| Calls for bombing halt during Ramadan |
| 2001-10-31 |
America's Muslim allies are demanding a halt to the bombing of Afghanistan on Nov. 17 for the holy month of Ramadan... Leaders in Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia — all countries allied to the U.S. war on terrorism but all threatened by domestic Islamic fundamentalists — have called for a halt to the U.S. bombing campaign. Hmmm. Lemme think. No. At this point, with the exception of a part of the Pakistan government, "Muslim allies" is a contradiction in terms. If they're so concerned, why don't they jump in and help us achieve our aims? |
