February was a short month for religion in the news. Muslims made their annual migration to Mecca. In Mina, they stoned the devil and the devil got its revenge. A U.S. court found that the Pledge of Allegiance is still unconstitutional. In jail, privileges for Presbyterians were brought to an end. In India, Hindus went on the rampage against a dead saint. In England, the Jedis took fourth place, coming in just behind the Hindus, and just ahead of the Jews. Jet-setter Salmon Rushdie wrote a letter to a child unborn, poked fun at religion, and irritated the U.N. General Secretary; his death sentence was renewed. The Bush administration continued its theological tight-wire act high above the secular land below, advancing beliefs and causes not held by long-dead saints.
