This is all the more disturbing following a similar recent incident in which a video conference with Salman Rushdie at a literary fair had to be called off. Behavior that is rewarded is repeated, and society will be poorer for it as dissent becomes physically dangerous. "After Muslim protests, Kolkata…
All totalitarian states have an edge of comic-opera absurdity, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is certainly no different. "Cardboard cut-out Ayatollah Khomeini tours Tehran," from the BBC, February 3 (thanks to David): As the countdown to the 33rd anniversary of Iran’s Islamic revolution gets under way, a cardboard…
Fox News Detroit ran an incredibly irresponsible, unfair and biased piece on TV last night (video above), along with a similarly flawed news article. The thrust of both is that the Mokdad family is angry about our Jessica Mokdad Human Rights …
