- Progress of sorts. Been waiting for a demonstration of moderate Muslims? Here's one! Tens of thousands of Turks showed up in support of a judge slain for upholding secularism. (The bummer is, the law he upheld forbids head scarves in Turkey. Scarves, we're talking, not abayas or burqas. He certainly didn't deserve to be shot for upholding his nation's laws, but I don't know if I precisely count this as a demonstration in favor of religious freedom).
- In Iran, a teenage girl's going to hang for slaying her rapist in the process of self-defense. Help save her by visiting here.
- Karen hill people are being tormented by the Burmese.
- Illustrating the point I made in the previous post about equality versus multiculturalism: Australia's having a hard time prosecuting Aborigine pedophilia because it respects Aboriginal "customs" (many of which are revolting, read at your peril).
- And yet, this is what we teach our kids in public schools.
UPDATE: Iran's making Jews & Christians wear armbands to indicate they aren't Muslim. UN response? Denounce Gitmo. The price you pay for taking the UN seriously is it focuses all its energies on you. If they focused on Iran, Abombnjihad would respond with a letter to Kofi.
