How do you solve a problem like Sharia?
Hardline Islamic violence is threatening to spread to Pakistan's capital.
Hard to tell how real this threat is, but with Musharraf already under assail by the centrists for the firing of Justice Chaudry, this is another very sticky problem for a very wobbly Musharraf.
A hard-line cleric said Friday that he was setting up a religious court here in the country’s capital, and threatened suicide attacks if the government did not enact Islamic law and close down brothels and video stores within a month.

Dadgummit, Mike, now you've got me hearing that headline singing all through my head, and I can't get it out. Please refrain in the future from all references to Lerner and Loewe musicals.
If you really want to be compassionate to the unusually musically sensitive, you can add Rodgers and Hammerstein to the list also. Thanks.
