Buffy ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
This morning I got a massage at a local day spa, then went to a nearby shopping area(Kentlands, for those in Montgomery County) for lunch and look for the crafts show that allegedly was happening there. As it turned out, I found no trace of said show. Since the only mention of it was on a flyer that got thrown out, I guess I'm not surprised.(I did go into the PetSmart and cooed over the kitties available for adoption)
Now? Now I'm watching the Red Sox-Yankees game.
REALLY COOL video of a vampire squid.
I see Pope Sidious is at it again...
Just got back from the arts district street fair. Lots of neat booths, exhibits and such, but we got a return to 90° temperatures especially for today, and as I was leaving I walked past a summer school van on the periphery playing "It's a Small World."
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
Muslims took that wrong, huh? Sheesh, sensitive much?
Yeah. And while the very early Christian movement was highly nonviolent what with the martyrs being fed to lions and all, I'd think people of the Islamic faith would have more recent historical memories of, say, the Crusades and the ejection of the Moors from Spain. Benedict's throwing stones from inside a glass basillica.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
Oh, yeah, that'll help. Wasn't Ratz talking about a Medieval manuscript? 'Cause if we could start pulling stuff out on Christianity from the same period to give everyone a little perspective.
I hate that because it seems to me he can say what he wants and be protected from the consequences.
Bon voyage, Jess!
So, this is late because I didn't have time to read here yesterday, but my cousin's ex-husband was 14-15 pounds when born, and his brother was 17. That seems even more impressive not that I see how huge the CT is!
Wasn't Ratz talking about a Medieval manuscript?
Yes, he was quoting a Byzantine emperor. That was an extraordinarily stupid line to quote, but the speech wasn't really attacking Islam. It was attacking secularism, which I find much more troubling.
