An estimated 50,000 protesters gathered outside the embassy district in Islamabad today.
Police were called in to control the situation.
US Embassy Targeted
Students, protesting against the anti-Islam film in Islamabad, entered the red zone on Thursday and reached the entrance of the heavily-guarded diplomatic enclave. The Army was called in to control the situation.
The BBC reported:
The Pakistani authorities had earlier called on the army as police struggled to contain the crowd of thousands with tear gas and live rounds.
Some protesters had said they would not leave the diplomatic enclave until the US embassy was on fire.
Protests over the film, Innocence of Muslims, have claimed several lives.
It was made in the US and is said to insult the Prophet Muhammad.
Streets leading to the enclave, where most of the embassies are housed, were earlier blocked off by shipping containers in an effort to increase security.
Television pictures showed chaotic scenes as police tried to gain control of the situation.
Protesters burned an effigy of US President Barack Obama and threw missiles at the polcie.
One demonstrator told reporters: “The infidel who produced the movie should be hanged, or hand over him to the Muslims. And we don’t want any (US) diplomat or embassy in Pakistan: all relations should be cut off.”
The BBC’s Aleem Maqbool in Islamabad, who did not see any evidence of the army at the scene, said the protest was “turned out like a light”.

“THE TERRORISTS ATTACK”
The mask so carefully applied,
Has torn for all to see.
Your unjust rage against our rights,
Now threatens Liberty.
So once again, we Patriots pledge,
To keep our nation free.
God gave this land a Law of Defense,
Which applies to every man
Who lives by the code of “self-control”
Who prays freedom for this land–
Who has pledged he’ll not seek conquest
But take a DEFENDER’S stand.
Hear us, ye craven foes of life,
We are not afraid of your screams.
For a “moment” you may spread your strife,
For a brief space of time you may dream,
Of defiling our women and enslaving our youth
With fanatical zealots’ schemes.
We have watched you burn our embassies,
We have seen you deface our flag.
Our soldiers and envoys have paid death’s price,
While you screamed, and ranted, and bragged.
You were seen unworthy of pride or respect,
As their bodies through your sands were dragged.
Enough of the frauds, enough of the lies,
That your anarchy is “decent” or “just”.
Though you claim false pretext to cover your sins,
We renounce your excuses for lust,
Of the men and their homes they will defend,
With their very lives if they must!
We renounce your MEDIA WHORES as well–
You have bought and paid for their souls.
We deny their lies, we reject their claims,
We repudiate so-called “polls”—
Which you believe will cause us to quake
At the “might” you claim to control.
We have prayed, and fasted, and pleaded,
The God of Our Fathers once more.
It was He who gave us Freedom’s gift;
And His might cannot be ignored.
His Law of Defense now applies here,
And it sanctifies our shores!
Aroused, Columbia’s* God prepares,
To repel every foe from this land.
It is He who orders Heaven and Earth,
And with Him we now take our stand.
Once more we Patriots rally and cry—
We shall honor what Heaven commands!
* Columbia = United States; new Latin; from Christopher Columbus; first used 1775.
In 1776, a pitiful, yet believing, band of farmer/soldiers defended themselves against the most powerful army the world had ever known—AND WON; against all odds; against every treasonous naysayer, defeatist, and cynic, THEY WON.
They did not win because they went to England and sought conquest or spoil. Rather, they made an oath with the God of Heaven, whose might in defense of freedom HAS BEEN SEEN THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY. This oath they kept, that they would honor His laws and praise His name in exchange for His pledge to ETERNALLY DEFEND our land on conditions of righteousness. Even our FOES may visit and enjoy privileges and protections of property and person, so long as they will abide by our laws!

It must be the video. Looks like a spontaneous protest. Not.

You know, that works for me just fine, other than the part about turning over the United States Citizen who exercised his Freedom of Speech to produce a video critical of the “religion” followed by these barbarian hordes.
And of course since we are “cutting off relations” that means that we are ALSO cutting off the $$$$$ – a not insignificant sum
That $7,500,000,000 can surely better be applied to our own economic difficulties.
And while we’re at it, we import a whole lot of things from Pakistan . .

