Guess The Real Headline Results Are In

Seven of you guessed correctly. I know these are difficult but the actual headline was...."NYC CAR BOMBER PLEADS GUILTY, CALLS IT "WAR" -- "I CONSIDER MYSELF ... A MUSLIM SOLDIER." And I admit to having a bit of pretend-I'm-Janet-Napolitano-fun and guessed "NYC CAR BOMBER PLEADS GUILTY, CALLS IT "WAR" -- I AM ... A MAN MADE DISASTER." Heh.

New Guess The Real Headline Poll Is Up

I just posted a new GUESS THE REAL HEADLINE poll. Please take a moment and give it your best guess!

I admit this was a tough one, but 9 of my readers are smart enough to recognize my modis-operandi. Unfortunately 2 were not. The true headline came from the International Herald Tribune dated March 21, 2009, now unavailable, but you can google it. "Somali Islamists behead two sheiks". It would seem the Islamists far out number the witch doctors in the beheading department. Makes one wonder which culture has progressed into the 21st century. I'm guessing the witch doctors. Heh.

The verdict on my readers is in and to be honest, I'm a little disappointed. 1/3 think that firebombing is something Mormons and Baptists do. Thankfully 2/3rd of you got the headline correct, proving that you are intelligent. Here's the shocking answer.

Muslims were doing the firebombing. From the Times Online.

The real headline was, "A bishop in the southern Philippines reported receiving a letter threatening him with harm if he does not convert to Islam or pay "Islamic taxes." From the Union of Catholic Asian News. My readers are all so smart. Although one of you, not so much. But, I'm going to assume you just chose German Baptists to be funny, because if you think German Baptists go around threatening people uh, you'd be wrong. From Wikipedia, Anabaptists, which is what German Baptists spring from "inspired a whole generation of Christians to follow the way of Jesus into social action and peacemaking." They are peaceful, not the peace of death like Islam, but the peace of life. But, I can see were the word German might throw some of you.

Sorry, whoever voted that the Hindu religion took offense at the puppy picture. You were wrong. Everyone else got it right and no one picked the Amish. It's almost like people can identify a religion of peace when they see one. Imagine that.

The real headline was "Apology over 'offensive' puppy police advert after Muslim complaints" from the Telegraph of London.
