"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Here's an objective analysis of the source from the Christian Science Monitor
(unlike the shock-jock papers, the CSM actually has knowledgeable reporters living in the countries they cover)
Fairly easy to debunk these stories if you're familiar with Islamic culture:
- The same clerics said it was okay for pregnant women to drink alcohol (alcohol is an extreme faux pas for any Muslim -
let alone pregnant women).
- The same cleric also said it was fine for a woman to have sex with her dead husband (not quite sure how anyone might think that would happen).
There's absolutely NO evidence that Egypt's parliament is seriously considering silly provisions like this. The story is flying around simply because it's still vogue to believe bizarre things about Muslims.

Yes... I'm working up my scientific thesis between Italian ladies back sides and AGW in Europe... I know there must be a connection because just looking at them kept me warm most of the time I was there.

rofllol I'm sure it was only you, the other straight men, and the single lesbians who felt that way. The rest of us ladies would've been frosting the air with our glacial looks and moods, thus negating the warming you were causing.
But, by all means, see if you can create some warming for the men and women over here - I'm sure they'd love to live vicariously through you with some tasteful yet hot pics. :thumbsup:

All kidding aside (I don't like to waste pictures on humans)... I have 900 photos, I need to cull through them, place some of the most interesting ones on some server space and work up a little narrative... next week some time... right now... fading fast.

(frankly, I think they're gullible, in general)
It's so easy to jump to conclusions when the breadth of knowledge isn't what it should be...
