Pakistanian Clerics Fosters Peace And Good Will

Nah, just kidding. After the whole "knighting Salman Rushie" bit, they decided to bestow Osama Bin Laden with the title of "Saifullah", which loosely translated means "cocksucker in the sights of the American government".

Here's the part that gets me:

The group, which says it is working for religious harmony, urged President Pervez Musharraf to call an emergency meeting of the 57-member Organisation of the Islamic Conference to press Britain to withdraw the Rushdie accolade.

Right....you're working for "religious harmony", yet you take something done to you and turn it into something you need to seek revenge for. I'm not saying you have to be all cozy up to people, but don't bullshit everyone and claim that you want "religious harmony" then bestow an award on someone who murdered 3,000 people.

Salman Rushdie insulted your prophet in your eyes (I don't know for sure as I've never read the book), so you think it's equal to insult the worlds citizens by honoring Bin Laden? Yeah good luck with that "religious harmony" bullshit you're trying to sell to everyone.


But there's an added twist:

A comment piece in Britain's Daily Telegraph said that if Pakistan was so angry about the issue, it should return the STG480 million ($A1.14 billion) in aid promised by Prime Minister Tony Blair last year.

“If this is tainted money, it can presumably be returned,” it said.

But in the Pakistani Parliament Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, the President of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League party, said that Mr Blair was “personally and mentally against Muslims”.

They have a point. If they are so enraged by this, then they shouldn't take the money. But that won't happen because they're hypocrites who'll gladly take money from "infidels".
