I heard about arrests on NPR this morning. When they didn't mention any specifics on the background of the perps, I assumed they were Muslims (that works pretty well for US news, just like if they don't constantly say the party of someone in a political scandal, you know which party it is).

Five Muslims from Algeria, with a sixth person now arrested as well. I read it in only one news source - all others carefully and sensibly avoid to mention the ethnic identity of those persons at all. Some even did not call them "men", but just "persons" indeed".

Oh this political correctness sensibility!

Can't say I'm particularly surprised. Ah well, more fuel for the Crusade.

Gotta admit I agree with him to some extent:

Although I think he's kinda missed the point with:

That's the problem, the kind of people that youth look to for their examples...ie:



Or:



And so on and so forth.

It's just the tip of the iceberg I know, but still, that's life today, and the Vatican needs to move with the times if it wants to actually maintain some sense of credibility...oh, that and stop trying to protect the priests of buggery.

And how are they going to get the wheelchair bound persons head up to the noose? Seriously, I call foul. I'm going to sue the designers for discrimination now. Furthermore, those ropes are nowhere near enough security against a fall, someone could get seriously injured on those gallows!

I've been completely bladdered in several Islamic nations, and so have the locals. Bahrain tops the lot, strict Saudis crossing the causway, staying in luxurious villas or hotels with prostitutes and drinking all night - but that may just be jealousy talking.

Let's all blame BP for supplying his fuel to get here...

He's only come here to pick potatoes out of the ground - oh no, it was the last one that was Polish...

Germans have finally invaded Britain with a type XVI...

BBC News: Pope compares atheists with Nazis - How would he know? He's never been an atheist.

A sixth man has been arrested in London by police in relation to a potential threat to Pope Benedict XVI's visit.

His arrest, at 1345 BST, came after five men were seized at 0545 BST after counter-terrorism officers received intelligence of a potential threat.

All six, who were street cleaners, have been taken to a London police station.

Pfft, they'll probably have a choirboy special edition.

You're right Xabba, it is an equal opportunity offender. I should imagine most of those that these protesters protest for really don't care.

Change the record would you?

Oberon the crazy thing is the people not wanting Christmas to happen or have nativity scenes in shop windows aren't the ethnic minorities or religions but the silly white people who think they are going to get offended when all the ones I meet llike the Christmas malarky.

Back to the pope, when I hear him on the radio he DOES have the comedy sinister german accent when he speaks. Priceless.
