Today I was told that having a disdain for religion/faith is tantamount to prejudice. Problem is, I did not pre-judge religion. It’s not like I didn’t know what it was when it occurred to me that I dislike it. Just look at all the hateful things people justify with their faith/religion. I’m not pre-judging this idea, I’m simply judging it.

Source: shortformblog.comOne year after bin Laden’s death, how done is al-Qaeda? Depends on who you read.
So, when looking up stories on the upcoming one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death, we noticed a bizarre trend: None of the stories seemed to agree with one another. Some seemed to suggest al-Qaeda was basically gone. Others suggested that they were still planning major terror attacks. Seeing this, we got an idea: What if we scored the stories based on the done-ness of al-Qaeda, from 1 to 10? Because one wire service’s “in ruins” is another national newspaper’s “far from defeated.” Check the results above, and take one major point from this: Not every story has an agreed-upon answer.
