I don't know if they have any links to the right-wing or not, but it's a great name nevertheless.
On Friday night two Tablighis (missionaries) come to my house. Heal yourselves, you motherfucking hypocrites.
Saturday: Read two stories in the papers: one about a French-Pakistani who torched his Moroccan girlfriend in France, and the second of a German-Afghani who killed his sister -do the details matter?-by stabbing her sixteen times in what is called an "honour killing".
From Pervez Hoodbhoy's article:
In fact, soon after the October 2005 earthquake, as I walked through the destroyed city of Balakot, a student of the Frontier Medical College described to me how he and his male colleagues were stopped by religious elders from digging out injured girl students from under the rubble of their school building. This action was similar to that of Saudi Arabia's ubiquitous religious 'mutaween' (police) who, in March 2002, had stopped school girls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing their abayas – a long robe worn in Saudi Arabia.
More depressing news: the Pakistan government has capitulated and allowed sharia law in Malakand. We're in serious trouble. Is that the music on the Titanic I hear striking up....
