Happy Denmark Day... of RAGE!

It looks like Pakistan is doing its best to prove that it is the world's Jihad superstar. I don't have much time for commentary on this little shin-dig, other than to point out that yes, these people flowed out of their mosque after Friday prayers, with hatred in their eyes, and fire in their hands.

Stay classy, Pakistan!

Angered over the reproduction of Prophet Muhammad cartoons in Danish newspapers last week, hundreds of Islamic students rallied in the Pakistani capital, setting fire to Danish flags and threatening a holy war.

But... but... I thought "a holy war" meant that they wanted to lower their calorie intake! Isn't that what CAIR keeps telling us?

Bonus: Looks like the "Death to Wikipedia" crowd will be pleased by this one.

I'll do my best to keep an eye open for other Denmark Days... of RAGE around the world. If you see something on the wires before I do, just poke me and let me know about it. Until later, feel free to peruse the ragerific rage there is—All neatly catalogued beyond the fold.

Greetings, fellow Malkin fans! This is becoming a regular season of rage, isn't it?

Update: Syria says that the Danish cartoons will lead to "religious war." Cool beans—Let me know when the crusade kicks off. ;-) 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."

Activists of Pakistani religious party Jamat-e-Islami hold placards to condemn India and the United States for supporting Indian government, Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008 in Multan, Pakistan. Pakistan observed the 'Kashmir Day, to show solidarity with Indian Kashmiris struggling for their independence. (AP Photo/Khalid Tanveer)


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 »
 

Pakistan's Curious Little Jihadi Problem

Remember that picture from a few days ago of Pakistani terror-supporters giving alms for jihad? In the same city, a "hardliner" Islamic cleric and his band of AK-lugging thugs have taken a group of Pakistani security forces hostage. In response, the Pakistani government has been increasing the number of troops it sends into the area, in an attempt to gain control over some of the lawlessness they're currently experiencing. As if on cue, students from every madrassa in the area have been bussed in to protest against this outrageous show of lawfulness. So what does our ever-helpful press do?

Yeah, you guessed it. Bring on the ouuuuutrage:

Islamic students protest against the government's continued fighting in the northwestern province with Islamic militants in Islamabad, Pakistan, Friday, Nov. 2, 2007. Government officials say militants account for most of 180 people killed in fighting around the northwestern province of Swat since 2,500 government militiamen were deployed last week to tackle the followers of pro-Taliban cleric Maulana Fazlullah.
