HONOUR DEFENDED
Meant to link to this earlier:
As an Indymedia commenter says: “There is much laughter at the location and title of the event.” Which is obviously a prank; neither organiser “Melvin Kassam” nor the “Rachel Corrie Memorial Committee” turn up in Google searches. Still, who needs gags when this is available:
Sheik Muhsen Al-’Awaji: Before Islam, the Arabs fought for 40 years to defend the honor of a female camel. This was in the Busous War. A female camel was humiliated, and a 40-year war ensued to defend its honor. So what about the honor of the Prophet?
Interviewer: Are you proud of this?!
Besides stunned silence, that’s about the only response an interviewer might reasonably have been expected to come up with.
