The only thing that disturbs me is that it seems she was prosecuted only because she WROTE about extreme Islamic issues. Was she accused of inciting terrorism? or aiding and abetting terrorists? I know that many people believe that such writings should be punished, but is that what is happening here? I know, I know...we Americans are so snotty about civil rights and the freedom to express ourselves, yet we are involved in an internationally unpopular war in Iraq. But...was this woman really prosecuted simply for what she said...or worse, for what she believed?! |
