Islamists want to get rid of tobacco outright. America and Islamists, hand in hand, wiping out the dreaded tabak together.
See, we can get along.
Inshallah.

Not a popular cause to take up currently, but Western compliance with the diktats of Sharia on tabak. OF course, that’s not why the bans went in, but intent is almost irrelevant, results are. Result is America is now more Sharia compliant than before the Attacks.
Tomorrow?

“Bring back Saddam,” says a cigarette vendor. “We were free to smoke anywhere then.” Sounds like a battle cry to me!

“Do the politicians have nothing better to do?” asks Abu Yasser, as he takes a drag while filling up his car at a petrol station. Yikes, not the best scenario in which to argue for smokers' freedom.

“My cousin was recently murdered by terrorists, my neighbour was tortured by the police, my electricity is cut for most of the day, the same is true in most hospitals in the city. And they are worried about smoking?” This is a little worse than the usual bitching I hear from my own neighbors.

This sounds to me like the author was using smoking as a way to bash the U.S. intervention in Iraq. Look again at the article - they were better off before, the government is now evil (but wasn’t under their dictator?) - all complaints about life now - electricity cut, bombs, terrorists, long lines, even the police torture innocent people - only comfort is smoking and they are taking that. The smoking issue aside, to me, this appears to be a blame the U.S. piece.

Yea, this is a good way for the American’s to get along with their Arab brothers and convince them that we aren’t trying to take over.

...democratically elected government... Are you saying a democratically elected government can't regulate cigarettes? Why is that?
