ARTS: Try the QFT
Fancy a trip to the cinema uninterrupted by the slurping of drinks and munching of popcorn? Want to challenge your mind beyond what the latest generic rom-com instalment at the average multiplex can offer? For a cinematic experience unparalleled in the rest of Belfast, QFT is a haven from the moment of entry. Surrounded by framed black and white images of scenes from classic movies, it’s clear that QFT is a movie lovers’ cinema, for appreciators of the pure exhilaration and joy brought by a good film.

FEATURE: “Inhumane” law to be incorporated into British courts
A nation was veiled in shock early last month as Afghan President Hamid Karzai reinstated the Sharia Personal Status Law. The Afghan president who had previously denounced practices such as forced marriage and intercourse claiming, “These practices are cruel, against our religion and no longer acceptable” (International Women’s Day, Kabul, March 2005), has re-approved a piece of legislation which President Obama has branded “abhorrent”.
