strikes on a guy like that. It felt good and I had a good approach going tonight, and I didn't stray from it while I was up there."

Lester jumped ahead in the count at 1-2, before Konerko took a pair of pitches outside the zone to work it full. Konerko fouled off another one and then lofted the next offering into the left-center-field stands for his 39th home run, raising his RBI total to 111.

In this All-Star season during which even a glancing blow to the face on a Carl Pavano pitch couldn't slow down Konerko, his manager was not surprised to see this grand result.

"This player is unique -- very professional. [That was] just a big at-bat," Ozzie Guillen said. "All year, he was locked in and did not give up that many at-bats. [He tried] to make the best out of every at-bat. That's why he had the kind of season he had."

Here's how much power Konerko really possesses. In the sixth inning, going in search of his 40th home run, Konerko lofted a long drive to left-center that was caught about three feet from the wall. That blast seemed to shake the rafters, as two batters later, U.S. Cellular Field suffered an electrical outage, delaying the game for 21 minutes.

Dayan Viciedo also went deep for the White Sox, with his fourth home run barely clearing the fence in right, a shot which all but put an end to Lester's night. The Boston ace gave up eight runs on nine hits over four-plus innings, striking out five, walking five and throwing 99 pitches.

This contest could have been a 20-win coronation for Lester, with the Red Sox focused on helping their hurler reach that milestone. Konerko clearly had other ideas.

"That was perfect," said White Sox starting and winning pitcher John Danks of Konerko's grand slam. "I was a little worried I gave up the home run to put us down a run. Go down a run against Lester, he's a tough guy to score against."

Danks (15-11) increased his single-season career high for victories by striking out six in six innings, with Victor Martinez's two-run home run in the third the only runs he allowed. Danks finished with a 3.72 ERA and a team-high 162 strikeouts in a team-high 213 innings.

"We've been saying all along how we are trying to win every game from here on out, keep battling," Danks said. "We are all competitive and don't like to get beat, and tonight was another example."

Taking this series from Boston means Guillen needs just two victories this weekend to give him 600 for his career. Konerko needs one home run for his third season with at least 40 and needs three to set a career best at 42.

"Now, I'm rooting for 40," said Guillen of Konerko's home run total.

"I'll give it a run," Konerko said. "The numbers are nice. I've done it before. It's always nice to have a round number. But if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I would rather hit 25 or 30 on a team going to the playoffs than 40 on a team that's not."

Three games against Cleveland remain at home before the 2010 season wraps up. Konerko wasn't really in the plans to play much this weekend, although those plans might change with 40 homers in sight.

At the very least, catcher A.J. Pierzynski and Konerko figure to play on Sunday in what could be their last game wearing a White Sox uniform. Konerko received a curtain call after his grand slam on Thursday, and both players figure to get the same appreciative treatment from White Sox fans with their futures unknown.

"They've been great teammates for me," said Danks of Konerko and Pierzynski. "We want them back, but it's not our department."

Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam

(Adopted and Issued at the Nineteenth Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers in Cairo on 5 August 1990).

Many Muslims don't want other Muslims to have the universal rights identified by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This is their second attempt to restrict their rights to those identified by Islam itself.

Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam Commentary by Child Support Analysis
The Member States of the Organization of the Islamic Conference,

Reaffirming the civilizing and historical role of the Islamic Ummah which God made the best nation that has given mankind a universal and well-balanced civilization in which harmony is established between this life and the hereafter and knowledge is combined with faith; and the role that this Ummah should play to guide a humanity confused by competing trends and ideologies and to provide solutions to the chronic problems of this materialistic civilization.

Wishing to contribute to the efforts of mankind to assert human rights, to protect man from exploitation and persecution, and to affirm his freedom and right to a dignified life in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah

Convinced that mankind which has reached an advanced stage in materialistic science is still, and shall remain, in dire need of faith to support its civilization and of a self-motivating force to guard its rights;

Believing that fundamental rights and universal freedoms in Islam are an integral part of the Islamic religion and that no one as a matter of principle has the right to suspend them in whole or in part or violate or ignore them in as much as they are binding divine commandments, which are contained in the Revealed Books of God and were sent through the last of His Prophets to complete the preceding divine messages thereby making their observance an act of worship and their neglect or violation an abominable sin, and accordingly every person is individually responsible - and the Ummah collectively responsible - for their safeguard.

