Muslim adviser speaks on controversial book
- Continued from p. 1
"The point I want to make is that Muslims should read the book, reflect on it, then act." Lang said "But act within the laws of the country they have chosen to live in."
Lang said that if Muslims decided to start killing people for mocking Islam, they would have to kill several thousand people in the United States.
Muslim Mosque in Washington,
Sadeg Masoud, Dammam, Jordan,
senior, said that Lang had expressed
the real feelings of Muslims.
After hearing Lang speak, Jane Budde, Lawrence resident, said that compared to what she had read, Lang's was the most reasonable Muslim voice she had heard.
Lang said that Rushdie did go too far with his book and that Muslims were correct in feeling the need to protest it.
Hommad Abdual Rahman,
Kuwait, graduate student, said most of those who disagreed with Lang were Irianians.
"This issue is a political problem inside Iran and they want to rally the people." Rahman said. "The Iranians only represent 10 percent of the Muslim population."
the latter "While some Muslims may disagree (with Lang), the majority will agree with him." Masoud said.
"They have the right to protest it, but not to kill somebody over it," Rodgers said.
Bammi said.
Tim Rodgers, Tecumseh junior,
said he thought Lang's opinion was
more rational than Khomeini's.

"We have holds for people who have requested the book," she said. "Holds will be filled on a first come, first served basis."

Farmers go whole hog on Bush's favorite snack
The Associated Press
NAHUNTA, N.C. — Even in good times, it's hard for Southerners to trash anything that comes from a hog, hence the presidential snack, pork rinds.

"You don't throw nothing away," said Larry Pierce, manager of the Nahunta Pork Center. "You use everything from a hog but the squeal."
County hog farmer and one of the largest pork producers in the nation.
Pierce, who produces pork rinds, thinks it's great that Bush prefers them with Tabasco sauce.
Hogs provide hams, pork chops, bacon and sausage. Their feet are pickles; the intestines are used as sausage for sausage, the tails are used for seasoning and the hide ends in fancy drives gloves. Hush Puppy shoes and President George Bush's favorite munchie.
"It's the finest food substance available on the planet," said state Sen. Wendell Murphy, a Duplin
Gun control a state issue if bill passes
The Associated Press
But opponents of the bill warned lawmakers that such a measure would bring back the frontier days, with people being allowed to shop, drink in bars and in restaurants with guns strapped to their sides.
TOPEKA - A bill that would allow the Legislature to pre-emptify local control of firearms drew support from the Alliance Rifle Association representatives.
Bob Dowlat, deputy general counsel of the NRA, told the committee that 35 states had enacted laws giving states full control of firearm regulations because lawmakers concluded that a uniform approach is better than a "patchwork guilt" approach to local ordinances.
the Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs is considering a bill that would place all regulations of firearms in the hands of the Legislature.
The bill would nullify local municipal ordinances that restrict carrying guns in public and require delays in purchasing guns. But Sen. Ed Reilly, R-Leavenworth, committee chairman, said amendments would be considered later, keeping some of those restrictions in place.
"I believe the state Legislature has the ability to best judge the control over firearms laws," said Augustus Dale Sanders of Berryton.
Lawmakers' judgments on firearm regulations would be best for hunters, collectors and competitive shooters.
But opponents, including city officials and police chiefs, said the law encroached on local control and violated the principle of home rule.
"If this bill was to pass, it would allow almost anyone to carry a firearm," said Derby Police Chief Delbert Fowler, representative of the Kansas Peace Officers Association. Imagery graffiti wrapped to their side, walking down the street, shopping at a store or riding around in vehicles."
He said police officers were confronted with too many people carrying guns without making it legal for almost anyone to carry one.
Jim Kaup, representative for the League of Kansas Municipalities, said local conditions varied from city to city and local ordinances regarding handguns also must vary.
