Pakistan: Tiny Minority of Extremists buys 100,000 Osama bin Laden posters

Is there any other poster outselling this one? Is the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims Who Abhor Bin Laden and Abominate Al-Qaeda buying up Gandhi posters at this clip? Or maybe Justin Bieber posters?

"Record sale of Osama posters in Pakistan," from IANS, May 10 (thanks to Mehreen):

ISLAMABAD: There has been a record sale of posters of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan after the al-Qaida leader was gunned down in a daring US commando raid May 2 in the country, a media report said on Tuesday.

More than 100,000 posters of Osama Bin Laden have been sold since his death, the Online news agency reported citing the print industry. It added that the volume of sale is increasing daily....

I suppose if a pastor in Florida would now burn a poster of bin Ladin, Obama and the media would find something wrong with that.....

Only 100,000? That seems a little low. If it weren't for the presence of infidels in the land of the pure, I'll bet more posters would have been sold!

and a Muslim poster recently posted here that he/she didn't understand the hoopla about Osama as "only 800" Muslim protesters had taken to the streets...of course he was wrong...

The next thing you know is a Bin Laden tribute act will singing the grearest hits of Islamic heart throbs with the girls screaming and batting their eyes and the guys doing the same.

The problem of statistics.
Pakistan has, I think, a population of circa 130m - oops that was a couple or so years ago. Now it is 174m according to a recent census. In 5-10 years it will likely be 200m + and growing. Hell if you don't work what else to do?

100,000 is 0.05% which IS a tiny minority in statistical terms. Then again it is 100,000 who might try to visit or emigrate to the West with evil intent.
In NUMBERS , not statistics, that is frightening. And this is just Pakistan.
If I got the maths right, and the rest of the islamic world has similar "tiny" numbers of supporters of the Islamic/AlQ agenda, then that amounts to pretty well a million people. Truly frightening.
The fact that many of those are likely illiterate and too poor to travel doesn't give me any confidence.
Maybe it really is time to start a new Crusade and stop materially supporting those who breed without responsibility. Many will die of starvation which is sad but what nature always intended. Foxes stop breeding when food is in short supply!
And no I'm neither a Nazi nor a fascist (or even far right or left). Simply pragmatic. "when needs must" and all that.

A determined minority can accomplish a lot. Think of nineteen hijackers. There is anecdotal evidence that there were others who would have acted likewise on tbat day had not US airspace been closed to commercial traffic.
1% of 100,000 could wreak havoc on an unsuspecting people.

I know what the posters might look like.

I'm really sorry for posting this Jihadwatch link over, and over, and over again, but these hilarious misspelled signs are the ONLY positive thing Porkistan has ever contributed to this planet.

Oh, now that they're profitting off of bin Laden's death, then we can stop sending them aid ...

And I read that bin Laden's compound might be turned into a tourist attraction. Yeah they can charge big bucks to those dying to see where he lived; and they can also make lots of $$ on t-shirts, mugs, action figures of bin Laden - I mean the sky's the limit on ways that Pakistan can cash in on bin Laden's demise.

If Pakistan is our ally, the government should pack up and arrest those who known supporters of Osama. But why should they when the Obama administration won't even do that in America? All free and democratic governments in the world should not put up with known Islamic jihadists in their midst! Pack them up, arrest them, and then deport them.

Here's my all-time-favorite poster of Osama bin Laden:

Oops—brainless Jihadists included a spoof image of OBL with Bert—you know, the *Muppet*:

http://www.ketrin.co.uk/wp-content/blog/uploads/2011/05/bert-is-evil-bin-laden.jpg

The original image is from a wag who created a series called "Burt is evil", which showed Muppet Burt with various evil figures in history. He was just having fun—no deep message intended. I'm not going to mention his name, for reasons which by now are all too obvious...

Ho Ho Ho!!! gravenimage

Remember 100,000 sold in only one week after the news sank in. The report says sales volume is increasing daily.
