I am now waiting with bated breath for the outbreaks of violent street protests and riots staged by Christians around the world, demanding for the CEO of British Airways to publicly apologize for offending Christian sensitivities. Perhaps there might be sporadic killings from this outrage too.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Link:</span><br /><a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/10/14/europe/EU_GEN_Britain_BA_Crucifix.php">British Airways employee says she was sent home from work for wearing cross necklace</a>, International Herald Tribunebeowulfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05157229724513921193noreply@blogger.com