When I see this, I hear the song by Arab singer Rachid Taha, “Everybody Out”, which was featured in “Blackhawk Down.”
Here are the translated lyrics:
Rachid Taha – Everybody Out!
Everybody out! There’s sadness, rage and treachery
Everybody out! Corruption and jealousy, no longer can anyone be trusted
Everybody out! Thirst, the people are forsaken
Everybody out! There’s no honor, just oppression and slavery
Everybody out! Thankfulness is gone and ugliness is everywhere
Everybody out! The stars have gone out and the sun has gone black
Everybody out! There’s no more goodness, happiness or prosperity
Everybody out! There’s no more trees and the birds have stopped singing
Everybody out! There’s no day or night, only darkness
Everybody out! Hell has taken over, there’s no beauty left
Everybody out! The time has passed, there is no honor
Everybody out! There’s corruption and war and the blood is running
Everybody out! Only the walls are left standing
Everybody out! There’s fear and so everyone is silent

There is no film. There’s a video clip from a trailer. I am sure the video clip is offensive. The reason that video clip exists is because the Islamists have brought disgrace upon Mohammed and Allah and Islam, with both their words and their actions.
Nonbelievers are scandalized by the awful, horrible purported religion on display in this document, as well as by the bloody, extreme, and unjust actions of its adherents. The natural response of decent people to such documents and such acts is condemnation and mockery.
The Hamas Covenant of 1988
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp
which contains, among other horrible things, an agreement to engage in an advertising campaign to convince Muslims that they have a personal, religious duty to kill every Jew on the face of the earth and re-conquer every square inch of land ever held by a “Muslim” regime.
The Avalon version is expurgated. The unexpurgated version is even more hair-raising.
http://middleeast.about.com/od/palestinepalestinians/a/me080106b.htm
This is the version that starts with an introduction that claims that the terrorists are willing to sacrifice their own SOULS “in the path of Allah” ! One has to wonder how a person’s destruction of his own soul could be viewed an anything like a legitimate service to Allah. It’s a much longer version than the Avalon translation, with much more nakedly murderous intent.
There will be no peace in the Middle East until the Hamas Covenant is repudiated, and the advertising campaign is ended. The Islamists, in keeping with the Hamas Covenant (and a number of their other documents) have been engaged in whipping up faux outrage on whatever pretexts they can find.
According to this document, signed by a large group of educated, authoritative Muslims representing all 8 schools of Muslim thought, there is a Command by God Himself to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If that is true, then the Hamas Covenant is readily seen to be in violation of a core tenet of Islam. It can and should be repudiated by Muslims as unIslamic.

Take every bit of “foreign aid” money to these people and send it to them in the form of live ordinance.
Rock the casbah. Drop the bombs between the minarets.

Middle East Madness
/Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpt:
“What can we do?
Start developing vast new oil and gas finds on public lands here at home. Get our financial house in order. Quietly cut back aid to hostile Middle East governments. Put travel off-limits. Restrict visas and call home ambassadors — at least until Arab governments control their own street mobs.
Develop a consistent policy on the so-called Arab Spring that applies the same criticism of illiberal dictators to the theocrats who depose them. Keep quiet and keep our military strong. Don’t apologize for a few Americans who have a right to be crude. Instead, condemn those premodern zealots who would murder anyone of whom they don’t approve.”

My apologies to the regulars here for the re-posts of the links to the Hamas Covenant and A Common Word. If you’ve read them and they bore you, feel free to scroll on past. I place them here for the convenience of those who haven’t read either document. I find it both alarming and chilling that our purported expert-on-Islam in Chief (yes, I remember Barack Obama said of Muslims, “I know how those people think.”
Like Thomas Sowell, I can see ignorance and overconfidence in this administration, and there is an identifiable source.

I think it might be instructive for us to see some of the cartoons about Jooos and the Great Satan that are regularly published by those who claim to be good Muslims. Just to provide some balance and perspective, ya know.
