File under: Govt of Sudan

#1 This writer believes the entire episode was fabricated by the Sudan government

Sounds about right. I'd go with Chinese opera rather than Kabuki. But that's just me.

#2 Plus it discredits the Brits, will force the shutdown of an infidel school, and puts all the infidels on notice that they just aren't safe in the Sudan.

#5 I feel sick...

"This writer" is suffering the same old western delusion, as of old. (Dont forget "Dialectical Materialism" was born in a pub in Tottenham Court Road)

Eg: the cynical quotes:
"angry mobs who felt insulted"
rather than
angry mobs who felt "insulted"

Why do we still find it so hard to believe that their visceral loathing is actually genuine, real???

I'll tell you why - I've experienced it whilst muzzy-baiting in Hyde Park Corner (speakers corner - the birthplace of free speech in the UK)

It's because the rage and hate is created, rather than innate of course, similar to a child who stamps their feet to wind up their tantrum. I used to bang my head on the floor as a toddler to acheive this effect - which these guys do five times a day.

On one occasion a convert was rolling his eyes and grinding his teeth in response to my "insulting remarks". Cheap theatrics, which I absolutely guarantee you he was told to do, along the lines of "you should suppress your anger when infidels insult the profit, respond politely, etc" on the basis of Madinan suras.

This manufactured / suppressed anger, combined with the indoctrination of hatred, gradually becomes more and more genuine, nurtured through the "peaceful" teachings to "suppress" your anger.

On this occasion, I shouted at him "WTF do you think you're doing rolling your eyes at me you little P155ant piece of sht, I could crush you in a second!"

Surprisingly, he actually seemed to listen from then onwards. Dont try it with a commited Jihadi, though - and always watch for the silent ones on the edges. Crowds can build quickly too, so be sure of your escape plan!

#6 A Gibbon is an arboreal ape. I'm surprized they let her into the country in the first place.

#7 Heaven (and Fred) only knows the work that goes into this website, (especially Thugburg) but I wonder if anyone is keeping a comparative tally of "muslim world outrage" - as in analyzing the premeditation, reactions, and outcomes of the various episodes. There are discrete differences to each of them, and sifting out the patterns may be a useful exercise in cultural anthropology, or the comparative madness and delusions of crowds.

In no particular order, from the Danish cartoons, to the urinated-upon-Korans, to Abu-Ghraib, to the Nike/Starbucks logos/printing (or do I have my brand names wrong), to the flying Imams, to French Car-B-Ques, to whatever CAIR has cooked up this week, to Teddy, and surely a huge number of lesser local incidents - it's a target rich environment, and there's a sufficient variety piled up to examine the how, why and where the reactions unfold.

Finally, we dilute the conversation to say that common sense prevailed. Common sense prevails when this discussion doesn't occur - this remains common sense under attack, or common sense sorely lacking. There's very little in common between sense and fanaticism.

#8 Glung McG: You're exactly right. Common sense did NOT prevail in the Gibbons' affair. Common sense would dictate that the affair did not occur in the first instance. Best to remember that when dealing with a death cult/ideology, logic does not always apply.

BTW: I don't like you calling RB... Thugburg. We are not thugs here at RB. We are, however, aware of the need for strong men and women prepared to do vast amounts of harm on our behalf - here and abroad - as we sleep like babes in the night. Please, don't ever refer to RB as Thugburg.

Such a description is just not acurate.

Glung, you asked if there is a website giving a "comparative tally of muslim world outrage". Why yes, such a place does exist. The site in question has been drawn upon many times by members of RB. The site is known -sarcastically- as " the religion of peace . com"...feel free to link to the following address for study:

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

According to the website above, to date there have been at least 10,135 verifiable separate instances of slaughter perpetrated by muslims receiving the islamic "good jihadi seal of approval". That is to say, 10,135 instances of slaughter perpetrated by muslims since September 11, 2001 when the authors of the website started keeping count. Mind you, that is the number of separate instances of slaughter committed by muslims in the name of their religion. NOT the body count.

#9 Mark dear, it's ok. If you look in the right margin, that yellow box -- there's a link to the Thugberg there. Click on it -- you'll be fascinated. We are absolutely not thugs here at Rantburg; rather, we are charming ladies and gentlemen, just that some of us have access to more pungent vocabulary and practical skills. ;-)

#10 It alomst makes me want to name my next dog Mohammed. I wouldn't because I care to much about dogs to insult them that much.

#11 Oh boy...hmmm...perhaps I owe Glung an apology. Strike that: I do owe Glung an aopolgy and I hereby offer same. I wasn't aware of Thugburg. I took Glungs comment entirely wrong through no fault of Glung.

Thank you, TW, for the head's up on my mistake. And Happy Hanukkah.

Sorry Glung...
