Dispatch From the Religion of Peace

Via Betsy's Page comes this post by Michael Yon from Iraq. I was struck especially by this odd nugget:

Other AQI edicts included beatings for men who refused to grow beards, and corporal punishments for obscene sexual suggestiveness, defined by such “loose” behavior as carrying tomatoes and cucumbers in the same bag.

It is beyond my comprehension that so-called "Progressives" think it a good idea to turn a strategic middle-eastern country over to men of this prehistoric mentality.
