Blast hits Iraqi 'sex cinema'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3136808.stm

An explosion has ripped through a cinema in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, killing two people and injuring up to 20 others. The cinema was showing a pornographic film at the time of the explosion, witnesses said.

Islamic militants are known to oppose what they call "immoral" movies and have attacked some cinemas in post-war Iraq for showing them.

1. I wonder when the "Christian" fundamentalist I live near will start doing

this. We've got a group called "Citizens for Community Values" they do stuff like getting local prosecuters to file felony charges against hotels that show pay per view porn.

6. Christian fundies oppose pornography, too.

They've even been known to bomb perfectly legal establishments whose services they consider to be "immoral."

Finally... common ground.
