Religion's Divisive Nature
Proof that religion can be as divisive for some as it is peaceful for others is more than obvious in the blogosphere today. Evidence ranges from a Londoner's Sunday visit to Westminster Cathedral (today's No. 2 most-cited blog post) to coverage of a Somali Muslim cleric's calls for the Pope's assassination (today's No. 2 most-cited news story).
In fact, half of today's most-cited news stories among bloggers mention a variety of religiously-themed issues, including coverage of the death of a nun in Somalia, linked to the Pope's comments about the Muslim world last week, and continued anger among the Muslim world, even after the Pope apologized.
Keep paying attention
Today's most-cited news story, curiously, details the re-construction of Iraq and the requirements to get an admission ticket.
