* Just when his (self imposed) censorship on his blog made him look ridiculous he comes up with some surprising stuff:
A German judge who ruled that the Koran permitted a man to beat his wife – and so turned down a Muslim woman’s request for a divorce – has been told she got the religion all wrong:
