An interesting weekend

The third weekend of October was interesting well beyond the gridiron.

By tradition, it is the national Children’s Sabbath, an event endorsed by Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious leaders. The service is a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of children. It is also a chance to talk about the problems facing the most powerless among us.

The same weekend, a group called The Judeo-Christian View claimed to have distributed copies of the DVD “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” to 325,000 pastors, priests and rabbis across the country. No imams, though.

The Judeo-Christian View says it is a “periodical for clerical leaders”. The multimedia journal is upset with one of the presidential candidate’s stand on abortion, same-sex marriages and, I’m sure, plenty else.

Appears to me it’s an interesting case of inclusion versus exclusion.
