Culture Wars

To put it mildly!

RSNews:

Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seemed to have noticed. On Tuesday Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Sharia criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, the code legalizes crucifixion.

While Hamas joyously renewed its jihad against Jews and Christians, its overlords in Iran also basked in jihadist triumphalism. The source of Iran's sense of ascendancy this week was Britain's state-owned Channel 4 network's decision to request that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad give a special Christmas Day address to the British people.

But they didn't think the Sharia legalization of CRUCIFIXION was noteworty? No comments on how this is going to play out in Lebanon, for example? WHAT THE HELL!!!

I couldn't agree more. It's very telling what is considered newsworthy and what is not.

I agree with your pro-life message, and I wonder if you might look at this blog post of mine and see what you think:

Something I Just Don't Get

I was trying to target a discussion point that didn't necessarily require a common faith.

God bless you in the new year!
