Religious Hatred. Again.

Moderate Islam seems more and more like a myth.

Some may remember that Dr Zaki Badawi, the previous head of the UK's council of Islam once offered Rushdie sanctuary in is own home. A far cry from Sir Iqbal Sacranie, homophobe, racist and hate-monger who declared that ‘Death is perhaps too easy for him'. Sadly Sacranie is feted as the face of moderate islam in the UK. A myth ideed.

Bullshit

Penn & Teller, they of the magic tricks and Babylon 5 cameos have been doing a show for a while now calling bullshit on wacky claims. Apparently this has been going for a while, but I just heard about it recently.

They've gone for some big targets, such as PETA, ESP, Conspiracy theories and the like. However the two I have enjoyed the most are the ones dealing with the Bible and creationism. What makes it doubly cool is that it appears to have been officially added to youtube, so that those of use without US cable TV can still get the benefit. Go check them out!
