Sir,

IMHO, it is up to you to blog whatever view that you deem fit, especially those affecting society. To me this is just not worth blogging because I certainly do not feel in the intellectual sense it is pervasive in Muslim societies worldwide.

Perhaps you ran out of idea for time being.

I view it as a social phenomenon which can be extended to other situ: an IDF soldier shoots first & ask question later, a man mad about something spray bullets in a shopping mall, a buddhist monk in Burma burns himself as a sign of protest ... so are you saying mental disorders or deranged minds are confined to a certain social group only?
