From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Three cousins from Hayward have been charged in San Francisco with a hate crime and assault for allegedly firing a BB rifle at the face of a man they believed was gay, an attack the men videotaped, authorities said Wednesday.

Hmm. “Three cousins from Hayward,” huh? Mormons opposed to gay marriage? Knuckledragging rednecks insecure about their own sexuality? But no. Instead, a little touch of old Amsterdam comes to the city by the bay:

Mohammad Habibzada, Shafiq Hashemi and Sayed Bassam, all 24, are scheduled to be arraigned today in San Francisco Superior Court.

Meanwhile, the Scottish Sun reports from Dundee:

A MUSLIM leader has blasted a pub for using the name of holy city Medina – branding it an insult to his religion . . .

“Blasted” it, I hasten to add, only in the rhetorical sense.
