No More Fanaticism as Usual

I admire Rushdie. Fortunately not everybody is silent about Nigeria:

How much more suffering under Sharia penal legislation?

Several Northern States in Nigeria have introduced new Sharia Penal Legislation. Thus, they opened the door for the application of death sentences, torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading punishments. This despite the fact that Nigeria recognises human rights standards and has signed and ratified many international human rights legal instruments.

Now here is the voice of moral courage. Hats off.