Proceeding from the above-mentioned principles,

Declare the following:

Phrases such as "which God made the best nation" and "a humanity confused by competing trends and ideologies" reveal the assumption that the community of muslims is inherently superior, and all others need to be guided by muslims.

Any reference to "the Islamic Shari'ah" simply says "do what Islam tells you to do".

Any Islamic declaration of human rights will always state that the rights described must conform to Islamic law - "shariah law" Muslims only have the right to do what Islam allows them to do!

In this page, "Shari'ah", meaning Islamic Law, is styled in red.

Article 1

(a) All human beings form one family whose members are united by submission to God and descent from Adam. All men are equal in terms of basic human dignity and basic obligations and responsibilities, without any discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, language, sex, religious belief, political affiliation, social status or other considerations. True faith is the guarantee for enhancing such dignity along the path to human perfection.

(b) All human beings are God’s subjects, and the most loved by him are those who are most useful to the rest of His subjects, and no one has superiority over another except on the basis of piety and good deeds.

No they are not. Some of us believe gods don't exist, and don't submit to any god!
Article 2

(a) Life is a God-given gift and the right to life is guaranteed to every human being. It is the duty of individuals, societies and states to protect this right from any violation, and it is prohibited to take away life except for a Shari'ah-prescribed reason.

(b) It is forbidden to resort to such means as may result in the genocidal annihilation of mankind.

(c) The preservation of human life throughout the term of time willed by God is a duty prescribed by Shari'ah.

(d) Safety from bodily harm is a guaranteed right. It is the duty of the state to safeguard it, and it is prohibited to breach it without a Shari'ah-prescribed reason.

Article 3

(a) In the event of the use of force and in case of armed conflict, it is not permissible to kill non-belligerents such as old men, women and children. The wounded and the sick shall have the right to medical treatment; and prisoners of war shall have the right to be fed, sheltered and clothed. It is prohibited to mutilate dead bodies. It is a duty to exchange prisoners of war and to arrange visits or reunions of the families separated by the circumstances of war.

(b) It is prohibited to fell trees, to damage crops or livestock, and to destroy the enemy’s civilian buildings and installations by shelling, blasting or any other means.

Article 4
Every human being is entitled to inviolability and the protection of his good name and honour during his life and after his death. The state and society shall protect his remains and burial place.
Article 5

(a) The family is the foundation of society, and marriage is the basis of its formation. Men and women have the right to marriage, and no restrictions stemming from race, colour or nationality shall prevent them from enjoying this right.

(b) Society and the State shall remove all obstacles to marriage and shall facilitate marital procedure. They shall ensure family protection and welfare.

Article 6

(a) Woman is equal to man in human dignity, and has rights to enjoy as well as duties to perform; she has her own civil entity and financial independence, and the right to retain her name and lineage.

(b) The husband is responsible for the support and welfare of the family.

Note: this doesn't say that women and men have equal rights!

Which, of course, they don't, according to Islam.

Article 7

(a) As of the moment of birth, every child has rights due from the parents, society and the state to be accorded proper nursing, education and material, hygienic and moral care. Both the fetus and the mother must be protected and accorded special care.

(b) Parents and those in such like capacity have the right to choose the type of education they desire for their children, provided they take into consideration the interest and future of the children in accordance with ethical values and the principles of the Shari'ah.

(c) Both parents are entitled to certain rights from their children, and relatives are entitled to rights from their kin, in accordance with the tenets of the Shari'ah.

Article 8
Every human being has the right to enjoy his legal capacity in terms of both obligation and commitment. Should this capacity be lost or impaired, he shall be represented by his guardian.
Article 9

(a) The quest for knowledge is an obligation, and the provision of education is a duty for society and the State.

