This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
Joseph Mayton: Egypt's glass house - Grand Mufti Ali Goma'a has attacked the Swiss decision to ban minarets, but Christians in Egypt aren't allowed to build churches - '...Goma'a and other prominent Muslims failed to grasp the hypocrisy of their attacks on the Swiss population. Calls for a boycott of Swiss banks – which haven't picked up much steam – show how lost the Arab world is at times. They can lash out at a decision made in a foreign country, but they have yet to stand up for the rights of their own people in their own country. Until they do so, the glass house they live in will continue to be chinked away piece by piece until all semblance of authority has dissipated.'
Hi Joseph,
I found you on the web. Doing research on Col. Joseph Mayton, b. Russia, served in WWII. Any clues to his history welcome.
