Abducted Sudanese Journalist Found Dead

Installment #198 ROP chronicles....

EL FASHER, Sudan, Sept. 6 -- A Sudanese newspaper editor who infuriated Muslim fundamentalists last year by printing an article that concerned questions about the parentage of the prophet Muhammad was found dead Wednesday in Khartoum, the capital.

Masked gunmen abducted Mohamed Taha, editor in chief of Al-Wifaq, from his home Tuesday. His decapitated body was found Wednesday in another section of the city. His head was beside the body, and his hands and feet had been bound, the Reuters news service reported.

Compare with Western society, when our religious icons are insulted we protest, they riot then murder.
