Quote:Most didn't notice the new library at this Islamic seminary for girls near Pakistan's capital, until locals saw the paper sign in Urdu posted on its wooden door: "Library of Osama bin Laden, the Martyr."
Cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz, a radical preacher who runs the Jamia Hafsa madrassa, wanted to honor the memory of the al-Qaida leader, killed in a May 2011 raid by U.S. Navy SEALs on his hiding place in Abbottabad, a garrison town about 125 kilometers (75 miles) north of the capital, Islamabad.

There's a mosque in nearby Aston, in Birmingham, now called the Jamia Masjid Mosque but which used to be the Saddam Hussein Mosque. At least they decided to change the name once it fell out of favour, unlike these guys who want to do the exact opposite.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I pass it quite often on my trips to Brum on the 51 bus. Small world, eh?

Really? Which part of Walsall, may I ask? Just wondering if we might have been neighbours!
