WWN presents....

"Saudi Girls' School defies clerics with basketball -- paper" -- Reuters story in Jordan Times, 25 April 2012

"IDF rejects religious soldiers' request to wear earplugs during ceremonies when women sing" -- Jerusalem Post, 24 April 2012

Please note: The word "women" is used when reading the Jordan Times story, which in fact refers to girls. This is because I was too lazy to transcribe from the newspaper article, but copied and pasted the text of the Reuters story into my script. At some point an editor must have changed the word 'girls' to 'women' and I didn't notice the change. Sorry for the confusion.

actually potholer that is exactly what we did in Israel as a response to that case (This wasn't an isolates case). Simultaneously in several cities we organized woman singing in the streets.

I like the WWN idea and would enjoy future editions.

Yikes. I bet the Saudis don't allow the poor girls to use tampons, either!

I agree. The WWN is quite informative.

You don't have to be religious to believe. Faith is not a synonym of religion.

"Every time I think that religion can't get any more ridiculous - it gets more ridiculous."

Quote of the day.

Actually, potholer, you can lose your virginity playing sports. Every time the England football team play, they get fucked.

Every time I think that religion can't get any more ridiculous - it gets more ridiculous.

The only aspect of religion that I would welcome would be the end of days - wipe out our ludicrous species for the good of the planet.

Nice one, Peter, yours is a true service to rationality.

Im amazed there is no racist "jew" talk here. It seems everywhere I go on youtube there are people hating on jews.

I am glad to see that your audience is actually mature enough to discuss wacky religious traditions without having to demean an entire group of people to hate.
