According to the Associated Press, Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said Sunday.

"For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us," Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican's yearbook.

He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population - a stable percentage - while Muslims were at 19.2 percent.

US, Iraqi Troops Capture High-Ranking Aide to Sadr

Fox News has written an article about the capture of a high ranking communications aide to Sadr. The link is in their name.

Prime Minister Maliki appears to be ready to rid Iraq of all militias. I shall remain cautiously opinistic. If you read the article, you will find that it was the Iraqis who took charge in this fight with the USA supporting them. I'm proud of all our men.

If you can no longer find this link, try this one. Have a wonderful day everyone. Keep your powder dry.

Sevan and Nadler charged with Fraud: Oil for Food

Fox News has an article on the indictments of Kofi's son and another man: Over Bribes From Saddam's Regime. Sevan is facing 50 years maximum time in prison and Nadler is facing 112 years imprisonment.

Specifically, the two were charged with wire fraud, based on their depriving the United Nations of its right to Sevan's honest services; bribery concerning an organization — the United Nations that receives more than $10,000 annually from the federal government; and conspiracy to commit these offenses.

If convicted, Sevan would face a maximum sentence of 50 years' imprisonment. Nadler, who was also charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud by engaging in prohibited financial transactions with Iraq and violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, would face a maximum sentence of 112 years' imprisonment if convicted.

It is about time something was done about this. This has been reported about for almost decade. Sevan is thought to be in Cyprus.

The hands of Justice move so slowly, it causes one to wonder if it is truly just...

Nazanin Fatehi Cleared of Murder Charges

This is great news. Back in 2005, Nazanin (Iranian) and her 15 year old niece were attacked by some men who wanted to rape them. She did the only thing she could do. She stopped them.

There was an outcry because her niece and herself were sentenced to be stoned to death. It did not matter which side of the political spectrum you feel more comfortable. This is a no brainer. Innocent people do not deserve to die.

Maybe some of the pressure being put on Iran by the world is having an effect?

Saddam hanged: Video

If you would like to see the video, go to HotAir.com. You can see him dead, but it is kind of dark and foggy when he is hung. You will be able to see him dead.

If you are interested, here are some links and articles written for the build-up to this devils destruction:

• Commentary: Saddam hanged.
• Death Watch: Saddam to face Allah.

Have a good day.

Update: You may want to click on some of the links provided by HotAir. It goes from serious to ridicuous. After all, some know evil when they see it, others never will...

Update 2: Again, I was too quick to write. There are a few more articles that you may interest you. First we have one from a commenter named "Mo" at Wizbang. He leads us to The Jawa Report. Of course no article is complete, when using bloggers links, without that of Pajamas Media. I highly recommend Pajamas Media for an everyday viewing. Another favorite is Little Green Footballs who also has the same video.
