SIDELIGHTS:
Linda S. Walbridge told CA: "I am an anthropologist of religion, specializing in minorities in Islamic societies, notably Muslim communities in the West and Shi'ism. I was in Pakistan when a Roman Catholic bishop committed suicide in protest at the blasphemy law, which provided the subject for my 2003 book."
