Two news than are kind of about human stupidity:
Bangladesh's worst-ever factory blaze kills over 100
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...8AN0CG20121125
Quote:
Working conditions at Bangladeshi factories are notoriously poor, with little enforcement of safety laws, and overcrowding and locked fire doors are common. The cause of this fire was not immediately known.
Witnesses said the workers, mostly women, ran for safety as the fire engulfed the plant but were unable to get through narrow exits.
British Islamists to issue fatwa against shot Pakistani girl
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...8AJ0LH20121120
Quote:
A new British-based Islamist group plans to meet in Islamabad to issue a religious decree against a Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban, accusing her of supporting "occupying" U.S. forces.
"There will be a fatwa issued regarding Malala Yousufzai taking into account the full story of her injury including her public statements in support of the occupying U.S. army in the region and mocking of key symbols of Islam such as hijab and jihad," said Abu Baraa, a senior member of Shariah4Pakistan.
