What happened to the pictures? Exhibit A, Exhibit B
Will they ever come back? Yes and no

"Imperealist"

I have to admit—it's a pretty darn accurate way to describe people like me. From the picture, the sign reads:

Five Years AMERICAN Imperealist Possession on
IRAQ is a Humiliation of Huminity & Mankind


You'd better keep your huminity safe from we dastardly imperealists!

Update: The Tanveer brothers are at it again. One of the two wire services involved here is getting ripped off. I'll let y'all figure out which one I think it is—though, for the record, Khalid does seem to be the better photographer of the two. Assuming there really are two of 'em.

Why bother checking for spelling and grammar, when all one needs is rage?

Pakistan is blazing with protests today over the Danish cartoons. Still. Which makes this 1 month of non-stop raging, essentially over some random ink on paper.

Incidentally, we Christians have seen far worse abuse than this piddliness, but you don't see us burning everything we can get our hands on to protest.

Why do you suppose that is? Continue reading »
 

Happy (Raging) Kashmir Day!

February 5 marks the day that Pakistan celebrates "Kashmir Day," which we're told is a day in which everyone marches in the streets in "solidarity" with the "freedom fighters" in Kashmir and their quest for "independence."

Of course, by "freedom fighters," we mean "terrorists."

Oh, and by "independence," we mean "annexation by Pakistan of a non-Muslim-majority territory." In fact, from what I understand from an Indian friend who grew up in Kashmir, it is some of the most fertile land in all of India—Which, of course, explains why the Islamic supremacist rabble in Pakistan feel so compelled to annex it.

With all of that in mind, let the day's festivities (and RAGE!) begin!

Aww shucks, linkage from The Anchoress? Always a pleasure, ma'am! Continue reading »
 

"Sir" Salman Rushdie: A Thoughtful Reaction

Here is a round-up of the calm, collected, and very in-depth, well-considered Pakistani Islamist response to the knighting of Salman Rushdie (h/t lgf):

Pakistan's religious students burn effigies of Queen Elizabeth II and author Salman Rushdie condemning the knighthood award to Rushdie in Multan, Pakistan, Sunday, June 17, 2007. Pakistani lawmakers passed a government-backed resolution Monday demanding Britain withdraw the knighthood awarded to author Salman Rushdie, condemning the honor as an insult to the religious sentiments of Muslims.

Of course, some will say that this will inflame the anger of the Middle East... but then again, when is their anger not ablaze?

________ stirs up Muslim anger

"Jihad is the hump of Islam."
Yeah, it's not really news, but the Pope's speech seems to have sparked Muslim protests world-wide.

More pleasantry from the Religion of the Perpetually Offended. Keep your eye on this article—I'll be posting the photos from these protests as soon as they come across the wire. It always seems that Muslims spend the entire year preparing to protest, much like lefties, so I'm confident that we'll have some spectacular material here soon!

The basic premise of modern Islam? "Think like us, or we'll kill you."

Find a picture in any paper that depicts a Christian like this.
There ya go. It truly is "the religion of peace," isn't it...?

UPDATE 16:11 EST: It seems that Hamas has joined the party. The sycophantic press, of course, is doing their best to present the protesters as helpless, unarmed civilians. We know better, though. Also, Confederate Yankee has noticed the "Hump" sign, and found it as amusing as we did. Continue reading »
