Pope Invites Muslims to Dialogue
“The Pope, who used the terms "jihad" and "holy war" in his lecture, added: "Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul."
Muslims angered over his remarks respond. My favorite quote:
"Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence," [Pakistan] Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.
Uh, thanks Tasnim, for proving the Pope wrong...

Utah Governor Seeks Additional Congressional District
Utah’s Governor Huntsman testified before the House Judiciary Constitution subcommittee to lobby for an additional Utah congressional seat. The increase in Utah’s delegation would be politically balanced by giving a representative to Washington DC.
I was going to write something snide like “The Governor needs to first live in DC or close by. does he think a city that consistently voted in Marian Barry could handle the responsibility of a congressperson who actually gets a vote that counts!” However, knowing that the Governor’s father was an official in the Nixon Whitehouse, he probably has lived in Washington DC or nearby. So what gives?
Utah is sure to get a new congressional seat with the next census and should wait. Local DC officials have been some of the most corrupt in the United States. Before I would contemplate giving DC a voting congressional representative, I would want to see that city without corruption for 10 years.

More proof that religion is the opposite of truth, wisdom, and justice
Now we have the Grand Inquisitor (the pot) lecturing Islam (the kettle) about spreading religion through violence (dark deeds) and quoting a Dark Ages text while the USA and Europe are in the midst of the Neo-Crusades. Does anyone else see the irony and absurdity in this situation?
The West has killed far more Muslims than they have killed westerners, yet our press and leaders can only see Muslim desperation in the face of western military and economic dominance, (all in the name of God and country), as the sources of evil in this world.
Guess what guys and girls, war is evil, no matter what the excuse or cause or who is doing the killing. Any idiot who thinks the Creator would judge religion or war as wise or acceptable activities has a very big surprise in store.
Here is Wisdom...
