Pakistan Deals With The Cartoon Issue

E Mullah is from Pakistan, living in the US, he has become a friend of mine. This is a disturbing post from him...

Bush pats Musharraf for blocking my Blog

"The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday directed the government to block internet sites displaying sacrilegious cartoons and called explanation from authorities concerned as to why these sites had not been blocked earlier." In order to comply with supreme court orders the GOPak has blocked all websites ending with www.--.blogspot.com. This action has resulted in blocking all weblogs and Mr. Bush, visiting Pakistan, has given a pat on Mr. Musharraf's back for blocking my Pakistani readers. Pakistani readers cannot read the blogs anymore but they are able to post web logs because the primary blogger address is not blocked. Thanks to those who started an internet-blog based cartoon war on Muslim sensibilities, believing that they can teach respect and freedom of speech to Muslim countires. Now we cannot teach them anything except how to close their doors.

Well, that's one way to deal with the Cartoon issue!

GWB holding hands and kissing the Saudi prince, now pandering to Musharraf.

Makes me want to vomit.

Like Anti-Jihadist said, our reaction is to feel sorry for Pakistanis.

But, here's the thing, our reaction always has been to feel sorry for any human being living in a Muslim country, because they are living in slavery and that is exactly why we are at war;

To liberate human beings from slavery.

In a military war, there are physical casualties. In an ideological war, there are psychological casualties.

That's what we are seeing here.
