Extreme caution advised!

Here is (OK, "was") a gentleman among religious who wished his Christian customers a "Happy Easter".

But that got him killed:

Muslim man killed in Scotland after wishing a Happy Easter

A tolerant Muslim himself, the shopkeeper was murdered by.....wait for it.....

LONDON — Scottish police say the killing of a Muslim shopkeeper who wished Christians a happy Easter is being investigated as “religiously prejudiced.”


Vigils were held Friday and Saturday in memory of 40-year-old Asad Shah, who was killed Thursday night in Glasgow.


He had apparently posted messages on Facebook calling for religious harmony: “Good Friday and very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation x!”


Police say a 32-year-old man has been arrested in connection with Shah’s death. The suspect, who police say is Muslim, has not been identified or charged.

Trump is hot in Mexico...

Mexicans ring in Easter by setting Donald Trump effigies ablaze
Sunday 27th March, 2016 - Mexicans rung in Easter this year by burning effigies of U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump protesting his anti-immigrant comments.

His comments were met with a huge backlash in the south of the American border and as a reaction to the comments, several people gathered in Mexico City’s La Merced to witness his burning effigies.

Hundreds of angry witnesses saw the papier-mache mock-up of the real estate tycoon, sporting a blue blazer, red tie and his tuft of blond hair exploding in flames and screamed ‘death’.

The burning is reportedly part of a Mexican Holy Week tradition where several neighborhoods burn effigies to represent Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ according to the Bible. Reports added that the effigies are often modeled on unpopular political figures.

Trump had recently made a statement that irked Mexico, claiming that he would vow to build a wall along the southern U.S. border to keep out illegal immigrants and drugs, and to make Mexico pay for it. As a reaction, the Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has compared Trump’s “strident tone” to the ascent of dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

I said "Happy Easter" all day long to people yesterday. Didn't have any problems. No one tried to kill me. But yeah, that is really, really fucked up. Religion has got to be the FURTHEST thing from "peaceful." Brainwashed people who think they are doing "God's work" are danger to us ALL.
