An active evil - The Fourth Reich

HARDLY a day passes without Western sensibilities being challenged by barbarisms carried out in the name of extreme and violent Islam. 

Just yesterday, on the day she was buried, police admitted that a 27-year-old Afghan woman who was beaten and set on fire by a crowd of men in central Kabul in broad daylight last Thursday because they believed she burnt a copy of the Koran, was totally innocent of the charges made against her.

Leaving aside the principle that a person is innocent until proven guilty, the lynching of a young woman in a capital city, as police officers looked on but did not intervene, points to a dystopian horror that we can barely imagine.
