Climate of Fear Part 38
Dozens of people all over the world have been killed in violent protests over some cartoons of Muhammed the newspaper Jyllands-Posten published. (people being murdered over cartoons still sounds stupid no matter how many times I read it) My climate of fear postings are limited to polically/viewpoint motivated crime in the US so I have not included any here. Until now. The Muslim cartoon violence has spread to the US. The Gallup Independent newspaper had its office windows smashed, probably in retaliation for publishing the cartoons:
Someone shattered The Independent's glass entrance doors late Wednesday.At about 10 p.m., an unknown individual threw a pair of fist-sized rocks at the doors, which caused the glass to shatter but not break. The rocks were covered in black marker with the phrases "public apology or else?" "think twice" and "repent, condemn or else?"
