A man has been accused of executing an Italian hospital nunn in Somalia. Should this man be brought before a Sharia court for trial?

1) Yes
2) No

We often hear the entire world should live under Sharia law. It is already the law of Somalia, if I am not mistaken. Let us observe the judicial procedings in this Sharia ruled nation. Fair enough?

Yes, Sharia Law a la Henry VIII (hung, drawn and quartered) for any "man" who shoots a gentle nun in the back.  Even cowboys don't do that!

Yes, he should be brought up on trial.  Shariah, Secular, Tribal, does not matter as long as its fair.  Even the guilty deserve fair trials.  And who ever is captured should be assumed innocent until evidence is brought forth as proof. (including reliable witnesses)

Yes.  I might add a proviso, however, which in this case is admittedly impracticable.  Because of a bias on my part, I should like to see Al-Ghazali rather than Ibn Taymiya preside.

Serv - RE Colonies

I heard someone say many people in Africa would vote for the colonialists if the colonialists would only stand for election. I don't THINNKK so! Sort of reminds me of the Peter Sellers(?) movie The Mouse That Rourd.

In that movie if I recall correctly, people in a make believe third world nation conspired to start, and then lose a war with the US so they could become prosperous. Lets see if history bears this out in Iraq! We could ask the Vietnamese to handicap the point spread!

Please, EJDavid, the term, �colonies,� loaded, as it is, with such negative connotations and carbuncles, is politically incorrect and just plain pass�.  As my above signature �or slogan for the neo-revolution- implies, I much prefer the newer if little-known term for colonies, �trusteeship territories.�  That, �trusteeship territory,� sounds like a much kinder, gentler, �thousand points of light� type of colonization.

I don�t know about Africa (Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa recently gave a rather scathing indictment of post-apartheid South Africa), but I, for my part, and speaking as a citizen of the American colonies but also as a somewhat confused and oft-times frustrated neo-loyalist, would sometimes prefer the rule of King George III to that of would-be Emperor (i.e., �President�) George W. Bushette the Youngster and his foreign policy-making entourage.

I�m all for life imitating art, but, to me, the parallels in this case seem at best inexact.

Good one.  By the way, how are things progressing with your rabbit-chasing, Columbian neighbors?  You haven�t given us a situational update so I can only guess that all is relatively quiet on the Appalachian Front?

Serv - Re The Appalachian Front.

First, the guys claimed to be from Peru, not Columbia, and both the cop and I recognized Eastern European accents. My father's first lanquage is Hungarian, but that was not the accent. In additon, my best childhood friend's family spoke Check, and that did not seem to be it.

Further, I lived in Chicago for more then a decade, and the Polish accent did not seem correct. Finally, I spent time in Romania, and this did not sound like that either. Accordingly, by simple process of elimination, that leaves only a few: Bulgaria or Albania, perhaps?

I simply did my Homeland Security duty, and reported clearly suspicious people. Have not seen them since. Maybe they are at Quantanamo?

Thanks for the situational update, EJDavid.  Who knows?  Maybe they fell into a rabbit hole?  It could also be that, though you couldn�t recognize their accents, they were cosmopolitan gypsies, not exclusively from Rumania, whose antennae were raised to the dangers of living too close to members of any given volksland with a suspicion of auslanders?
