Burn the Queen! Muslims counter slanders of “extremism” by calling for - more extremism!
Pakistan has condemned Britain’s award of a
knighthood to author Salman Rushdie as an affront to Muslim sentiments, and a
Cabinet minister said the honor provided a justification for suicide
attacks.
Pakistan has condemned Britain’s award of a knighthood to author Salman Rushdie as an affront to Muslim sentiments, and a Cabinet minister said the honor provided a justification for suicide attacks.
“This is an occasion for the (world’s) 1.5 billion Muslims to look at the seriousness of this decision,” Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq, religious affairs minister, said in parliament.
Now, here comes a great couple of sentences:
“The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism. If someone exploded a bomb on his body, he would be right to do so unless the British government apologizes and withdraws the ’sir’ title,” ul-Haq said.
In the eastern city of Multan, hard-line Muslim students burned effigies of Queen Elizabeth II and Rushdie. About 100 students carrying banners condemning the author also chanted, “Kill him! Kill him!”
The only thing worse than theocracy - is fundamentalist theocracy.
