In Southern Pakistan, an angry mob of Muslims (sadly that phrase is becoming a redundancy) attacked the home of a 60-year-old Muslim woman after a male shopkeeper accused her of desecrating the Koran in his shop. In a scene right out of the Old Testament, the protesters stood outside the woman's house and started throwing stones at it. Fortunately, police took the woman into protective custody before the stone-throwers broke into her house. The accuser claimed the woman disrespectfully flung about pages of the Koran at his store. However, the woman claims it wasn't the Koran she flung to the ground but a book in which the shopkeeper had listed her credit. Either way, I'd like to know how these angry religious mobs, which have become a common occurrence in Pakistan, are able to organize so quickly. Don't any of these nutters have jobs or families to take care of?

Protests at Trouser Trial & The Exorcist Look-A-Like
Protests and Tear Gas Outside Trouser Trial
In Sudan, police fired tear gas at supports of Lubna Ahmed Hussein, the defiant former UN worker who faces up to 40 lashes in public for the "crime" of wearing pants -- or "indecent clothing" as its called in the wacko world of Sharia law. Scores of women protested outside the court, some holding up banners saying "No return to the dark ages". Riot police soon came on the scene and fired tear gas into the crowd to break them up. In the meantime, Hussein's case has been delayed for a month after the judge said he needed to verify if she was immune from prosecution because of her former position at the UN.
200 Arrested in Anti-Christian Violence
In Islamabad, Pakistan, about 200 people have been arrested in connection with Saturday's anti-Christian riot/arson in Gojra that left seven people dead, 20 injured and a Christian neighborhood up in flames. Police said Muslims were protesting an alleged desecration of pages in the Quran at a Christian wedding.

Rip-Off Rabbi Pleads Guilty to $8.5 Million Tax Scam In Los Angeles, a Brooklyn rabbi pleaded guilty to an $8.5 million tax scam that involved charities run by the Spinka Hasidic sect. Grand Rabbi Naftali Tzi Weisz, 61, admitted conspiring to solicit donations that were mostly kicked back to the contributors. The scheme allowed the "donors" to take tax deductions for the full amounts of their phony gifts -- while skimming nearly $750,000. He faces up to five years behind bars.
Rabbi-on-the-Run Arrested in Israel
In Israel, a former Chicago rabbi involved in a scam that allegedly used the stolen IDs of inmates to file for tax refunds was arrested on Sunday night. Marvin Berkowitz, 62, and nine of his family members and associates have been indicted in connection with the tax-fraud ring. Berkowitz and company used the stolen identities to submit fraudulent documents seeking $35 million and caused $4 million in refunds to be issued to bank accounts it controlled. Berkowitz's two sons and his son-in-law are also facing conspiracy and fraud charges.
Jury Selected for Kiddie Porn Pastor Trial
In Waco, TX, a jury of seven men and five women were selected to hear the case against Henry Elbert Edgington, 65, a former pastor who is accused of 10 counts of possession of child pornography. His attorney is using the ole "research" excuse, claiming that Edgington had the porn for “bona fide educational, medical, psychological, psychiatric, judicial or law enforcement or legislative purposes.” Prior to his arrest, Edgington apparently told church members of his crusade to rid the internet of child pornography.
Bishop Warns Priest: Back off from fraud investigation or you will live with nuns!
In Connecticut, a former priest claims a bishop threatened to send him to live with nuns after he hired a private investigator to look into his pastor. The pastor, Rev. Michael Jude Fay, pleaded guilty to a fraud charge and was sentenced in 2007 to three years in prison for stealing more than $1 million from a local church.

And finally...Exorcist Priest Look-A-Like Pleads Not Guilty In Online Sex-Sting
The St. Louis priest who was caught in an online sex sting has pleaded not guilty. Rev. James P. Grady (l.), 57, was arrested Wednesday after allegedly agreeing to pay $80 for oral sex from a 16-year-old girl. I would love to hear this bozo's excuse for showing up at an under aged girl's home in the middle of the night. Perhaps the committed clergyman was there to cast out demons? After all, Grady does bear an uncanny resemblance to Jason Miller (r.) from The Exorcist. Hmmm...

Muslim Mob Goes on Rampage & The Christian MC Who Hates Cops
Muslim Mob Burns Down Christian Neighborhood
In Gojra, Pakistan, hundreds of angry, gun-totin' Muslims entered a Christian neighborhood and started burning down homes. Officials say the attack was incited by a radical Islamist group, who were responding to rumors that some Christians had desecrated a Quran. When all was said and done, eight Christians were dead -- six dying in the fires and two by gunshot-- because there were rumors that some folks destroyed A BOOK.
Devil Told Teen to Kill ParentsIn Gojra, Pakistan, hundreds of angry, gun-totin' Muslims entered a Christian neighborhood and started burning down homes.

When all was said and done, eight Christians were dead -- six dying in the fires and two by gunshot-- because there were rumors that some folks destroyed A BOOK.
In Australia, the trial is under way for a 16-year-old Satanist who allegedly plotted to kill his parents, two school friends and then himself -- because the Devil told him to. On March 25, 2008, the teen killed his father with a 23cm (about 9 inches) knife and repeatedly stabbed his mother. According to the prosecutor, the teen tried to kill his mother because he felt she "deserved it and he hoped she would be a better person in the afterlife."
Suspect in Daniel Pearl Murder Arrested
In Islamabad, Pakistan, police have arrested a man that was suspected of involvement in the 2002 beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. The suspect, Rao Shakir, is a purported member of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a banned Sunni Muslim militant group linked to both the Taliban and al-Qaida. The group has been blamed for killing scores of minority Shiites across Pakistan while its members have been accused of attacks against Westerners.
Cops Dress Up Like Muslim Women For a Day
In the UK, a police exercise which involved female officers spending a day dressed in full Muslim dress has been derided as "a complete waste of time". The charade, which involved two sergeants and a community support officer dressed in full-body Muslim garb and another officer in Muslim dress and head scarf, was part of a diversity training program aimed at helping officers learn more about Islam and the issues affecting Muslim women. Critics of the dress-up day, are understandably angry and bewildered, "'After this are they planning to dress as members of other communities such as Hindus and Buddhists? Because if I was a member of one of those communities, and they had been dressing up as Muslims, I would be asking why not us?"

And finally...It's Hard Out There For a Christian Rapper
In Florida, Christian rapper Illyte (l.), was sentenced to two years in prison for two counts of corruption by threat of public servant. The rhymer's (who's real name is Antavio Johnson) charges stem from a song called “Kill Me a Cop” that was posted on Johnson's Myspace page earlier this year. The ditty includes such Jesus-inspired lyrics as "Call me crazy but I think I fell in love with the sound of hearing the dispatcher saying, 'Officer Down.”
