POPSHow Myth Endures This refers to urban legends (more specifically the mistaken belief that humans only use 10% of their brains), but it seems to me that it applies much more widely, especially in matters of religious faith, religious conversion (muslims converting to Christianity, for example), etc.

POPSTattoos Gone Wrong! Oh dear… In line with various sites which display gross incompetencies in Hebrew tattoos, I found this picture of a woman with the Arabic word for family tattooed on her neck… But written left–to–right instead of right–to–left! Oopsie…

POPSZoroastrianism & Islam This made me sit up and take notice. One of the more hellish Islamic tales that did the rounds while I grew up featured the person having to cross a razor–sharp bridge.

POPS“Muslims proud to be British” Interesting. A recent Gallup poll has shown that muslims in London feel far more integrated than a lot of the ‘native’ population!
