"Mustafa Sabri, spokesman for the Qalqiliya municipality, said the ban was democratic because it reflected the wish of the majority." ------------------------------------- I don't believe it is the 'wish of the majority' but even if it's true--that's not democracy.
This article reminds us that there is a cultural civil war going on in the Muslim world. I suspect that there ARE many others who feel the same way this guy does, but live-and-let-live moderates tend not to form armed militias.
I wasn't the only one who saw this and thought verybdog said "anti-warts," right? dog, I think the word you're looking for is "pacifist."
