A majority of Swiss Voters gave into racist Fear-Mongering and voted to ban Minarets. Guess even the Swiss are prone to cowardice. Or at least enough of them to pass this law. So much for Proud Traditions of Fearless William Tell, standing up against the Austrian Empire. Is Courage no [...]
Think you know the saga of the deleted scenes from Monty Python’s LIFE OF BRIAN? Not if you trust Wikipedia. The 1979 comedy didn’t just take the mickey out of Jesus and the feuding Palestinian Liberation fronts, it poked good fun at Zionists, as goose-stepping racists [...]