(b) Every human being has the right to receive both religious and worldly education from the various institutions of education and guidance, including the family, the school, the university, the media, etc., and in such an integrated and balanced manner as to develop his personality, strengthen his faith in God and promote his respect for and defence of both rights and obligations.

Article 10
Islam is the religion of unspoiled nature. It is prohibited to exercise any form of compulsion on man or to exploit his poverty or ignorance in order to convert him to another religion or to atheism.

But is a muslim allowed to convert to another religion or to atheism of his/her own free will?

It is generally stated that the penalty for apostasy is death. This doesn't hint otherwise.

Article 11

(a) Human beings are born free, and no one has the right to enslave, humiliate, oppress or exploit them, and there can be no subjugation but to God the Most-High.

(b) Colonialism of all types being one of the most evil forms of enslavement is totally prohibited. Peoples suffering from colonialism have the full right to freedom and self-determination. It is the duty of all States and peoples to support the struggle of colonized peoples for the liquidation of all forms of colonialism and occupation, and all States and peoples have the right to preserve their independent identity and exercise control over their wealth and natural resources.

Article 12
Every man shall have the right, within the framework of Shari'ah, to free movement and to select his place of residence whether inside or outside his country and, if persecuted, is entitled to seek asylum in another country. The country of refuge shall ensure his protection until he reaches safety, unless asylum is motivated by an act which Shari'ah regards as a crime.
Article 13
Work is a right guaranteed by the State and Society for each person able to work. Everyone shall be free to choose the work that suits him best and which serves his interests and those of society.

Should workers and employers disagree on any matter, the State shall intervene to settle the dispute and have the grievances redressed, the rights confirmed and justice enforced without bias.
Article 14
Everyone shall have the right to legitimate gains without monopolization, deceit or harm to oneself or to others. Usury (riba) is absolutely prohibited.
Article 15

(a) Everyone shall have the right to own property acquired in a legitimate way, and shall be entitled to the rights of ownership, without prejudice to oneself, others or to society in general.

(c) A private residence is inviolable in all cases. It will not be entered without permission from its inhabitants or in any unlawful manner, nor shall it be demolished or confiscated and its dwellers evicted.

Article 19

(a) All individuals are equal before the law, without distinction between the ruler and the ruled.

(b) The right to resort to justice is guaranteed to everyone.

(c) Liability is in essence personal.

(d) There shall be no crime or punishment except as provided for in the Shari'ah.

(e) A defendant is innocent until his guilt is proven in a fair trial in which he shall be given all the guarantees of defence.

Article 20
It is not permitted without legitimate reason to arrest an individual, or restrict his freedom, to exile or to punish him. It is not permitted to subject him to physical or psychological torture or to any form of humiliation, cruelty or indignity. Nor is it permitted to subject an individual to medical or scientific experimentation without his consent or at the risk of his health or of his life.

(d) It is not permitted to arouse nationalistic or doctrinal hatred or to do anything that may be an incitement to any form of racial discrimination.

So much for free speech!

("... not be contrary to the principles of the Shari'ah").

("... violate sanctities and the dignity of Prophets, undermine moral and ethical values or disintegrate, corrupt or harm society or weaken its faith").

Article 23

(a) Authority is a trust; and abuse or malicious exploitation thereof is absolutely prohibited, so that fundamental human rights may be guaranteed.

(b) Everyone shall have the right to participate, directly or indirectly in the administration of his country's public affairs. He shall also have the right to assume public office in accordance with the provisions of Shari'ah.

Article 24

These are the articles that override all apparent human rights and replace them with the constraints of Islam.

The statement "... Shari'ah is the only source of reference ..." identifies that this declaration takes precedence over the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

According to this declaration, the human rights of muslims are the common subset of the words stated here and the sharia law of Islam.

All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Shari'ah.
Article 25
The Islamic Shari'ah is the only source of reference for the explanation or clarification to any of the articles of this Declaration.
Cairo, 14 Muharram 1411H, 5 August 1990

From Shazia Mirza, Britain's only female muslim stand-up comedian:
"I'm really looking forward to my wedding day. I can't wait to meet my husband".
