Indian court lets off minister who put bounty on Danish cartoonists
"Unfortunate," yes. But not all that out of line with what they believe, evidently. From AFP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
NEW DELHI - An India court on Monday rejected demands for action against a lawmaker who put a bounty of 11.5 million dollars on the heads of Danish cartoonists who drew controversial images of the Prophet Mohammed.
A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Y. K. Sabharwal described as “unfortunate” the offer made by Mohammed Yaqoob Qureshi, a minister in the Uttar Pradesh state government, last month.
The court, however, said it cannot “entertain” such appeals and suggested the petitioner, Vijay Kumar Tiwari, register a criminal complaint with the police against the firebrand Muslim politician.
Qureshi told a Muslim rally after Friday prayers last month that he would give “the avenger” 510 million rupees (11.5 million dollars) and his weight in gold....
Denmark last week agreed indefinitely to postpone an April 2 visit by Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen after New Delhi reportedly warned the trip could rekindle protests in India, home to 130 million Muslims.

New FAIR Study: U.S. Population Will Hit 500 Million by 2050 With Amnesty
Depending on what Congress decides to do about immigration - curtail it, expand it - the United States is facing a future population just 45 years away that could vary by more than 135 million residents. The difference between the highest and the lowest of the scenarios represents the population size issue that Congress and the administration should be focused on as the debate on immigration policy develops this year. If a guest-worker amnesty like the Specter bill passes this year, U.S. population will top 500 million by 2050. State by State population projections are also available at FAIR's site in the research section. Click the extended immigration data page for your state and then the link for population projection.
