Pakistan gov gives holiday to protest movie
By PeraclesPlease on Wed, 09/19/2012 - 10:32am |Obviously the Muslim world has a lot of time on its hands, to worry about private junk movies made to stir them up.
The Pakistani goverment declares a day off to protest the film. Perhaps they could just draw bullseyes on American consulates & embassies and bus people to them the way the Chinese do.
[Note that the actors didn't even mention Mohammed in the movie -they thought it was about ancient Egypt- that was overdubbed later - unclear whether in America or elsewhere - but does it matter?]
But perhaps this will end the suggestion that these protests don't represent the feelings of most Muslims, just a few bad/crazed apples.
Wonder why not as much outrage over drone strikes that kill dozens?
Another lost weekend - have to miss rad private rave party to go chant slogans in street. #MuslimRage
