Jewish date: 13 ’Iyyar 5769.
Today’s holidays: Day 28 of the ‘Omer, Thursday of the Fourth Week of Easter.
Today’s quasi-holiday: International Tuba Day.
Worthy causes of the day: “Support The Historic Bill to End Canada's Commercial Seal Hunt”, “Senate: Vote YES for Credit Card Reform!”, “Shell: Stop Gas Flaring Now!”, and “Protect Yellowstone's Newborn Buffalo.”
Relevant to Divine Misconceptions:
- “Turkish novelist on trial for insulting Islam”: More Islamic intolerance, this time author Nedim Gürsel’s The Daughters of Allah being accused of blasphemy. One would think that after The Satanic Verses that Muslims would learn that raising a huge fuss over a book is free publicity... That latter book is so bad that if it was not for the fatwa against it, few people would have bothered reading it. I wish Gürsel great prosperity at the expense of his government’s intolerance stupidity.
