For February 3, 2019....
Eye on Islam...
Asia Bibi, recently acquitted on charges of that fictitious crime blasphemy, is likely headed to Canada. Let's see... Canada's middle finger extended to the Barbaric State of Saudi Arabia - check. Canada's middle finger extended to Pakistan - check. Who's next?
February 1st is World Hijab Day.
Screw that. When these women take off their hijabs in support of their sisters in the Middle East or in families living in the western world whose values are stuck in the 7th century, I might have some modicum of respect. But I will never - NEVER! - allow the normalization of an instrument of misogyny, religion be damned!
A petition to Nike to recall their Air Max shoes has been started at Change.org. The reason? The logo on the sole when viewed upside down looks like the word "Allah". I"m not kidding. Nike has a recent history of moralizing, unless it hurts their bottom line. And of course, CAIR is involved.
The Regressive Left Files
Counter Terrorism Policing UK wants citizens to call police if you see anyone at a hardware store buying knives or hammers while sinister music is playing.
The Twitterverse responds negatively. Who would have seen that coming?
The two Laurier "professors" at the center of the Lindsay Shepherd scandal, Nathan Rambukkana and Herbert Pimlott, are suing Shepherd over their unsolicited slanderous comments comparing Jordan Peterson to Hitler.
Seriously. They're blaming her for Peterson's lawsuit for the comments they made of their own volition because it was her act of recording the inquisition they formed that drew Peterson's attention to them.
Catholic Watch
The Vatican official handling cases of sexual abuse has resigned after allegations leveled against him surface for - wait for it! - sexual abuse.
And finally a good news story in Catholic Watch. Governor Andrew Cuomo, himself a practicing Catholic, signed into law a pro-choice bill, causing bishops in Tennessee and Texas (who couldn't have voted for him anyway) to call for his excommunication. Cuomo dared to suggest that his religious views are separate from is gubernatorial duties. What a concept!
American Theocracy Today...
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders claims God wanted Donald Trump to become president. Does this mean that God fixed the election? Why have elections if God always gets the candidate it wants?
