I am beyond disturbed by the fact that there is so much hatred being spewed by so-called "Christians" and "Americans" regarding the new TLC show All-American Muslim. Every single article that discusses the "controversy" about the show is inundated with anti-Muslim remarks in the comment section. People are very nasty, threatening, openly and ( Read more... )

Last night a massive hunt began for dozens of "exotic" animals that were released from a local "sanctuary" right before "owner" Terry Thompson killed himself.
