Weekly Roundup
January 24, 2010 by Infantile and Disorderly
500 Sunni candidates have been banned from standing in Iraq’s upcoming election. So much for an invasion to “give Iraq democracy… [leave] its citizens free to worship in the way they wish” (Tony Blair, 2003).
- Cherie Booth QC has let a Muslim who broke another man’s jaw in a fight walk free from court without reparations, citing as her reason the fact that he is “a religious man”. Is this some sort of repentance for her husband’s complicity in the murder of hundreds of thousands of other Muslims, or is harbouring delusions really the new get out jail free card?
- Speaking of delusions, a Christian charity called Faith Comes By Hearing is fundraising to send audio bibles to Haiti. Not food or water. Not medics or medical supplies. MP3 recordings of Bible snippets read aloud in Haitian Creole. That’s exactly what the people of Haiti need.
- 2000 photographers protested against the police’s use of terrorism laws to prevent photography in public places
