Normal service to resume shortly

by Feòrag

A few short items for you:

A Muslim website complains that Apple's store in New York is an insult to Islam. Hey, you have your Mecca, I have mine. Apple's NY Fifth Avenue store is an 'insult to Islam'—The Register, 11th October 2006; Apple's "Mecca Project" Provokes Muslim Reaction —MEMRI, 11th October 2006.
An evangelical Christian church declares that blogging is evil. Apparently unaware that social networking sites are often used to arrange get-togethers. Blogging 'un-Christian' - shock—The Register, 10th October 2006.
An Indonesian radio station has announced a competition for the best cartoon depicting the Danish king with pigs. The results should look really good on the radio. The Danish monarch, Queen Margrethe II has yet to comment. Listeners to sketch 'Danish king and pigs'—IOL, 11th October 2006.

Another brief note to add is yet another tale of a loony fundie refusing to do his job because his invisible friend tells him not to:

A Muslim chemist repeatedly refused a mother the "morning after" pill because of his religious beliefs.

Usually it's the Christian wingnuts in the US, this time it's a Moslem bampot in the UK. Yet more proof that loony fundies, whatever their preferred flavour of invisible friend, are all the same.

That "ethics" clause is new. He would've been struck off for that until recently.

Since you brought it up, Red Wolf, I have some info that should be passed on wherever you can.

My fertility is my own business. The more knowledge we have, the more control over our own bodies.

The Apple/Kaaba story was a hoax...

You got a link for that, Jennifer? MEMRI aren't the sort of people to make jokes, unless the Arabic-language source itself was the one doing the hoaxing.

Wax lyrical

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.

This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.

Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
