Legislating by the sword

Now they're dictating which laws are acceptable now...

"An Iraqi militant group has kidnapped two French journalists and given the French government 48 hours to end its ban on Muslim headscarves in school, Arabic television station Al Jazeera said Saturday." (more...)

First it's demanding troop withdrawals, now it's amending laws... What's next?

Update: Sir George just covers this so much better than I could in my delusionally stupidly tired state.
