POPSOriana Fallaci Square! I am so chuffed, I just adored Oriana. She was such a gutsy woman, brilliant and gorgeous to boot. I just love hearing about how she would catch some of the world's most famous men right off guard while she interviewed them, hehe. Her life inspires me in many ways, and I am very happy she is being remembered by her country in this way :) Bravo Italy!

POPSControversy--Undercover Mosque on Channel 4 (UK) (I saw this doc and it was an absolute horrorshow . Talk about a wake-up to reality!! The videos are available online, youtube I think, maybe google.) Anyways: more from article-- His denial is very widely shared – which is why Mr Patani remains in his job, and why he won’t even be disciplined. The alarming truth is that much of Government policy towards radical Islam is based on Mr Patani’s delusion: if we pretend that radical Islamic preachers do not exist but are rather a creation of Islamophobic journalists, they will just go away. That sort of denial is extremely dangerous. ( YA THINK??????)

POPSRadical Islam over-running the streets of London Shocking.Scary. Insane. Watch the British Police be surrounded by a fundie-mental mob. From comments: In 2006, the UN issued Security Briefing #4776 in which it named Islam as the greatest obstacle to a global peace accord. In the report, they noted that "Islam seems incapable of separating itself from the severe abuse of women" and that Muslims "harbor an innate predisposition to extreme violence and close-minded prejudice.

POPSIslam now world's largest Religion He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population — a stable percentage — while Muslims were at 19.2 percent. "It is true that while Muslim families, as is well known, continue to make a lot of children, Christian ones on the contrary tend to have fewer and fewer," the monsignor said. Formenti said that the data refer to 2006. The figures on Muslims were put together by Muslim countries and then provided to the United Nations, he said, adding that the Vatican could only vouch for its own data. When considering all Christians and not just Catholics, Christians make up 33 percent of the world population, Formenti said. Spokesmen for the Vatican and the United Nations did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment Sunday.

POPSSam Harris appeal for Ayann Hirsi Ali : Urgent. This is a direct link to the security trust set up for Ayann's protection. Even 10 dollars a month from readers will ensure her safety for life. I am so grateful to be able to play a small but essential role in her life: I think she is absolutly amazing and I am inspired and humbled by her work.
