Okay, the Catholics had a protest prior to the Krewe Du Vieux’s parade concerning some imigary back in 2005.
Screw them.These pious cries from the same org that destroyed Late Antiquity Rome, stifled science (since their “Book” was the freakin’ end all.), waged war against the Muslims… the Crusades (Muslims who kept Science alive), and then proceeded to burn my people alive because we were of the Old Ways, honoring OUR Goddess … had to decide the management of the New World and who was “fit to be enslaved” by their dictim of the Twelve Tribes.
As you can see, I’m not really inclined to support your garbage protest. Your kind killed my ancestors, and I will not go quietly into the Dark Night until I have returned the favor.
Get the Hell out of our city. St. Joan is all we need. (and the Faeries.)
Remind me not to get on your bad side, Morwen.

Great post. But I have to correct you- the Muslims did not keep science alive. The Arabs did. Islam actually suppresses science, much in the same way the Catholic Church of the Dark Ages did.
Algebra was created pre Islam. Very pre-Islam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra
Arabs preserved the Great Library of Alexandria, but many scholars blame it final destruction on rampaging Muslims. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_at_Alexandria
Yes Arab lands were the height of civilization when Europeans were still using lead plates for dinner-ware. But the introduction of Islam quickly killed of the scientific curiosity of the Islamic world. Much to the detriment of humanity.

Actually Peter, you are exactly right. I was on a tirade and forgot to review history.
Thanks for setting me back on track.
