Today is the day where all of my work is either due, or it has already been due at some earlier time. As I sit here eating away at my candy I recieved for Valentine’s Day, I realize that this is really the first day this week I can sort of relax; that […]

Islamic response to Danish cartoons only strengthens stereotypes
0 Comments Published February 8th, 2006 in PoliticsThe situation that has arisen from the Danish cartoons has spiraled out of control.
