This is surreal

Reader comment on item: Atiq Malik, British Politician, Calls for Stoning Adulterous Muslim Women

Submitted by NG Lynd (United States), Mar 13, 2009 at 16:00

Does anyone else feel like things are getting surreal? This is right up there with the textbooks in VA that supposedly said it was ok to stone adulterers. They just got around to revising them. Or the ACLU finally deciding to move in relation to the public, tax-funded charter school for Muslims in Minnesota. It just feels surreal, to hear someone in the west say something like this. But then so did the beheading, and of course Wilders actually being brought up on charges for criticizing religion, the crazy UN docs circulating right now, and to top it all off, the extra-spectacular moment when Wilders couldn't get into Britain.

I think that things are getting worse, most of these incidents are relatively recent and closely packed together. Or maybe I just haven't been paying attention?
