these days.

Score one for the good guys of the blogosphere! The Guardian, the once-prestigious left wing U.K. newspaper, has been forced to fire an intern, Dilpazier Aslam, who was a member of an extremist Islamist political party and who had not declared this when he wrote a comment after the 7/7 attacks.
This is the first time a British "journalist" has been forced to step down after being criticized by bloggers.
The group in question, Hizb ut- Tahrir, promotes racism, anti-Semitism, calls suicide bombers "martyrs" and urges Muslims to kill Jewish people. The intern wrote an opinion piece for the Guardian after 7/7 which scolded the English for being surprised about the 7/7 attacks. He wrote that the English people bore responsibility of its own for the attacks.
He wrote that his generation of Muslims would not be afraid to "rock the boat" to protest against what they perceive to be injustice. He attached the word "sassy" to them!
Guardian employees apparently just can't help themselves. Some of them support Aslam. In a bitter report on the newspaper's media pages, a staffer lays the blame for Aslam's removal on "right wing" American bloggers but others in Europe point out that reputable British bloggers (and people) also criticized the Guardian for continuing to employ this man after his links to radical Islam were publicized.
Let me see if I have this straight. American bloggers are responsible for the firing of a reporter in a foreign country...is that it?
these days.
And don't it feel goooooood
Don't you know that Americans are to blame for everything in the world?
The pajamahadeen" The pajama brigade? What was the term again?
A lot more probably agree with much of his sentiments. They just don't screw up and reveal them.
This is a good start... Now if they can get rid of the ones who supported him...
One wonders why his generation won't use all that terrorist talent to knock out the unjust governments in the middle-east.
Rove engineered this, I can just feel it!
He wrote that his generation of Muslims would not be afraid to "rock the boat" to protest against what they perceive to be injustice. He attached the word "sassy" to them!
...
Perhaps they should get sassy about injustices in their own back yard -- like those acted upon their women. A culture that treats their women like dogs and sees their children as detonators will implode when libs stop empowering them.
Oh? What about the Guardian editor who was dropped after running the hoaxed images of British "soldiers" urinating on "Iraqi prisoners"?
Americans are to be blamed for everything....after all I'm sure somehow it really is Bush's fault.
Can you come up with a reference? If truly the Guardian and not a tabloid, this would be useful to drive the ASLAM story.
The good news continues.
Now, those who hired and used the vitrol of this Jihadist POS need to feel the cold hard reality of playing games with innocent lives to be PC.
The sad part is, they are so jealous of us, they'll believe anything negative...no matter it defies logic. I guess they lost their ability to reason a few years back. The poor darlings.
