The Religion of Peace - Again

AP, 12/11/07, Baghdad

Religious vigilantes have killed at least 40 women so far this year in Basra because of how they dressed. Their mutilated bodies were found with notes warning against "violating Islamic teachings".

In nearby Saudi Arabia a young woman was sentenced to 200 lashes after being gang raped by 7 religious thugs for sitting in a car with a man who is not a relative of her's. Her original sentence was 90 lashes but was increased to 200 when whe appealed the 90.

In Sudan, a motherly British school teacher was sentenced to 3 months in jail plus 90 lashes for innocently allowing her 4th grade students to name a teddy bear Mohammed. She served some of her time in jail but got no lashes after being pardoned by Sudan's President after indignant outcries from around the world could not be ignored.

These are merely the latest from the religion of peace and tolerance. Allahu Akbar!
