Saturday Links - Part 1

As with last week, I start making this post a bit late after watching an early football game.  Other than a full slate for the NCAA, here are some things going on:



From The Washington Free Beacon, more on Bob O'Rourke wanting to take your guns away.










From The Straits Times, Singapore seems to vanish in the haze.





From the Colombo Page, a U.N. envoy urges young Sri Lankans to lead on climate change.  (I'm pretty sure that China has an embassy in Sri Lanka.  A protest in front of it would be a decent start, in my not-so-humble opinion.)

From The Hans India, Indian security forces in the state of Chhattisgarh kill two Naxals in a gunfight.  (Go to Wiki for an explanation of who Naxals are.)



From India Today, a Sikh leader calls the fee for pilgrims to visit the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, Pakistan a "jazia".  (A gurdwara is a Sikh house of worship.  The Gurdwara Darbar Sahib is in Pakistan close to the border with India.  For more on "jazia", which is rendered "jizya" when transliterating from Arabic, go to The Religion Of Peace.)
