What
would the U.S. President say if the blacks lynched in America's old South
were referred to as "random folks" or "Americans"?
Al
Shabaab of course has no problem emphasizing the fact that Christians were
being killed because they were Christians: "There are many dead bodies
of Christians inside the building," its spokesman said.
Can
anyone explain why the West gives fanciful excuses for what these killers are
doing, despite their perfectly clear explanations for what they are doing?
Muslims targeting
Christians or Jews means, "don't focus on the motivations of the
Muslims." Muslims defending Christians or Jews means
"desperately focus on the motivations of the Muslims."
People
could at least spare some time this Easter to think about -- and do anything
they can to help -- the beleaguered Christian communities worldwide.
This Easter, the world should spare a thought for the world's
Christians. In Western Europe, this time of year is increasingly secularised,
but in large parts of the rest of the world, people are being massacred
relentlessly because of a faith on which much of the developed world was
founded but now ignores.
A single day this week epitomises the trend. On Maundy Thursday last
week, radio adverts in Britain advertised the Easter retail sales. One advert
said that after "Good Friday," shoppers could be sure of a
"Great Saturday." Elsewhere, as in Kenya, Maundy Thursday will
hereafter have a very different tone.

Do you
support any kind of protest against Islamic laws such as killing in the name
of Allah, stoning, honor killing, lashing, amputating, child marriages, slavery

practices?
"Have
we reached such a stage of intolerance that we cannot listen to one writer
profess admiration for another without wanting to attack her with a brick and
a knife?... If our Constitution is to mean anything, we must ensure our right
to free speech." — Steve Connolly, Managing Director, Penguin Random
House, South Africa.
The
scenario of the rainbow nation has been changing rapidly as Islamic preaching
is fired up in all the provinces.
Do you support any kind of protest against Islamic laws being used in
modern societies? Do you protest against suicide bombing, killing in the name
of Allah, stoning, honor killing, lashing, amputating, slavery, burning
people alive, hijab (Islamic veil for women), child marriages,
polygamy or other extremist Islamic practices?
Or do you protest the people protesting these practices? If so, you are
also at high risk, it does not matter wherever you live.
Take South Africa. The country make up is only 2.5% percent Muslim in a
population of around 50 million. Most Muslims have migrated from distant,
Islamic-minded states. On March 18, Zainab Prya Dala, a South African author
and mother of two, was assaulted at Durban's "Time of the Writer"
festival, after she spoke of her admiration for Salman Rushdie.
The Penguin Random House imprint Umuzi, which published her debut book, What
About Meera, has released a statement saying,
