Since I really don’t have a chance to watch TV news or read the newspaper, all my news comes from on-line browsing and from my husband who actually has an opportunity to discuss global issues with people old enough to know what a “global issue” is. I didn’t even know that they increased the price of first-class postage by 2 cents until 2 weeks later. Lame.

But is this making the news? I’m all for treating all religions as equals, unless of course a religion thinks it’s OK to violently target another religion, and then said religion needs to have its be-hind whupped. I don’t expect the Muslim world to accept Christianity as equal, but they better start tolerating it. Yeah, sure, it’s a few bad apples…or it’s not Muslims, it’s terrorists acting in the name of Islam. Right. And the evidence to support the idea that the general Muslim population is opposed to this behavior is where? The government and religious programs to teach tolerance and goodwill to people of other religions are…where?
