Yet another Pak cartoon strike
2006-02-17
LAHORE: Tehreek-e-Namooz-e-Resalat Muhaz (TNRM) has called a province wide strike today (Friday) to protest the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI peace be upon him) in European newspapers and the government's failure to maintain law and order.

Dr Sarfraz Naeemi, Ittehad Tanzeemul Madaras Denia secretary general, told reporters on Thursday that protests would be staged outside all major mosques after afternoon prayers to condemn government allegations that religious leaders were involved in violence and destruction of property during the strike on February 14. Naeemi said the government should track protestors who had masqueraded as seminary students and take action against them. "If a religious activist is proved guilty then the TNRM will personally hand him over to the police."

#1  Whoo Hoo! What are we up to, now? Each cartoon must have been responsible for at least a couple of million smackeroos in property damage and lost productivity. These little puppies are more effective than nepotism when it comes to hollowing out Muslim economies. More cartoons, please.
