Anniversary of the beheading of St John the Baptist

Is it today? Please say no :o

Well alas it was 2 days ago August 29

dang!

Damn you missed all the celebrations. Hey atleast we can celebrate this holiday. They killed a kafir didnt they?

Well actually he was a prophet wasn't he? Who was foretelling the coming of Jesus (pbuh) but then again I could be wrong. Whatever if the site admin had been doing their job properly I would know all this, just like raakhi and sikh temples and stuff, honestly these people are so selective in their diversity and inclusion drive!

So they killed a good guy? Man...that aint right...There should be a banner to commerate this incident. We need more banners.

Yes well, it's pretty inexcusable innit. Why if we don't remeber all these interfaith days and have banners for them what will become of GS! We'll be lablled as some anti-any-religion-but-Islam website!

And for that I have nothing but zero tolerance.

Can you explain something about the beheading of John the Baptist please Thap I'd like to learn more.

Well you see Xtreme I didn't know about raakhi until our esteemed admin gave us some insight, interfaith holy days are alas not my strong point but I am endeavoring to find out more and to try and be more inclusive wrt to getting attention to such rituals on GS.

I think some sort of banner rotation and guest speakers from different faith communities on GS would be a start, as we speak I am working on getting a Wiccan and maybe a druid (don't hold your breath on the druid though he's recoveroing from a minor nasal passage operation) to post some insights and pictures if possible.

Let's all do our part, maybe you could volunteer for the john the baptist illumination?

Just stuff on John the Baptist would be nice Thap, I'm not really interested in the rest of the baggage. Don't want to divert the topic after all. :)

Xtreme as a moderator I think it would show real leadership and intergration for you scout around and try to set an example on this one and enlighten us a little.

I think I've done my job of raising the inital awarness, but I'm hungry for more now and alas don't want to taint the pot so let's have a minority faith member step in and have a go if you're not up to it either?

Thap, if you have anything worthwhile to add to this post, please let me know. :) I won't allow you to kick start a mudslinging match here.
