And if by “reporting” you mean my post, boy, are you in the wrong place. I don’t report the news. I just snark at it.

Is there any reason that I should trust this kind of reporting?

Funny how America’s Muslims don’t have to hired armed guards on their holy days. At least, they don’t have to protect themselves from Jews.

At my synagogue, we routinely have off-duty police guarding the building. And the town doesn’t pay them–the synagogue pays them. I don’t know why this makes me mad, but it does.
