#1 I'm fairly sure that this policy will be "revised" and fairly soon at that. I can't imagine China wishing to look quite so authoritarian with all those wealthy Westerners in town.

No doubt they'll be keeping a close eye on the locals, tho.

#2 I would bet your communist handlers that the Koran is still allowed.

#3 The bit about banning cups was strange.

I tried looking on the internet for the actual list without luck. If anyone happens to find it, it would be worth posting or at least a link to it.

#4 Too bad none of our politicians will have the grit to threaten a boycott over Beijing's Bible Ban. It would be a perfect platform to drive home the message of religious freedom that needs to be crammed down Islam's gullet as well.

#5 Spot on, Zen! What an incredible idea. We should see if someone can pick that up as a rally cry in order to force the politicos here to run with it.

#6 Too bad no one at the USOC has the grit to have the Olympians march in to the tune St. Gertrude.
