Christian Science Monitor writer says Egypt’s proposed “necrophilia law” is “utter hooey” because…he wants it to be
So many people have sent this story to me this morning that it seemed worth posting, but not as the cautionary tale it was meant to be. Rather, it is an object lesson in irresponsible journalism.

Italy: Convert to Islam arrested for misunderstanding his new, peaceful faith, plotting to bomb synagogue
Here again, we see the human cost of misunderstanding what we all know, on pain of “Islamophobia” charges, is a Religion of Peace.
