Koran Burning Florida

The “Koran Burning in Florida” problem continues, and today is the scheduled day for this act that has already been condemned by many notable names, including president Barack Obama. Afghans have protested burning a USA flag, so imagine what will happen if Terry Jones plans continue as planned.

Obama called the plan today a “recruitment bonanza for al Qaeda,”. While other Christian pastors have distanced from Terry Jones saying that they do not condone the action, and it doesn’t represent Christ at all.
Jones has said that he would reconsider his request if he gets a call from the White House, so this is starting to look like a hostage situation…
But Jones is not alone.  A copycat named Rev. Bob Old of Springfield, Tennessee has also announced similar plans for Saturday, and adds that he will upload a picture of the event.
“If they want to have their religion, they can have it somewhere else,” said Old “I believe that other religions are a threat to our faith and our beliefs,” Old is the head of an evangelical ministry called Disciples of Christ.
How do they think this act of hate will help in any way?

Colorado Wildfire: 169 Homes Destroyed!

The Colorado wildfire that spread over the last few days has continued its destructive path, bringing down 169 homes according to latest reports.  Earlier on today, resident were allowed to temporarily go back to their homes, while firefighters are making progress in controlling the fire.

“The wind event tonight, we could be off to the races,” said Rob Bozeman, field observer with the Boulder Mountain Fire Protection District.
The wildfire affected around 3,500 people who had to spend four days away from their homes while the Colorado wildfire took everything from them. Lack of information for them didn’t help them, and some of the residents managed a way to reach and check their homes.
The change in weather still makes it impossible for people to stay in their homes, so they are taking advantage of this opportunity to retrieve any important belongings they might have inside.

Stem Cell Research Allowed to Continue by U.S. Court

The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington put today a hold on the ruling by District Judge Royce Lamberth who banned stem cell research funding. This is a research that involves human embryonic stem cells.

The ruling by Lamberth was announced last month, following information that the research would involve destroying human embryos. Obama had hoped research to continue in hopes to find new cures for different diseases with the new information.
“The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the merits of the emergency motion for stay and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion,” the appeals court wrote in its decision.

Lady Gaga is being accused by Yana Morgana of stealing the “dark side” of her daughter, singer Lina Morgana, who committed suicide in 2008 by jumping from Staten Island hotel.   The mother claims that Lady Gaga collaborated with her daughter before she became a pop icon.

“I’m doing this because I want to keep her spirit alive. Lady Gaga is holding Lina’s soul, and I want her soul to be free.”
Yana also adds that the Gaga of that era didn’t wear the kind of clothes she now shows everywhere, including lingerie and wigs. But she has now embraced the style of Lina to become famous.  The woman is not seeking money or to sue Gaga, but only wants the music of her daughter to be known.
