The Rant

   Muslims are using British libel laws to limit what is said about Islam, terrorists and the people in Saudi Arabia.   In England, a person sued for libel has the burden of proving what is written is true, rather than the reverse as is true in the U.S.   Marc Steyn has been sued in Canada by Muslims in a "Human Rights" court that has so far granted 100% of the petitions filed.   The book that he is sued for "America Alone" pointed out that Muslim populations are growing faster than non-Muslims, and that if the trend continues, Muslims will be a majority in the near future.  In America, such lawsuits would be forbidden by the First Amendment. In Britain and Canada, this is not true.  As a consequence of such lawsuits, all American major publishers have refused to publish a book on the Muslim Brotherhood, for fear of such "libel" and "human rights" lawsuits.  So much for free speech in America. 

     Benazir Bhutto, the only female head of an Islamic country, educated at Oxford and Harvard, has been exploded by Islamic "extremists."   Pakistan is armed with nuclear weapons, and appears to be slipping down a path towards anarchy, as the military backed government seems to be losing the support of the people.  Thousands of Bhutto's supporters have taken to the streets, burning vehicles and attacking police stations in an explosion of violence against the government.       Hopefully, the "religion of peace" will step in and put out the fires of violence.  However, it has not been able to prevent her father being hanged by the military, nor her brothers to be killed, one poisoned, one shot. Her husband spent seven years in prison.   Pakistan is an Islamic country. Where are the forces of reason, of moderation, of justice, of peace?  Why does it seem that only violence rules this blood soaked land?  

  Pakistani opposition leader and former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto was killed in a gun and bomb attack after a political rally in Rawalpindi.     New article .   At least nineteen people were killed in the attack.   Bhutto, like her Father, was educated at Oxford.   She was unusual as a woman serving as a political leader in a Muslim country.   Story of her life in words and pictures here .
