Relevant Free Market Terrorism

I'd like to point out that it did take until 2011 for these guys to figure this one out: "In 2011, Campus Crusade for Christ in the United States changed its name to Cru, a shortening of 'Crusade', since many members already refer to it as Cru for short, and also due partially to avoiding the negative connotation of crusade from the historical, bloody Crusades (particularly to Muslim communities) and that much of the organization's work was no longer limited to college campuses.[2]" That quote might be one of those sentences providing a glimpse into the wars of information being waged on Wikipedia. The "since many members already refer to it as 'Cru' " clause was particularly curious.

    At some point, goddamn Middle America is going to have to wake up and wrap their heads around the majority religion of the world. I just hope we do it in time.

Yeah man. Me too. :/
