Reflections on Elections, Politics, Violence (pt 1)
I'm assuming everyone has read/heard about the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. One interesting reaction, however, has been from Irshad Manji, a Canadian Muslim Feminist (that I had the good fortune to hear speak some time ago), who has not taken the easy route of glorifying the dead.
