What else but total human misery!

Greetings everyone!

Today was 10th Muharram(the first month in the Islamic Calender) ... the Day of Ashura .

In the town of Hangu, in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan there was an explosion to mark the event. 22 people dead.

In Afghanistan, clashes between Sunnis and Shias leave 5 dead.

Before I leave you to contemplate these appalling scenes, I have updates on the cartoon riots. Not good ones of course.

Four people in Afghanistan have died in riots as police opened fire. These fresh riots came as a response to a French publication winning the backing of a court to publish these cartoons.I, as a response, can't say anything. Words fail me. Don't know what to say, what to write. Just give me time to stomach all of this. Seriously, what do these republications are going to give to those papers?

Meanwhile an Iranian paper, Hamshahri has decided to hold a contest, for cartoons about the Holocaust. To test the West, if it is going to apply the same principles of free speech in this case.

All of this is spinning totally out of control.

Seems like it is going to escalate into something huge. Too huge. More huge than it already is.

P.S. If anyone is still wondering what all of those 12 cartoons consist of, check this out.If there is anyone who would want to know but is the sort of a Muslim who wouldn't want too see the Prophet(pbuh) actually portrayed in a cartoon, check this (contains their description).
