Dera Ghazi Khan, Pakistan, is one of those continually endangered communities where outrageous fortune visits often in the form of drought, disease, and heat. Life is unchanging and tedious. . . . Most households live under the threat of yet another theft. Parents worry that their youth will join the new "Islamic Organizations" -- which, in Dera Ghazi Khan, are words that refer to any group of divinely sanctioned extortionists intimidating the shop owners."Because Allah Wills It. On the fundamentalism of fatalism and the myth of moderate Islam." By Ali Eteraz, Killing the Buddha, undated (emphasis added).
A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.
