The Biggest Threat to the Modern World

It's a bit ranty, but this pretty much sums up my feelings... (and I won't spoil the punchline)

I will, add, though, that I don't believe military force is necessarily the solution (as this video seems to imply). I still think a diplomatic solution is possible, if BOTH sides are willing to compromise, back off the "us versus them" mentality, and settle for less than world domination.

Even Moderate Muslems Behead People...

A Muslem man who created a cable TV station with the aim of showing people there were reasonable, moderate Muslems out there beheaded his wife for filing for divorce.

Ahhh... the irony here is rich and juicy!

"Honor killings" are actually nothing new among the Muslem community in the US and Canada... this one only made the national news because of the man's high profile. (It's quite common for fathers to kill their daughters for not wearing the head scarf when they reach that "rebelleous teenager" phase... it just doesn't get much media attention.) I can only hope this raises awareness of the practice so something will be done to put a stop to it.
