( Indonesia ) Isn't it amazing how offended Muslims can get over something they haven't a clue about? 99.99% of the idiots who wanted Salman Rushdie dead for his book 'The Satanic Verses' can't even read English.

[JURIST] The Brazilian Supreme Court on Wednesday voted 5-to-4 to extradite former Italian guerrilla Cesare Battisti back to Italy, but left the final decision to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who granted him asylum earlier this year.
