A new survey report looks at attitudes among Muslims in 39 countries on a wide range of topics, from science to sharia, polygamy to popular culture.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
The bottom line is can Muslims accept the goals of countries like the U.S., which believe in religious freedom, in their dealings with our nation and its citizens and especially if they wish to live here (and in those other countries)? This is in large part the same issue that tore Europe apart during the Reformation. Delete the scoop?

Two new studies further support the theory that our political decision-making could have a neurological basis.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
This is must reading if you are interested in politics. Of course, it may be that the part of the brain we use is a function of how we have taught ourselves to react to life so I don't want to get to het up about the causal implications. Delete the scoop?

NBC's David Gregory and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) butted heads during an interview when the speaker insisted that President Obama did not have a plan to replace sequestration and Gregory disagreed.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Obviously the speaker is trying to force Gregory to cite Article I Section 7 of the Constitution, the one that says all revenue raising bills must originate in the house. Why Mr. Boehner wants this is beyond me since it still means that he is lying. Has the President once said he didn't want to raise revenue as part of the deal? Delete the scoop?

The NRA’s list of gun critics is positively loony, says Michael Tomasky.
Kenneth Weene's insight:
Perhaps it's time for the people who make and sell guns to look at their spokes-organization. They are getting worse then weird. Delete the scoop?
