2/3     Some nice messages of religious tolerance
        http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-13501917,00.html
        \_ So that God Hates Fags guy is representative of most Christians?
           Or maybe you prefer Jerry Falwell and the 700 Club?
           \_ "guy"?  These are large demonstrations, all around europe and
              in the middle east.
        \_ Every day should be "offend a religious nutjob day."  -John
           \_ Hear, hear.
           \_ It's not like you have to work hard to offend them.
              \_ Exactly.  Maybe Hallmark can print up cards or something
                 like that.  -John
              \_ actually, it's the anti-religious people who are most
                 easily offended.  just say "gay is bad", "evolution
                 is just a theory", or "I support school prayers" and
                 they get all riled up.

12/28   Looking for a religiousness density map based on county. Is there
        one out there?
        \_ Try http://search.census.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&affiliate=census&query=religion+by+county
           \_ Public Law 94-521 prohibits us from asking a question on religious
              affiliation on a mandatory basis; therefore, the Bureau of the Census
              is not the source for information on religion.

UK News Protesters on the march Protesters on the march Muslims March On Embassy Updated: 23:45, Friday February 03, 2006 Hundreds of Muslims have staged angry protests in London following the publication of cartoons satirising the prophet Mohammed. Scores waved placards bearing angry messages, one declaring: "Behead the one who insults the prophet". Others said: "Free speech go to hell" and "Europe: Your 9/11 will come". The protesters met after Friday prayers outside Regent's Park mosque in central London and marched through the streets towards the Danish embassy on Sloane Street. They chanted religious slogans in Arabic, paying homage to Allah and the Prophet. Among those protesting was 26-year-old Bushra Varakat, a student from Egham, Surrey. France Soir newspaper carried a Mohammed cartoon France Soir newspaper carried a Mohammed cartoon She said: "We don't know why these silly people use these cartoons unless they were showing how much they hate us. "We have to defend our prophet otherwise Allah will punish us. However Mohammed Demasco, 24, who moved to the UK from Syria 13 years ago, said they did not represent the views of mainstream Muslims. "The UK has given us a living and jobs and provided us with opportunities that our own countries could not give us." The cartoons that provoked the fury first appeared in a Danish newspaper but were then reproduced in other European countries. No British newspaper has carried them, but broadcasters including the BBC, ITV and Channel Four have included them in their output.
