By Robert Spencer on Feb 08, 2015 07:18 pm

It’s a multi-faith cemetery, but never mind: the unbelievers are “unclean” (cf. Qur’an 9:28), and that’s that. The local council is, of course, siding with the Muslims.

Pakistan to continue ban on “blasphemous” YouTube indefinitely
By Robert Spencer on Feb 08, 2015 05:52 pm

A brittle and insecure culture, desperately afraid that dissent will expose its illogic and hypocrisy, and thereby bring it down. Thus it must act to suppress forcibly all dissenting speech; it considers it a matter of self-protection.
