Bigot Alert

Adam Smith does a great public service by scanning in most days the more nutty or idiotic letters to the editor. Today’s one is simply bigoted.

Talking of the Middle East, Little Green Footballs highlights a Jerusalem Post column where Caroline Glick states:

Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seems to have noticed.

On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari’a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion.

Now this has not been reported in any media outlet, so maybe Ms Glick has it wrong. But one would hope all those reporters and journalists are checking out the veracity of the claim that Hamas has voted to legalise crucifixion.
