Protesters angered by the planned burning of a copy of the Quran stormed the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad early Thursday, breaking into the compound and lighting a small fire.

        Saying religion is cancer is not quite as provocative as burning a religions holy text on the statehouse…. But me saying religion is cancer is just me expressing my religious belief.

        A satanist just existing is provocative to some Christian’s. But if we are going to have freedom of religion, I have to be free to say that your sky daddy is a toxic stain on humanity.
