IRAN THE MODEL - CHINA



A NTY story entitled Online Throngs Can Impose a Stern Morality on China is troubling not only because it reminds us of the nature of grassroots Chinese activism but because in includes the following paragraph:

Others denounced the university for not expelling him, with one poster saying it should be"bombed by Iranian missiles." Many others said the student should be beaten or beheaded, or that he and the married woman should be put in a"pig cage" and drowned.

The reference is to a married woman (quiet moon) who may have conducted an affair with a student (bronze mustache). Perhaps the Chinese should chill and embark instead on a"misyar" marriage of the type just announced Kosher by the Grand Imam of Malaysia.
