An expose on the Quran has caused an uproar on the net. First a site that hosted it got death threats. Those peaceful Muslims again. Then the domain on which it was supposed to be released was suspended by Network Solutions upon receipt of complaints that it violated the acceptable use policy (yeah right, I believe that one). Add to this the time that Pakistan took YouTube entirely off the Internet a few weeks ago for a brief period of time because they displeased them, and you see what kind of people these are. (At least Pakistan didn't threaten anyone.) There will continue to be wars of all kinds with these people.

Did you hear about the Islamic convert to Catholicism that Pope Benedict baptized? Karl Keating of Catholic Answers writes all about it and its significance in his e-newsletter. The individual already had a fatwa out for his death so I suppose he couldn't do any worse. Benedict has a lot of courage baptizing a Muslim so publicly. He's sending a clear message and it may not be well received. Makes one wonder if he will be the target for assassination.
Dr. Laura is blaming Spitzer's wife for driving him into the arms of another woman. See, she didn't meet his needs, didn't validate him as a man and so forth. Oy vey! I am disappointed.
I don't really see how a prostitute's validation can be meaningful to a man at all. She will just tell him whatever he wants to hear, and it won't be honest. A man who is satisfied by that is nothing but shallow.
(Historical context: Eliot Spitzer, governor of New York and former attorney general, resigned recently because he had been caught patronizing prostitutes.)
P.S. The link is fixed. Thanks, Caleb.
Eliot Spitzer will not be missed by the pro-life movement. According to the Family Research Council, he was a "bully towards pregnancy care centers and pro-life organizations and as a champion of abortion-on-demand and NARAL. As New York's attorney general, Elliot Spitzer spent taxpayer time and treasure attacking those who aid pregnant women. Shortly after winning the governorship, he pushed for legislation that would have made abortion in New York even more pandemic while stomping on the rights of religious providers like Catholic hospitals." So thanks be to God he has resigned.
