Actually today there are two. Remember would-be shoe bomber Richard Reed? His Muslim extremism means he feels little sympathy with Christians, according to letters he's written from prison: "He asks his father whether he has been praying five times a day, and says his aunt could not have reached heaven if she died while believing in Christianity. "What you wrote about Aunt Lynn being in a better place, you should know that while Allah is merciful and forgiving, this applies only to those who upheld His rights, at least at a basic level," the newspaper quotes him as writing." (Christians who suggest that Jews will never go to heaven receive heavy criticism--and they ought to receive such. So where is the criticism for radical Muslims who suggest the same thing about Christians?)
And then there's continuing news from Eastern Michigan University. Remember what happened there? A student was raped and murdered in her dorm room, yet for months the university claimed there was no foul play involved--until a couple of months later, when a student was arrested and charged with the crime. The president of the university was eventually fired by the Board of Regents for the cover-up. Well; so last night EMU's former president, John Fallon, went on Larry King Live. He claims it wasn't his fault; that he was lied to concerning the case by the Vice President for Student Affairs, Jim Vick. But hey, Mr. Vick has said in the past that it's not his fault, either--he says that the university's director of public safety, Cindy Hall, didn't tell HIM all the details. Meanwhile, Fallon makes dark references to reports being shredded without his knowledge, shadowy conspirators, etc etc. Er...well. Within two months of the student's death, there was an arrest. So there was an ongoing police investigation of what happened. Fallon knew nothing of this? Really? If so, then he didn't try very hard to find out what was going on. This is a case of a whole bunch of people shamefully failing to take responsibility.
