Latest news in the wars of religion
"Medical research must pass a three-part test: ‘Is it ethically correct? Is it biblically correct? Is it morally correct?’
Stem cell research does not pass the smell test."
Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority
- As of 18/08/06 three aircraft have been intercepted and forced down as governments lash out with ill-considered, insane and useless rules following the latest alleged plot in the war of religion between Christian-led USA/UK and Muslim-led Al Queda etc.
How to bring a plane down: simply pretend that you have found a handy bottle of Luzozade or a tube of hand-cream tucked into the seat in front of you! This is madness - the lunatics (governments and their over-reaction) are out of the asylum.
- Religious police return to the streets in the Muslim state of Afghanistan created by the USA after the religious war between Christian USA and Muslim Taliban/Al Queda. Next women will be forced back into black sacks and threatened with stoning if found guilty of adultery or of demanding education or, heaven forbid, equal human rights. The world turns, but moves steadily back towards the middle ages.
- Thousands continue to die in the religious wars of Iraq. Christian-led USA/UK v Muslim fanatics and Shia Muslims v Sunni Muslims.
- People return to their homes after the short war between Judaist Israel and Muslim Hezbullah.
Hezbullah made extensive use of French-made Milan and Russian-made Metis-M anti-tank missiles against Israel's Merkava main battle tanks. Middle Eastern sources claim that 100 tanks were destroyed but we certainly will not be told that on the BBC, CNN, Sky or Fox news! Expect to see major shipments (via Prestwick) of weapons of mass destruction from Christian-dominated USA to Judaist-dominated Israel.
Not just Christians, Muslims and Judaists
The good news - it's not all religious doom, gloom and slaughter
