the biggest cross in the world


a few weeks ago, the right winger and i went to eat hummus in nazareth. he showed me around a bit and gleefully told me that the christians of nazareth are hoping to construct the world's largest cross at the tip top of the city, upsetting nazareth's majority muslim community. a few days later the story appeared in the press and i found the image accompanying the articles to be absurd and sort of hilarious. though i've never been one to knock extravagant religious imagery, the fighting and tensions that ensue over things like this are much less appealing. i thought i'd share.
