The US government makes forecasts about future use of energy sources, and they repeatedly underestimate growth of renewable energy.

How much renewable energy is used in the future depends on government policy decisions. Thus, these forecasts are to some extent a self-fulfilling prophecy that we will stay on the road to disaster.

Baltimore thugs arrested 49 children, of whom 39 should legally have been released.

The US will investigate racist practice of the Baltimore thug department.

The US labeled a prominent journalist as a member of al Qa'ida because he interviewed some of them.

The prosecution of the murderers of Farkhunda may mean a step forward against the oppression of women in Afghanistan.

However, the reaction disregards the fact that this murder was an instance of religious intolerance as well as an instance of misogyny. To say that killing Farkhunda was wrong because she didn't in fact burn a Qur'an is to suggest that it would have been ok to kill her if she had done so.

Burning a Qur'an is anyone's right, just like burning a Bible, a copy of the US Constitution, or a copy of my writings or your writings. This is what freedom of speech means.

We must be careful not to legitimize religious intolerance for a religion that is deeply entwined with misogyny.
