I will never understand

what motivates people to do things like this...

Pagan stone circle may have been destroyed in religous hate attack

"Police are probing the destruction of a Pagan stone circle in a possible religious hate attack."

(...and why do newspaper editors follow a headline with a quotation or comment that expresses almost word-for-word what the headline did...)

This sort of thing is happening more and more

in countries where Islamist fanatic murderers like Al Shabaab militants make laws for themselves...

 Islamic Extremists in Somalia Behead 17-year-old Christian

Have mercy on him, Lord, and on all his family.

It couldn't happen to a better group

Westboro preachers banned from Aberdeen church protest: Fred Phelps and Shirley Phelps-Roper refused entry into UK

Good. Let the British authorities spend time in litigation with these hate mongers.

Here's more information on the Westboro Baptist Church and Fred Phelps

Isn't it incredible



how many different groups these people hate and commit violence against...

Indonesia jails victim of attack on Ahmadi sect

...and how some governments condone their actions and punish the victims rather than those who commit the vicious crimes against them?

Indonesia - not where you want to spend your vacation...

Amen.

Why are ‘Christians’ so angry, and sometimes downright hateful?

"This kind of hatred and bigotry can even result in the kind of mass killings we have just seen in Norway"

And if I have ever been guilty of any of this vitriol or anger, I ask forgiveness from anyone I've hurt or offended...

Sure

Koran pastor 'not responsible' for UN deaths in Afghanistan

"Thousands of protesters in northern Afghanistan, enraged over news that an American Christian preacher had overseen a torching of the Koran, stormed a United Nations compound, killing at least seven UN staff."

Of course he's not responsible. He wouldn't think he was in any case. In the minds of a lot of people in the world he's wrong, though, just as he was wrong in the first place to burn the book.

They hate so much...

States Line Up Against Funeral Hecklers in Supreme Court Brief

"Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church Picketed Marine's Funeral; Court to Decide if Protest Was Free Speech"

How far does society and the law go to protect the free speech rights of these people to spread their brand of vitriol and hatred? If anyone were to do this over the telephone, or to an individual, they'd be arrested for harassment immediately, but because the Phelps family is full of lawyers who can keep anything tied up in court for decades, costing the State and individuals millions of dollars, nothing is done...

*Sigh*

I wonder if the plays author is gay...

Anti-Catholic Hate Speech at Tarleton State University

"Jesus is depicted as the "King of the Queers" who says to the apostles, "F--- your mother, F--- your father, F--- God.""

I ask that only because, as SWMBO and I have discussed many times in the past, the gay community seems to seriously push the envelope in their depictions of themselves some times, and then try to see if they're still accepted or if there's any backlash.

I think of some of the parades I've seen news reports of and they seem to go out of their way to push people's buttons, to mock straight institutions and beliefs and push sexual boundaries, but then want to be accepted as normal. It's a very unusual thing...

Ah, well... the last acceptable prejudice is to be prejudiced against Catholics...

They're at it again...




Update: Anti-gay religious group wants Twitter to 'serve god'

Now the Westboro Baptist hate group is starting to take on internet app social trends and their originators rather than just funerals of soldiers and other innocent parties...

Fanaticism,

bigotry and prejudice exist in every religious group...

Mouths filled with hatred

And fanatics often do disgusting things that reflect badly upon their religion or race...

I'm sure

that those helped by Mother Teresa's order will disagree with Mr. Hitchens...

Christopher Hitchens Condemns and Mocks Mother Teresa

Mr. Hitchens appears to have an obsession with Mother Teresa and a hatred for her virtues. It must be a cold, dark place where his spirit dwells. He must also be aching to get back in the news again to be repeating his old bleatings as if it's something we haven't heard him say before. One can only pray that God touch his heart. It's sad to see such bile in anyone...

Good for them

Walkout at Iran leader's speech

What disgusting behaviour. How can a body like the U.N. even let someone like him speak? It's like inviting Hitler to speak on the eve of WW II. We can never let a fanaticly anti-Israeli nation like this have nuclear weapons...

No cure...

Despite Nation's Strides, Hate Groups Grow In Number

Only continued recovery...

This isn't surprising

Westboro hate group says it will picket funerals of Netherlands plane crash victims

They get banned from one country and go to another. They have no specific reason to go there other than there was just a tragedy there. These people feed off of the misery, anguish and sorrow of others, but mainly off the publicity.

A good article on their leader, Fred Phelps, is found HERE.

Finally


Anti-gay preachers Fred Phelps and Shirley Phelps-Roper banned from Britain

A government has the courage to declare that their hate speech and hate protests aren't protected 'free speech', something the U.S. can never seem to do. U.S. authorities will shut down peaceful pro-life demonstrations, but not the hate exhibitions of this group. Odd, no? They're all scared of him and his group for some reason...

The insane people of this insane world

have incredibly short memories...

Who Are The Real Nazis?

The whole of the Arab world was unable to drive the Jewish people out of Israel after World War II, and they really, really tried. Now they'll use the Palesinian people (who want nothing less than the Jewish people to be driven into the sea themselves) to do their dirty work for them.

(Make sure you read the comment by Neo-Nazi Pastor Martin Luther Dzerzhinsky Lindstedt, Church of Jesus Christ Christian/Aryan Nations of Missouri,to open your eyes to what hatred looks like - or is it satire? It's so exreme it's hard to tell...)

Disgusting

Web site uses MLK name to attack him

Just plain disgusting. It's people like this that President-elect Obama has to be watchful of. They live in a world of hate...

In India

How to Be Un-Born Again

"India's biggest radical Hindu group aims to wipe out Christianity through reconversions and violence."

The 'Gandhi' types were always a minority in India as they are in most countries...

Hmmm...

A white supremacist named 'White'. Appropriate.

Attorney: White supremacist trial to be in Chicago

The 'American National Socialist Workers Party'. Somehow it reminds me of the Monty Python 'National Bocialist Party' sketch, but these people aren't so harmless like the ones in the skit...

On this date, in 1885,

Chinese miners were driven out of Black Diamond, Washington.

What a history of brotherly and sisterly love we have. And it continues on...
