This just in, fanatical fundamentalist group attacks a person with whom they disagree at his place of worship-- a vile, cowardly, and religiously motivated act-- gunning down the doctor who ran a local Women's Health Center in cold blood.
This is the Taliban, only they speak English, and use the term "Jesus" rather than "Muhammed." One way or another, they're invoking the name of a bearded Middle-Eastern man who lived nearly two thousand years ago as they sow mayhem and death among the innocent. And promote intolerant, misogynist, anti-intellectual, and paternalistic policies they want adopted in society from top to bottom.
Is Kansas really the new battleground for two competing Middle Eastern mythologies? When will we finally outlaw religion? In Iran this week, the authorities were able to apprehend, try, convict, and execute by public hanging the perpetrators of a mosque bombing (basically the same crime) within 36 hours of the crime being committed. I wish the justice could be nearly as swift in this case. It's sad, just sad.
