In more news from the Muslim world, Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly refused to distance himself from comments he made in a sermon comparing women to meat.

All this news of fundamentalist Islamic intolerance is very disheartening as is the flagrant anti-Amerca-ism (sorry, my vocabulary can be quite lacking) in the Middle East. What do you guys think of Blair's ban on the niqab?

The poisoning of a Russian dissident
The shooting of a Lebanese Christian politician
This is what a culture of death gets you. Persuasion by assassination. Change by force. Good times, good times.
