Reality

By razib on November 6, 2008.

A Muslim blogger who I am acquainted with, Tariq Nelson, has been threatened:

To the coward that called from a BLOCKED NUMBER and threatened me! I HAVE CALLED the police and I am PUSHING HARD to FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE and I will prosecute to the fullest extent possible! Apparently you know of me in some way or know someone that had my phone number. I am not going to tolerate your BS for one second and I will NOT allow you to harm me or my family.

I am posting here so that everyone will know that I am receiving these threats and that a phone call is too close to home. I want people to know that in the event that anything happens to me or my children they will know that I have been receiving threats.

You will NOT intimidate me into stopping my message or achieving my goals.

And these are supposed to be "Godly" people???

H/T Aziz.

Mothering for Money
Most of the comments people make about our slightly changeable and somewhat odd family are lovely.  Like all parents my husband and I love hearing how beautiful our kids are, how well behaved (even when it isn't always true), how nice it is to see us all together, what fun it is to see a big family…
