THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW, TEACH
Claim of the week, from the executive director of a completely non-religious school:
Zaman told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he didn’t know how to work the flagpole.
Well, they’re complicated. In other Presbyterian news, a Canadian company claims to have endured Halal hell from a supplier. Also, if you’ve been wondering about all those people in your neighbourhood waving “Kill Those Who Insult Jesus” posters, this should explain things:
A Saudi blogger has made a short video featuring Bible texts allegedly calling for war and Christian extremists preaching violence, in response to an anti-Koran film by a Dutch lawmaker that has sparked angry street protests across the Muslim world.
Raed al-Saeed says the purpose of his video is to show that it’s easy to take segments of any holy book out of context and make it sound like the most inhumane text ever written.
He’s talking to the wrong people. Raed needs to tell the Taliban and his Saudi mates that they’ve taken their own holy book “out of context”.
