The killer of Salman Taseer for blasphemy in Pakistan, a fellow called Qadri has become a hero among young lawyers in the country. They showered rose petals on him when he was produced in court and 1000 lawyers in Rawalpindi and Islamabad have signed their support in Qadri's defense. The Paki army has stayed silent on the killing and mullahs refused to lead prayers for Taseer's funeral. Iran has banned girls from wearing jeans, long nails and tattoos in college. Iran has also banned books by Pablo Coelho. In neighboring Iraq, officials have closed down shops selling alcohol and clubs serving alcoholic drinks so dancers have moved to the north in areas controlled by the Kurds where the government has issued licenses to clubs and bars. Algerian army is battling islamists who call themselves Al Qaida in the Maghreb while Yemen is the home of the Al Qaida in the middle east. Somalia has its Al Shabab which has been fighting the government for control of the country. Lebanon has the Hezbollah which has just withdrawn support from the government because a UN tribunal is likely to find them responsible for the murder of Rafik Hariri. Iran and Syria have been supplying arms to Hezbollah in Lebanon which apparently has stockpiles of more than 20000 missiles. As an Israeli official noted during the last war not many countries in the world have so many missiles. Nigeria just had riots between Christians and Muslims in the city of Jos and in Sudan the south is voting to escape the clutches of the Muslim north. Wherever there are more than 100 Muslims in the world there is bloodshed. India has 200 million. What hope is there?
