“I have several Muslim friends, Indian, and Pakistani. They’re just like me. But if ONE topic comes up, religion, an amazing thing starts to happen. Right before my eyes, their mind shuts. It becomes narrow, and shades of gray disappear, their logic is left to nothing more than black and white. The black is text, and the white is the page, of the Quran. All Muslims, no. Most of them, yes. Anything that, in their mind, is the slightest taint on Islam, and all bets are off, all of a sudden they cannot rationalize, and they become extremely, extremly defensive.”

I have had similar experiences with an overwheming majority of my Muslim friends, who see conspiracy in everything that is wrong with their religion today.

F5, baby. A K K A’s on duty.

DT2004:

The months following the WTC attack, I was proud of being American more than ever before. I was proud of the way people conducted themselves. I was proud of our spirit, and I was 100% completely supportive of our government. It was a time for civilians and the government to work together against a common threat. I was even supportive at that time of the Bush administration going into Afghanistan — afterall, Osama Bin Laden was said to be there, and he was the prime suspect…

I was hugely ashamed with the American response after 9/11. We turned over all sorts of civil rights and let fear dominate our thinking, and our politics, here in America. Anyway, you don’t need to use the American response to 9/11 to justify idiotic policies in India done in the name of “national security.”

I think we all recognize that banning entire domains or IP ranges is a silly way to combat terrorism. The apologists on this post are nuts; they’re even more ready to bend over for the government than Americans were, post-9/11. And look how well all that worked out for America, huh? My advice? Get a backbone…an open Internet backbone.

(drum hit)

Clarification: In the sense of not wearing them per se. I didn’t mean that it’s obvious which of the commenters on SM is going commando at this particular point in time.

Enough digression from me. Carry on.

Or not wearing panties.

Thats probably more of a political stunt. I think part of the reason why the Kashmir issue is not resolved yet is because for the politicians on both sides of the border, its a massive vote bank!
