Religions
If you've read this blog before, you know I'm not too high on organized religion in general, let alone specific religions. That being said, it seems to me that Muslims have more than their share of idiots (Pat Robertson not withstanding). Without having to mention stonings, acid throwers and the almost daily bombings (ok - I'll mention them), they can't even seem to handle a religious celebration among themselves. The latest news says at least 345 Muslim pilgrims die during the stone-throwing ritual at the Hajj in Saudi Arabia. It seems to me that this happens most every year - although the news does say this is the highest in 16 years.
Come on people. Isn't there enough ways to die in this world without you guys coming up with religion specific extras? The only good thing about this is that it seems to be targeted at themselves and not other religions for a change.
