TOP STORIES:

THE POPE & ISLAM:

• “KASHMIR CITY SHUTS IN PROTEST OVER POPE’S REMARKS” – Reuters – The Washington Post – The Washington Post Company – Arlington, Virginia, US – 18 September 2006
• “U.S. MUSLIM GROUP [COUNCIL ON ISLAMIC RELATIONS (CAIR)] URGES MORE DIALOGUE” – United Press International (UPI) – United Press International, Inc. – Washington, D.C., US -18 September 2006
• “RUSSIA’S PUTIN CALLS FOR RESTRAINT IN POPE-MUSLIM CONFLICT” – Mos News – MosNews.com – Moscow, Russia – 18 September 2006
  [NOTES: I hope one of my readers will correct me if I’m wrong, but the picture that accompanies this article looks like a photoshop of Putin in long white hair, long beard, and a white robe. If that’s really him being mocked in the photo, I just have to say that it’s solid proof things have changed at least a little in Russia in regards to Freedom of Speech Issues — I would imagine this would’ve gotten the paper shut-down, and the creator of the picture a long stint in Siberia back in the days of the Iron Curtain.]
