Similar occurrences are occurring elsewhere. In a nativity
scene in Gore Park in Hamilton a man was seen placing Mary
into a sexually suggestive scene with himself, while his
accomplice made a snapshot of the moment. Word is that
they escaped before the local constabulary could respond
to the defilement.
Do you think it is an epidemic of Nativity defilements, as
would be promoted by the likes of Bin Laden ? I think it is
the sort of thing the Al Qaeda would do.
