  • RE: Joys of Muslim Women – more debunking

    Another relative (not my uncle this time), sent me the email below, but (I think smartly) asked me if it was accurate.  My response follows the email: This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim. This is not heresay, and it will scare the life out of you. Make sure you read…

    Toren, whether he wanted to or not, got to watch a lot of World Cup soccer (as that’s pretty much all I did in my free time during June and July). You can see him sitting on his improvised soccer watching seat in this photo: Turns out those hours and hours of exposure to soccer…
