#1 I wonder how much the rent-a-mobs pay in Pakistan, et al. I admire the ranters' work ethic, since they never seem to miss a chance to spout off. Imagine what they could accomplish with a real J-O-B.

(Of course, that might require actual reading and math, I know. But surely people who can memorize the hate-filled slogan du jour could manage to squeak out "You want fries wid dat?" and punch the picture buttons on the cash register....)

#2 For many of us, however, her majesty's conferral is a welcome example of something that has grown exceedingly rare: British backbone.

Having remained in London through The Blitz, Queen Elizabetheven in her senior yearsmost likely has more spine than a staff room of her commanding officers. While Rushdie certainly deserves some credit for opening a window upon Islamic crapulence far in advance of their more recent antics, his less than stellar accomplishments seem somewhat over-rewarded with a Knighthood. I find it far more likely that Queen Elizabeth has had her fill of domestic Muslim atrocities (read: 7-11, Kris Donald) and decided to give Islam a vigorous thumb in the eye.

Perhaps John Frum or anyone else more versed on the partition era's residual infrastructure can elucidate upon why it is that Pakistan is so utterly thankless when compared to India's ready adoption of English language, scholastics and industrialization.

As the "Land of the Pure", Pakistan has certainly attained such status in one respect. Its pursuit of purity has left it entirely uncontaminated by a host of Western ailments such as progress, liberty, education, literacy and pluralism. Pakistan's ingratitude remains so much sharper than any serpentine fang that Britain's ongoing receipt of burdensome immigration from this thankless colonial era child remains a complete and total mystery.

#3 as if on cue, the hoarse, bearded and pyromaniacal pour out of the mosques into the streets

By Sadanand Dhume

Mr/Ms Dhume has a lovely sense of humour and a scalpel-sharp pen. Now I'm sorry we gave up our subcription to the Wall Street Journal -- I can't get behind the subscriber wall. On the other hand, the open mockery of Muslim fanaticism is well begun. As it is said: Those who think they run the country read the New York Times. Those who actually do read the Wall Street Journal.
