#1 Donât the extremists have anything better to do than protest Valentines day.

In India, the cops are enforcing the law by protecting stores selling Valentine's Day material. In Muslim countries, the cops are enforcing the law by raiding stores selling Valentine's Day material. That's the difference - in India, private individuals express their disapproval whereas the cops protect the right of other private individuals to celebrate the occasion. In Muslim countries, the government infringes on the right of private individuals to celebrate the occasion.

#2 Spot-on, ZF. Reminded me of this jewel...

From The Devil's Dictionary (Ambrose Bierce):

"INFIDEL, n. In New York, one who does not believe in the Christian religion; in Constantinople, one who does.

#3 I was trying to figure out why NMM and Antiwar are out and about, since, According to the Old Patriot Theory of Troll Activity, there has been no catastrophic loss of anything Idiotarian, or any spectacular victory incurred by the Anti-Idiotarians.

Then it struck me: Valentine's day is tomorrow, and the trolls are reacting to something personal in their lives which, as we all know, in their minds far outweighs the sorrows and woes of people killed by dictators, islamists, and other unsavory characters in power...

#4 Ptah- It's more than that.....not only is it Valentine's Day, but today is Friday the 13th. AND Monday is President's Day (a day set aside to honor all those dead white males who oppress the third world and destroy the planet, blah blah blah.)
Talk about a bad weekend for Rantburg's moonbats! (All except Faisal, who as we all know is enjoying the attentions of dozens of supermodels while living on the couch in his daddy's basement. :) )
