Now the French authorities must make it clear that any anti-west riots in their country will be treated as acts of terrorism, which they are. Kill two birds with one stone. |

Germany closes Mideast embassies. 1 killed in Pakistan protests. Pakistan has blocked cell phone service in major cities to prevent militants from using phones to detonate bombs during a national day of protest against an anti-Islam film produced in the United States. Quoting: tarfonwxx [link to www.newser.com] Tarf, this is also going to block twitter and cell phone videos from getting out. Remember what happened in Iran a few years ago, when the students tried to protest against the government. I don't have a good feeling about all of this. Maybe another FF? Interesting. If I were there though I'd rather have no phone service for security reasons. |
