Rushdie title protest ‘may spark mockery’:
Pakistan’s comments on the author Salman Rushdie’s knighthood contributes to insulting freedom of speech, and may lead to ridiculing Islam, a CoJ cleric says.
Such actions are the root cause of people making fun of Islam, your correspondent screamed into the void.
The blogger later said he had not meant to condone or incite Islamojocularity but stress its inherent silliness.
The Cult of Jim has condemned Ejaz-ul-Haq’s comments. Lab 6 says it shows ass-backwardness amongst idiot ministers.
The blogger was typing furiously into the ether when he unanimously condemned the minister’s intolerance towards author Salman Rushdie and demanded it be withdrawn.
His comments in the English language were perilously ignored.
“If someone laughs at the Koran to protect the honour of liberal democracy, his act is justified,” he said, according to the translation by the Reuters news agency.
“If Pakistan doesn’t withdraw the protest, all democratic countries should break off diplomatic relations.”
Opponents accused the blogger of pointing and laughing.
Later he edited his post and said his remarks were not meant to be a justification of laughing at the Koran.
The blogger is a well known liberal hardliner. He is an understudy of former President Greaves who carried out a process of amusification in Lab 6 before triumphing in a shootout at a bargain liquor store in 1999.
