What Would Jesus Do?

Well... Looks like the Jews know better than the Christians, in some cases...


AUSTIN — Organizers of an interfaith Thanksgiving celebration scrambled to find a new location for the annual event after an evangelical Baptist megachurch objected to Muslims worshiping on its property.

Hyde Park Baptist Church notified Austin Area Interreligious Ministries this week that it wouldn't allow the event scheduled for Sunday at Hyde Park's sports complex known as the Quarries.

The Thanksgiving event is in its 23rd year and invites Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Bahais and others to worship together. Austin's largest synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, has now offered to host the celebration, organizers said.

News Flash! (not)

Women in predominantly Muslim countries are struggling to compete for jobs, win equal pay and hold political office, falling behind the rest of the world in eliminating discrimination, a report said Thursday.

I get really tired of how Muslims gloat about Islam giving women rights that weren't granted to Western women until much more recently. This may be true, but we have no business gloating about it until we can put it into practice. This news report tells us how far we have to go in that respect...

How did you get here?

So I was looking at my blog stats and found this section where it shows what people typed into google to land on my blog. Turns out, out of the last 35 hits that came from a search engine, 65% of them were searches on Huma Abedin. A while ago, I wrote a short profile on her and France's Rachida Dati, two powerful Muslim women. So... with Hillary Clinton so far ahead in the polls, she may indeed become the Democratic Presidential nominee... perhaps even the President! And if that happened, could Huma Abedin become a member of her cabinet? Imagine... a Muslim woman working directly for the US President, as there is currently working for the French President. Pretty cool, huh?

As a side note, here are some other seaches that somehow led people to my blog:
  • muslim cat
  • preteens boob job
  • husband makes bigoted remarks about my family
