Baby Girl born with 2 Faces....

This may sound like something out a Stephen King novel:

Baby with two faces born in Northern India.

She's only a few days old and already a baby girl in Northern India is being worshiped as a reincarnated god.

The newborn is unlike any other child villagers have seen before — she has two faces.The girl was born on Monday at a hospital in the suburbs of Delhi, according to the Daily Mail.Since then, people in her rural village have been singing and dancing — offering money and asking for her blessings.The parents are hoping the government will help with medical treatments needed for their baby girl in the future.For now though, both mother and child are healthy and doing fine, according to a doctor at the hospital.

Swastika Handbags: New Fashion Statement?

If you are looking to boycott a company for antisemitism, Zara fashion is your man. In a move that is totally outrageous, they are selling handbags featuring swastikas. I'm actually surprised there isn't more outrage in the news about this story, only blogs seem to be discussing it for the most part. One blog claims that in India where these bags are supposedly manufactured, the swastika is actually an ancient religious symbol for Hindus and Buddhists and represents sun, strength, and good luck to many groups around the world. I guess it's not so strange that swastikas where found on a line of bed linen there?This has got to stop!

Nazis in India?

Well not exactly but antisemitism is everywhere even in India where a line of bedspreads entitled the NAZI collection was discovered. The brochure featured swastikas and the promoters attempt at PC was that NAZI stood for "New Arrival Zone of India". Thankfully after some protest by the Indian Jewish Federation the name was removed. India is not unfamiliar with this form of hatred.
Last year, a restaurant in Mumbai -- home to around 5,000 of the total 6,000 Jews in India -- changed its name from "Hitler's Cross" following similar complaints.
