Pakistan: 5,000 children demand execution of 'blasphemers'
2006-02-28
About 5,000 children chanting “Hang those who insulted the Prophet” rallied in Pakistan’s largest city today in the latest fiery protest in the Islamic nation against the publication of Prophet Mohammed cartoons.
KARACHI (Rantburg News Service): 5000 screaming children, toddlers and babies rioted in Karachi. The little brats chanted "Hang those who insulted the Profit," "More toys!", and "I don't wanna take a nap!" as they rallied outside a daycare center, the latest fiery protest in a nation that does little but protest things and kill people.
The children, aged 8 to 12, torched a coffin draped in US, Israeli and Danish flags at a traffic intersection in the port city of Karachi as police in riot gear looked on.
The children, aged 6 months to 12 years, set fire to a coffin draped in US, Israeli and Danish flags at a chowk, flung their diapers, and lay down on the streets, screaming and kicking their feet. Cries of "No more Fisher-Price!" and "Tonka rulez!" were heard from those old enough to talk.
The rally was organised by Jamaat-e-Islami, PakistanÂ’s largest Islamic group.
"We believe that for proper development children should be taught to riot early," said Liaqat Baloch, the JI second-in-command and organizer of the event.
Children, some wearing school uniforms and headbands emblazoned with “God is great,” were released from schools and Islamic seminaries to take part.
The children, some wearing school uniforms and headbands emblazoned with "Allahu Akbar [Holy Shit!]," carrying pictures of Barney, Evil Bert, and Osama bin Laden, were released from schools and madrassahs to take part in the festivities.
Meanwhile, opposition politician Liaqat Baloch, deputy secretary-general of the coalition, today welcomed the European Union’s first statement on the controversy. EU foreign ministers yesterday said they regretted the cartoons were “considered offensive” by Muslims around the world after first appearing in a Danish newspaper in September. But Baluch demanded that Denmark should also apologise.
Baloch, a prominent figure in opposition politix in Pakland, welcomed the European Union's first pitiful statements on the Mohammad cartoons controversy. European foreign ministers said they regretted the cartoons and requested that their cars not be bombed. But Baloch said the statements of regret were "too little, too late," and demanded that the foreign ministers present themselves in Karachi or Rawalpindi and grovel publicly.

#17   The Subtle Subversion: The state of Curricula and Textbooks in Pakistan

#16  Rememeber that they have to justify the creation of the state to their children.

So they teach the most outrageous stuff.. that Indian muslims are not allowed to go to the mosque, that there are regular pogroms of muslims, that muslims are superior...

#15  The late Indian National Security Advisor JN Dixit told a story about visiting a Pakistani friend (from pre-partition days). This was a top official in the Pak governement, a member of the educated powerful elite, raised in British India.

At the dinner table, the little six year old daughter of his friend discovered that Dixit was a Hindu.

Dixit was shocked as she began running around the table chanting "Hindu Kutta" "Hindu Kutta"

(Kutta means dog).

Do not assume the Paks raise their children like normal folk. They inculcate hatred at all levels.

Alas, if that were the case we would have islamic skleletons in musuems in the room next to the dinosaurs.

We have a culture that encourages that.

They don't.

#7  Every morning when I awaken, I first realize that the world is going nuts before my eyes. about one fifth of the world's population follow a religion which depends solely upon across the board brainwashing. One fifth of the world's population are taught not to think, not to prosper, not to expand their horrizons, not to participate in openness and friendship, but to use violence. One fifth of the world's population are taught to stab and decapitate anyone they deem as opposed to their otherwise pointless religion.
It's time to open the debate on what to do to eliminate Islam. The problem is far too big to ignore. Now they burn 3 flags. Next year, it'll be nine flags.
I want to wake up in a world of sanity before I die.

#6  This perfectly exemplifies everything that is wrong with Islam. Children don't know from sh!t from a tree when it comes to politics or blasphemy. These little goons are nothing but marionettes and puppets. What we are seeing is merely a subroutine of the programming that eventually leads to adolescents strapping on a bomb vest and killing as many as they can find in one place. At the risk of sounding PC, this is a case of mass child abuse, which pretty much defines Islam to begin with.

#5  You've got to be taught
To hate and fear
You've got to be taught
From year to Year
It's got to be drummed
in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught
To be Afraid
Of people whose eyes
are oddly made
And people whose skin
Is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught
Before it's too late
Before you are 6 or 7 or 8
To hate all the people
your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught

"You've Got To Be Carefully Taught"

#4  I am OK with this. Since the worst cartoons were not the original Danish ones but the ones made by wahabists tthey should hang wahabi sympathisers (includes taliban) and burn wahabi or wahabi-like mosques and madrassas.

#3  When children go rabid and start demanding hangings, you know your society has gone totally to crap.. real Lord of the Flies time...

#2  One, why are these kids playing with fire? Two, where were the adults? Three, whatever became of milk and nap time? And finally, will these kids end up like the Children's Crusade?

#1  I'm sure theses kids will grow up to be stand up productive members of that productive pakistani society which has contributed so much to Humanity.
