Pakistan: riot against mixed-sex race

Sharia Alert: "Pakistan: Islamists riot against mixed-sex race," from AP, with thanks to Twostellas:

Authorities beefed up security on Saturday for a planned marathon for men and women, a day after police arrested 400 protesters from an Islamic group that has branded the race obscene and vowed to block the runners.

Several Islamists and two police officers were injured during Friday's street clashes in Lahore, the venue of Sunday's marathon... But hard-line Muslims have pledged to disrupt the race, saying Islam prohibits women from participating in such events.

Islam prohibits women from participating in such events.

Why? One could run in a burqa-- just be prepared for some serious aerodynamic drag.

Shinoliite-

You forget that a woman might actually win.

(Even encumbered by the inertia of the 7th century.)

But, I guess, even then, since she is merely worth half of a man, she would only get half credit for the victory, thus assuring the men couldn't lose.

(Or do Muslim women have to run twice as far to get half the merit?)

I could imagine two headlines on the same day...

"Muslims riot against mixed-sex race"

"Nazis riot against mixed-race sex"

Nazis and Muslims as moral equivalents: Absolutely!

This happened last year, too. It was carried on the International Channel. It was, well, a riot to watch.

It will be interesting to learn what text (chapter and verse) prevents this, and what excuses they'll come up with to prevent a non-Muslim woman from participating.

The Pakis are maybe the most virulent form of your Moslem. Being Hindus deep in the throes of devolution, to this point, at least, they don't suffer the torpor associated with being an Arab, Turkic, or Berber.

Moslems with energy is a scary idea.

Ode to Sayeed

Oh Sayeed, can you not forget this silly creed?
Oh Sayeed, can't you say your hate-bone just ain't no longer in need?
If your answer's no, then go ahead and beat these racer women, and make them bleed.
But indeed, Sayeed, be alert cuz that weekly C-139 again is delivering your feed,
I feel joe Islam, Sayeed, joe moral vacuum, and joe lusty greed.

Naseem;

Make Allah proud and enter this race. I will donate $1 for each mile that you run to a worthy charity of your choosing (please no jihadist charities).

Naseem;

Make Allah proud and enter this race.

I don't think it's a relay?.

Attention Jihad Watchers:

by googling 'sheik yer'mami' I found the following link by
>some Islamo-slanderer. "Watching Jihad Watch"- Seems that 'Nasseem' is not only a troll, but
>also an agent provocateur. By reading my posts again I can't find
>anything 'racist' there. Clearly, I have been advocating
>mass-deportations and shutting down madrassahs and mosques, no less. But
>I never advocated mass-killings or as Nasseem falsely claims 'the
>annihilation of 1.2 billion muslims'...

Be on guard! She is quite sneaky to incite and to provoke in order to smear JW/DW as a hate-site. Remember: Our enemies are many and cunning: They would like nothing better than to see us removed or shut up.

Thank you Sheik. Important safty tip. But you see, it's not as easy as that. We're freedom lovers. We're into things like, "Freedom of Expression, the freedom to peacefully assemble."
A lot of us are more than aware that Naseem could be an agent for destruction of this particular website. She claims to be from Pakistan and all, but she isn't consistant with her arguements for Islam. There is no way that she could be for the gang raping of a fellow Muslim woman by Muslim men under orders from an Islamic court. Why? This woman could very easily be her. Her defence of Islam pretty much makes her;
a) a non issue.

b) a beguiled person.

So let not your heart be troubled.
Let them label this website a site for Islamic hatespeak. It only means that we're having some effect on the world and how it sees "true" Islam. They only want to shut us up because WE'RE TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM!!! We have some of the most knowledgable people in the world communicating on this website. The brightest minds in the Free World and the Islamofeces know it. We're exchanging ideas and opinions. We are opening the eyes of a blinded world to Islam. We"re clearing the smoke!!! We're exposing the distortions.
Let them try to shut us up. Or shut us down. It'll only strengthen our resolve to see an Islam free world come to pass. We can not be silenced. "We the People won't allow ourselves to be silenced.
Now, there are those, such as Nassem that want to live under Islamic rule. They can have Islam. Have fun with it. Enjoy it. But those of us that know better say "Nuts to Islam!!!" Once again, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!!!"
If telling the truth about something is hate speak, then so be it. This is a trick that the leftists use all of the time. "We the People" see it all of the time from the democrats in the House of Congress and on the floor of the House of the Senate. In the mainstream media, the New York/Jihad Times, the Washington/al Jazeera Post, the Lost Angeles Times, PMSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN. Jesse "Jackass" Jackson and Al "Slim Shady" Sharpton are "masters" at this tactic. Sith Lords of the Darkside of Society.
We learned this one saying when we were children in school, "stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
By puttting a label on someone or something is one way that the left can shut us up. Assuming that the pressure of the name caling will make us change how we respond to and on issues that they deem important or a pet project. To force us to "get along", give up our opinion/s. Be understanding of their feelings. To try and understand their point of view, whether wrong or wrong. Our intentions are "good."
Nuts to them!!! We're Americans. We're the Free Peoples of the Free World!!! We're the ones not afraid to tell the truth about the issues. Feelings be damned!!! We can't be silenced. We have nothing to hide!!! The truth is a beautiful thing. If you close one door here, another one will open up there. A free people love the truth!!! Whether it hurts or not. We have a choice to hear it or not. It's called FREEDOM!!!
You plant the seed of freedom in a person, it will grow!!! Let a person get a taste of freedom, they'll ask for a plate and then for seconds and thirds. Freedom is like a fire. If you throw gasoline on it, it'll explode, spread, engulping any and everything in it's path.
But yet, as you have truthfully said,

"Our enemies are many and cunning."

I say this, Continue to be watchful. and in the words of President Theodore Roosevelt,
"Walk softly and carry a big stick!"

Let not your heart be troubled, and be careful for nothing", We have the truth on our side. They've only Islam.
God Bless America and the Free World!!!
