hole in the ice, here’s a link to keep the blood circulating:
“Spain Sentences Imam for Book Offering Advice on
Wife-Beating.”
The Imam’s defense lawyer contends that his client was wrongly sentenced to prison
for encouraging violence against women. Why? Because he was merely following Islamic
teaching. “Freedom of expression wasn’t the right argument, it was freedom of religion that had to
be protected,” he said.
Ain’t religion grand? Hell, the Imam isn’t a total brute. He urged husbands “not to hit their
wives on sensitive parts of the body” and to be gentle enough “so that the blows don’t leave scars
or bruises.”
Here’s a link to get the brain working, “No
Road From Munich To Iraq,” by my favorite historian,
Gerhard Weinberg: It’s an old article, from before the invasion ordered by our Maximum Leader.
But it’s typically knowledgeable, thoroughly enlightening and not a bad corrective to dumb
thinking.
And if you didn’t believe what I said yesterday about blabbermouth blogging, check this out: “Breakfast
With Cereffusion” (third item down, Jan. 13), the saga in words and
photos of a blogger’s breakfast “in the world-famous Friendly Toast restaurant.”
Not incidentally, why is it so damned cold here in the Northeast? Blame it on California.
