Some may write this off as just another act of extremists but mainstream Pakistan edges ever closer to what many would call extremist acts. Witness the widespread support for the assassin recently convicted of murdering the provincial governor. The governor's crime? Speaking out against a blasphemy law used largely against religious minorities, often for reasons that have nothing to do with religion but more to do with revenge, personal grudges or business disputes. Yet it was estimated that over 100,000 people demonstrated publicly to support the assassin! These are people who believe it is justified to kill one's sister or daughter to preserve family honor. When the society at large allows these types of violent acts to garner widespread public support, why should they be shocked by mass bombings?

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
