>>How strange that you would think the business
about entitlements inflammatory but not the
business of Radical Islam destroying the West.
Maybe the West is getting the Muslim hillbilly
segment? The Middle Eastern versions of Ma and Pa
Kettle or the Clampetts who load up their trucks
and banjos and move to Londonistan?
Of course, judging from the post below, the
hillbillies are all over the place, many in
powerful ones.

More Insanity About the Cartoons
Last month, I mentioned the cases of several Arab
editors who are facing charges for daring to print
the infamous Jyllands-Posten cartoons. Yesterday,
the BBC reported that Yemeni editor Muhammad
al-Asadi is now facing the death penalty for his
actions, which is absolute insanity.
The English-language newspaper has had its
licence to publish suspended, although its staff
have continued to produce material online.
Prosecutors reportedly requested that the
Yemen Observer be closed permanently and have its
property and assets confiscated.
The paper's website reported that the
prosecution lawyers cited precedents from Muslim
history when the prophet was insulted by a woman
and then praised her killer.
I'm curious about this bizarre hadith, because the
one I know of reports the absolute opposite
reaction. Specifically, it cites the case of a
woman who always waited for the prophet as he
walked out of his house to preach, in order to
throw garbage at him and insult him. When she
failed to show up one day, the Prophet went to
inquire about her health. So clearly whatever
story they're relying on is not the same one I've
heard. Proof, once again, that you can use
religion to back up just about anything.
