Brightening your weekend

Just when you thought some things couldn't get any worse:
EL FASHER, Sudan -- Tribal leaders on Friday rejected the possibility of U.N. peacekeepers replacing African Union forces in Darfur, with one chief threatening a "holy war" if non-African troops deployed to the Sudanese region.

... If a U.N. force comes to Darfur, Jalaladin said, "we are declaring jihad against it. . . . It means death. It means defending Sudan and Islam."
This apparently is a Muslim unfamiliar with God the merciful and compassionate, who encourages his followers to protect the weak.

'Course, other blogs have pointed out Ann Coulter's latest ravings. That makes this old article from The Nation particulary interesting in retrospect.

MeTheSheeple seems to recall that while the development of the religions took different paths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam all share common roots -- and thus a common God. At least 1.4 million Web page authors have the right idea. Where do these morons come from? Is there a remedial religion school we can kick 'em off to?
