This morning I opened my email box and received the news of the death of a journalist in Pakistan. The man who wrote was a personal friend of Mukarram Khan Atif. In his note, the stress of the assassination of his friend was accompanied by expressed fear for his own life.
What kind of world exists in the mind of men such as Osama bin Ladin and the Taliban? Let me refresh your memory.
* It is a world where women leap from windows to their deaths with flames at their backs.
* It is a world where women are beaten in public with the approval of a crowd of men and boys.
* It is a world where a man is punished for theft by roping him onto the tread of a tank.
He is crushed with mechanized force.
* It is a world where poppies buy weapons.
* It is a world where windows are painted so that women cannot look out.
* It is a world where free speech is punished with acts of assassination.
* It is a world where reality mirrors hell.
