Are the Muslim Islamofascists fruitcakes the craziest people on the entire planet?
Why is such a large portion of the world desirous of going backwards? What do they think will happen to the world with all of their primitive beliefs and practices?

It doesn't take a whole bunch of people to enforce edicts like this in a chaotic place like Iraq is right now. That's the big advantage of being a terrorist.

Who knows how much support they really have from the populous? The article states that originally the street peddlers laughed off the threats indicates that it is not much.
