In Ireland, a new report has identified hundreds of victims of child sex abuse by Irish Catholic priests. Church authorities had identified between 400 and 450 people that allege they were abused by one of 152 Dublin priests since 1940. Unfortunately, this may just be the tip of the iceberg according to the archdiocese spokesperson, "I would like to stress that that is a very conservative estimate and is likely to rise."
In Utah, 21 felony charges have been filed against a former Mormon seminary principal accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old female student. Michael Jay Pratt, 37, was the principal of Lone Peak High School's Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seminary. The church terminated him as soon as the allegations surfaced. Oh, the irony.
In Thailand, local police are blaming Muslim insurgents for drive-by shootings that killed three civilians. Last month, at least 36 people were killed and more than 100 wounded in violence in predominantly Buddhist Thailand's only Muslim-dominated region.
In England, a married Arabian princess who had a baby with her British lover has been granted asylum because she fears she will be stoned to death if she goes home. As we all know, the punishment for adultery in Sharia law-abiding Saudi Arabia is being stoned to death. Last year, Sharia courts sentenced 102 people to this inhumane punishment.
