A front-page story to my liking would be MOSLEMS DYING BY THE THOUSANDS DAILY.

Phil, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moslem#Pronunciation_and_spelling
>>Until around the late 1980s, the word was commonly spelled Moslem. The spelling has since fallen into disuse. Muslims do not recommend this spelling because it is often pronounced "mawzlem," which sounds somewhat similar to an Arabic word for "oppressor" (Za'lem in Arabic). The word is pronounced "Mus"-lim in Arabic, but some English dictionaries allow both "Mus"-lim and "Muz"-lim. The word is now most commonly written "Muslim".<<
Every day on FStDT, I find ten more reasons to asplode (which, by the way, is equal to a decaexplode) with laughter whenever anyone asserts that Christianity is a religion of peace and tolerance. In fairness, I do know some very nice, tolerant, competent and intelligent Christians, but
a) these kinds of guys make up for all of that, and
b) most of the other guys are devout Catholics.
Anyway, the whole matter of Catholics is almost a rant in itself for a couple of reasons, so I'll be done for this comment.
Well, there is about 700 million muslims in the world, so i'm pretty sure thousands are dying every day, for all sorts of reasons.
You know what would be to my liking? Wolfcounsel fed feet-first into a deli slicer.
(Moslem: Older spelling, now obsolete. Probably not recommended, but...)
Commonly cited estimates of the Muslim population in 2007 ranged from 1.1 billion to 1.8 billion, indicating that thousands of Muslims died of various causes every day.
