Islamic Law & Order

From Michelle Malkin: Free Muhammad Al-Asadi. Malkin discusses a Yemeni newspaper editor facing a potential death sentence for publishing those Danish cartoons (he covered them with big black X’s and condemned them, too, but that doesn’t seem important to the prosecutors). Here’s the part I really enjoyed:
Lawyers leading a civil case against publishers of the cartoons - in addition to the public case - cited precedents from Muslim history when the prophet was insulted by a woman and then praised her killer.
Yes, you read that right. Yemeni lawyers, today, are citing legal precedents from the 7th century. Not only that, but they are pushing for a death sentence. And monetary compensation. Islamic law rules!
Needless to say, Yemen is not high on my list of vacation destinations.
