Sharia law trumps U.S. Constitution in Dearborn

with 7 comments

Via AP and PowerLine:

Four Christian evangelists were arrested on charges of “disorderly conduct” for distributing copies of the Gospel of John on a public street outside an Arab cultural festival in Dearborn, Michigan, which is heavily Muslim. One of the men filmed the event and had his camera confiscated, even though he wasn’t distributing the gospel tracts. Both the arrest and the request to stop videotaping are atrocious violations of the First Amendment.

Happy St. George’s Day

leave a comment »

Today is St. George’s Day among Western Christians. It’s celebrated on May 6 by Eastern Christians because they follow the Julian rather than the Gregorian calendar. You can read about my namesake here. Here’s the St. George Cross, which was the flag of England before its union with Scotland. George, it turns out, is the patron saint of England, as well as Palestine, interestingly enough.
