Keeping hate alive.
“4,000 women rally against anti-Islam film,” from Agence France Presse (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
KARACHI: Thousands of women rallied here Saturday to protest against reprinting of blasphemous cartoons in some 17 Danish newspapers and an anti-Islam Dutch film, witnesses said.
The women shouted “death to Denmark and death to Netherlands,” as they marched about a kilometre on a busy street. Police said up to 4,000 women, mostly from the Jamaat-e-Islami, took part in the demonstration, venting anger against the Internet release of a 15-minute film last month by far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders and publication of the blasphemous sketches. In a resolution, the rally urged the government to cease diplomatic ties with Denmark and the Netherlands and expel their envoys.
“We will defend the honour of our Prophet (Peace be upon him) and our religion at the cost of our lives,” the Jamaat-e-Islami said. Pakistan’s foreign ministry last month summoned the Dutch ambassador and lodged a “strong protest” over Wilders’s film, which it said “deeply offended the sentiments of Muslims all over the world.” The cartoons originally appeared in a Danish newspaper in September 2005, sparking anger and protests across the Muslim world. Five people died in Pakistan in February 2006 during violent protests against the drawings.
They didn’t just keel over from the heat, mind you. They were innocent people who were murdered during this irrational outpouring of rage.
