You know there is something terribly wrong with the world when...

... an artist hitch-hicking, dressed as a bride, to promote world peace is murdered in cold blood. Story here

What makes it worse is that she was murdered in a country whose population is 99% Muslim (at least on paper).

Out of all the horrible things that happen every day, this particular story shook me. What is happening to our humanity?

This lady was just trying to make a difference. I do realize that there are innocent civilians that die unjustly every day from hunger, crime, wars... but somehow this is different.

How much lower can we sink?

Italy to try Tunisian for wearing burqa to trial

The wife of a Tunisian imam serving a 10-year jail term in
Italy in connection with a terrorist plot will herself face
prosecution for attending his trial in a burqa, Italian press
reports said. Monia Mzougi, 37, is to be tried under 1975 public
order legislation barring people from wearing clothes that conceal
their identity from security personnel "without a valid reason."

The trial is to begin next January 30 in, northern Italy, and
Mzougi faces a maximum of two years in prison. Mzougi's husband
Mourad Trabelsi was tried in Cremona in September 2005 for being a
member of a radical Islamist group that was plotting to attack the
city's cathedral. The leading daily Corriere della Sera reported
that Mzougi's case is the first in Italy concerning the wearing of a
burqa.
