Drilling Buddha

Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, November 1. 2007 17:23

The culturally superior—according to the British Government, at least—are at it again:

Local resident Sher Mohammad stands beside a sculpture of Buddha its head damaged by militants in Jehanabad, 190 kilometers (118 miles) north of Peshawar, Pakistan on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2007. Militias following Maulana Fazlullah drilled holes into the face of the 7-meter tall stone Buddha, obliterating the features of the 1,300-year-old sculpture. Muslim extremists are expanding their control of northern Pakistan, challenging the U.S.-backed government of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf and adding to the geography where terrorists allied with Osama bin Laden can find refuge. (AP Photo/Mohammed Zubair)

Just think: This is the kind of "tolerance" we're expected to accept these days. Don't take my word for it, though—listen to the world's reaction and judge for yourself:

Pakistani Firestorm

Brian C. Ledbetter · Monday, September 10. 2007 08:49

Interesting things are afoot over in Islamabad today—Apparently, former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who was exiled from the country for 7 years, attempted to return there last night, and work to overthrow the military dictatorship of Pervez Musharraf. Upon his arrival at Islamabad's airport, he was immediately detained by Pakistani police, and deported within hours to Saudi Arabia.

Former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif is arrested upon his arrival at Islamabad's airport September 10, 2007. Sharif was arrested and deported to Saudi Arabia on Monday within hours of arriving home from exile, vowing to end the rule of President Pervez Musharraf. Sharif's return from seven years in exile, most recently in London, was always going to spark a confrontation with General Musharraf, the army chief who ousted Sharif in 1999 and cast him into exile in Saudi Arabia the following year.

His supporters are reportedly still rampaging in the streets. I'll be tracking these photos as they come across the wires, so be sure to check back later for updates!
