NEWS: French President Nicolas Sarkozy has told the French Parliament at Versailles that there is no place in France for the Islamic burqa (a female garment which covers the entire body, including the head). Sarkozy says that the burqa is a symbol of the enslavement of women.
France already has a 2004 law which bans crosses, veils, and other religious symbols from public and government buildings. France's Muslim community is the largest in Europe.
NEWS: Rabbi Schmuley Boteach, billing himself as Michael Jackson's spiritual advisor, says that Jackson (d. 25 June 2009) told him that he never felt "innocent" even as a small child because of all the grasping, manipulative, and amoral people who constantly swarmed around him. Boteach believes that Jackson exhibited an extreme self-loathing which led to his misuse of drugs and his extensive plastic surgeries. The rabbi says that he told Jackson that what he needed was an change within, not a new face, a new album, or another concert tour.
