Saturday Links

It's Holy Saturday and the end of March.  Here are some things going on (with my own two cents thrown in):


From The Blaze, the Parkland kids have caught the attention of a very loud NRA member.

From The American Conservative, a discussion of religious literacy and brown M&Ms.

From NPR, 100 Iranians seeking asylum in the United States are still stranded in Austria.

From BizPac Review, self-appointed anti-gun crusader David Hogg appears to have boosted sales at Arby's.

From BBC News, the United Kingdom's top police officer blames violence on social media.

From Voice Of Europe, almost 75 percent of the children in Antwerp, Belgium have a migrant background.

From the Express, French President Emanuel Macron warns that artificial intelligence could threaten democracy.  (Have the Cylons arrived yet?)

From Reuters, Italy protests the entry by French police into an NGO-run clinic that cares for migrants.

From Flanders News, Belgian police detain 74 transit migrants in Zeebrugge.  (I don't know precisely what is meant by "transit migrants".  Are these people trying migrate through Belgium as opposed to those attempting to settle there?)

From the Evening Standard, mourners pay their last respects to Stephen Hawking, led by an actor who once portrayed him.

From Deutsche Welle, German officials defend using a former U.S. military base as a reception center for migrants.

From Breitbart London, two captured members of the terror cell led by "Jihadi John" complain about losing their U.K. citizenship.  (Get out your smallest violin and play something for them.)

From Sputnik International, Greek legislators prepare a bill to speed up their country's asylum processing.

From Russia Today, the U.N. Security Council meets over the recent Israel-Gaza border clash.

From The Express Tribune, a Pakistani couple were allegedly killed for marrying against their families' wishes.

From Fox News, Turkish President Erdoğan prays at the Hagia Sophia.  (This building was originally a church, was later a mosque, and is currently a museum.)





From MSN, an Atlanta Braves sideline reporter suffers a fractured eye socket from a foul ball.
