Pensieri di un lunatico minore

The irony, it burns

Seriously what the hell is wrong with people:

Britain’s decision to award a knighthood to author Salman Rushdie was condemned by Pakistan on Monday as an affront to Muslims. One cabinet minister said it provided a justification for suicide attacks.

“This is an occasion for the (world’s) 1.5 billion Muslims to look at the seriousness of this decision,’’ Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq, religious affairs minister, said in parliament.

“The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism,’’ ul-Haq said. ”(But) If someone exploded a bomb on his body, he would be right to do so unless the British government apologizes and withdraws the sir title.’’

In the eastern city of Multan, Muslim students burned effigies of the Queen and Rushdie. About 100 students carrying banners condemning the author also chanted, “Kill him! Kill him!’’

I’m so glad Islam is a “religion of peace,” as if saying it makes it true. Islam is no more a religion of peace than any other Abrahamic religion, which is filled with torture, violence, incest, and every other form of abuse possible, all in the name of some voices in your head. It’s unfortunate that better pharmacology wasn’t available long ago so that people could have taken a pill, rather than write books and encourage others to be stupid, insane, and kill.

Seriously, stop listening to the voices in your head.
