Delhi gang rapist interview: Minister promises inquiry.

Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh has promised an inquiry into how a TV crew gained permission to interview one of the Delhi gang rapists on death row.

He criticised the film in parliament, saying it should not be shown in India. A Delhi court has already blocked the film, made for the BBC and NDTV.

Sadly, and I do not say this lightly, there are many far right-winged, extremist, fundamentalists (mostly men) who would read this and nod along in agreement. While they might not resort to burning someone or killing someone, the fundamental tenet that women have no value other than to serve and have babies is there. Their need for dominance is there. We read about it all the time. It's in the background all of anti-abortion/birth control/women legislation.

While I don't fear that Sharia law will ever become the "norm" in N. America, those who follow it wouldn't have to twist the arms of people I described above very much to get them to buy into that or at least form a "Christian" version.

Not much difference between Islamists and Christianists. The only thing protecting us from them here is the law. Were they to suceed in overturning the laws that protect us we'd be in the same position as the victims of the Islamists. Harper is trying really, really hard to get there with his legislation. Read the details and you'll see.
