Draw A 'Cartoon' In Denmark And Watch People Die Down Here.

3 People killed; 45 injured in wide-spraed riots in Peshawar and Lahore over the cartoons drawn in Denmark of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H).

Strange how that one works is'nt it?? If I had any misplaced doubts about it before, they're certainly gone now: I live in a country/city populated almost entirely by morons. I'm pretty sure not that more than 10 people in a crowd of 500 could have claimed to pray 5 times a day and here they were, standing ready to defend their religion's name and honour. How? By tearing down the road-signs/traffic lights/telenor towers of course. *Throws rock at store-front window* Take that you damn dane *tears out the trees planted by the side of the road* Make a carricature of my Prophet will you?? *runs, creating a stampede, killing a 7 year old* That'll make you think twice you try anything that dastardly again. No, you dumb bastards, it does'nt work that way. Those newspaper editors don't care about how many protests you hold, how much damage you cause to public property and how many people die. Is it some some arcane, archaic desideraturm in Peshawar that compels you to turn violent when in a group?? Don't you see that it's you who will eventually have to put up those street signs/traffic lights up again?? Ever wonder where the money goes when you pay your taxes (if you pay your taxes)? Anyone?? Nobody?? I'll tell you: IT'S USED TO TO PUT UP STREET SIGNS/TRAFFIC LIGHTS YOU IGNORANT FOOLS. Well some of it anyways; the meagre amount left after the military and corrupt politicians take their share. Still, something is better than nothing.

Maybe it's just the way the people are nowadays, angry, frustraded and disheartened and they're just looking for an excuse to let loose. I mean who would'nt want to break stuff just for the heck of it?? It's human nature, but hey, don't take out that anger on your own people. That's like my father being angry at me for doing something wrong, and me going and beating the crap out of my brother. The rest of the world, whom we have to view as a disparate entity unaware of the respect and honour we have accorded to our Prophet (P.B.U.H), is going to see this as an Islamic outburst and just how many times have we stood proud and proclaimed Islam as a Religion of Peace? If I were one of them, I'd just be happy Islam does'nt preach expansionism.

Coming towards the editor's in question. They used freedom of speech/expression as their scapegoat. I was always under the illusion that there also existed a freedom of belief. Apparently I was wrong. Hypothetically speaking, I kill someone because I want to. That is freedom of action. They draw cartoons of a figure much revered by millions. That is freedom of expression. I did what I wanted to do, they drew what they wanted to. I transgressed on a peron's right to live, they transgressed on the rights to belief of hundreds of millions of people. I always thought you were free to do and say whatever you wanted to as long as you did'nt tread on somebody elses rights. If we were to go by their logic, the world would surely fall into anarchy *Judge: So you raped her because you wanted to?? Hmmm, under the Denmark 'Cartoon' Accords of 2006, the court of law finds you not guilty. Next*. I dont see flags of Iraq or Afghanistan with 'Support Rights to Freedom' on them. It's just a modern day story of Us and Them. The only real thing that surprised me about this whole fiasco was the fact that 'they' refused to apologise. Until recently, I had considered Europeans to be a very civilized people. Guess I was wrong there too.

You know there's something wrong when you see torched franchise stores on the main road and broken glass on the pavement everywhere. There's something wrong with the psyche nowadays; something in the air. Naaah, that's just the tear gas from the last salvo of shelling.
