(((Huh. The Foley scandal, the Reverend Haggard scandal, and now a Jerusalem gay march succeeds in outraging humorless and oppressive Christians, Jews and Moslems all at the same time. Maybe I should have been taking gay politics more seriously.)))

Organizers cancel gay-pride march in Jerusalem
By Dion Nissenbaum
McClatchy Newspapers
"JERUSALEM — Jerusalem's lesbian and gay community has unintentionally succeeded in doing something that has eluded the world's greatest thinkers: Unite the three major monotheistic religions.
"Orthodox Jews, conservative Muslims and prominent Christian leaders are united in their opposition to a gay-pride march in Jerusalem, a city that's holy to all three religions.
"The pope called for today's march to be canceled. Muslim leaders criticized it as a disgrace. Orthodox Jews organized weeks of violent demonstrations. Jerusalem police warned that violent opposition could lead to tragedy and urged Israeli leaders to call it off."
