How come we’re not on the B-List?
The Banned-In-Pakistan List, that is. How come Phibian is on it, and Gates of Vienna isn’t?
It’s not fair!
Look closely, and you’ll see that Cdr. Salamander’s side-blog, Draw Mohammed Week, made the cut, in the image below (I highlighted it to help the presbyopic among you):
As the great CDR himself says:
Oh happy day! I always wanted a fatwa, but being banned in Pakistan….why THAT IS JUST TOO COOL! My off-the-cuff DrawMohammedWeek has no-shit-Shirlock been banned by the Pakistan government.
What are we at Gates of Vienna, chopped liver?
We’re card-carrying Islamophobes. We’re professional denigrators of the Prophet. We post original Mohammed-insulting cartoons. We’re charter members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, for crying out loud!
Why didn’t we make the list?
Say… that list looks like it was typed on an old Selectric typewriter, but maybe it wasn’t. Maybe this is Mary Mapes and the Texas Air National Guard all over again! Fake but accurate! And this time Dymphna and I are victims of the cruel fraud!
Or maybe not…
I’ve got a better idea: a chain fatwa.
Every time a blogger receives the list, he issues a fatwa against the blog on the top of the list. Then he crosses it off, adds his own blog’s name to the bottom, and sends the list off to ten other infidel bloggers.
By the time the Twelfth Imam returns, we’ll all be up to our clavicles in fatwas! Won’t that be cool?
Now I have to think of ten other bloggers who are ripe for the scimitar…
From the mind of a madman,……err…genius.
Snifle. I guess I have to stay on the sidelines…though it will be fun to watch.
A fatwa for all my friends…
This is definitely an idea whose time has come.
Have been submerged at work, come up for air and find this…outrage. Gates of Vienna NOT banned in Pakistan ?!? Sacre bleu !
Quite some cachet for CDR Salamander ! Congrats ! Maybe somebody should work up a “Banned in Pakistan” banner.
“Banned in Pakistan.” Sounds kind of like the guy in the bar scene in Star Wars who boasts he’s been given the death penalty in 20 systems or something.
Jefe, remember what comes next in that scene:
Luke: I’ll be careful.
Bad guy: You’ll be dead!
Not sure if it is still in effect, but a couple of weeks ago, Pakistan was supposedly blocking all Blogspot web addresses.
What slackers … Baron and Dymphna are going to have to pick up the pace.
But really how many in Paki-land do you think can read … much less read English.
So by default you are banned to the masses in paki. You get partial credit.
Now get back to work!
Me! Fatwa me!
I hope I’m high on your list, Baron.
I don’t even go to the trouble of using facts against Islam- just slurs, half-truths and fake quotes.
That’s GOT to be worth a fatwa.
I volunteer! I volunteer!
I even titled my January 30 post on the subject Can I Please Be Added To Your Fatwa?
