Faith Alive

practical islam
1. Down with this sort of thing… Saudi woman beats up virtue cop.

2. That’ll learn him! (1) Pakistani barber trims Muslim man’s beard. In retaliation, a mob breaks his ribs, wrist and legs… and then rape him.

3. A Mormon checks in to a hotel. As he’s leaving the front desk, he says to the clerk “By the way, I hope your porn is disabled.” Read the rest of this entry »

FAITH ALIVE

Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland Archbishop Giuseppe Leanza

4. Southern Baptist pastor prays for the death of Obama.
5. Ultra Orthodox Jews riot in Jerusalem over the opening of a car park on Sabbath.
6. Finally, after a two year campaign of harassment by the mischievous spirit, a Saudi family is taking legal action against an unnamed genie in a religious court.

2. Self-harming satanist. This, I believe, is what is referred to on the internet as a: FAIL.
3. One from the archives. Saudi religious police prevent schoolgirls from fleeing a burning building because they’re not wearing proper Islamic dress.
4. Finally, Frank Sinatra: homosexual menace.

[UPDATE: ICCM website was down yesterday, now working again. Well worth checking out, very The Day Today-esque.]

FAITH ALIVE

1. American evangelicals are taking on Hollywood at its own game. “C Me Dance” is the debut picture from faith-based production house Uplifting Entertainment (see trailer above).
