Kill the Messenger!!

Over in Sudan, people are clamoring for the government to give the death penalty to a journalist who "review[ed] a 500-year-old Islamic manuscript which says that the prophet Mohammed's father was not Abdullah, as Muslims believe." That's all. He didn't make it up or invent anything. He just showed everyone a 500-year-old document that people were happier to forget. Kill him! Apparently, "Islamic Sharia law in place in Khartoum requires the death penalty for such an offence."

So which of you was complaining about the U.S. system of law and government?
