Hell in a handbasket

Nigerian told she is insensitive to Islam.

A Boston landlord has been ordered to take an introductory course on Islam. As you might expect, the landlord took exception to the order. Now, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court will hear the case and decide whether a lower court judge may order a citizen to take a course on religion.

The landlord, Daisy Obi, is 73 years old. She is pastor of Adonai Bible Center in Somerville, Mass. She is from Nigeria.

One would think the judge who ordered the courses on Islam might have read a news story or two on murderous, terrorist Muslim activities against Christians in Nigeria. One would think the judge might realize that the Christian pastor already has been introduced to Islam.

We should revolt against this kind if thing.

‘Treasury Secretary delays their $10 bill update announcement’

How many treasury secretaries do we have? One. How can one secretary be referred to as “their?”

It was hell, not merely next door.

A website I read several times a week recently had this to say about the Muslim terrorist murderers of San Bernardino:

One of the murderers “brought their spouse back to the US …”

“(T)he foreign national had said they wanted to be a part of (ISIS) …”

“(T)he foreign national used a false address on their application.”

In each case, the writer is focusing on one (1) person. One person may not be a “they.”

I posted a comment on grammar; singular vs. plural; Progressive attempts at making no things different, but all things the same; and refusal by some writers to recognize the pronouns “he” and “she.”

My comment disappeared. Reckon the web site owner doesn’t appreciate criticism. Here at my place, anyone who wishes to criticize is quite welcome to do so. Honest and accurate criticism usually leads to better writing and thinking.
