Pakistani police have clashed with protesters demonstrating against an amateur video mocking Islam outside the US embassy in the capital, Islamabad. Live rounds have been heard and tear gas has been fired as police struggled to contain the crowd of about 1,000 people. The Pakistani government has called in the army to help. The film, which was made in the US, is said to insult the Prophet Muhammad. Several people have died in protests in the Middle east and North Africa. The US State department advised Americans to put off any non-essential travel to the country and “strongly urged” those who are already there to avoid protests and large gatherings. Truth of the matter is that many people in the Middle East don’t understand the notion, that a person can being able to produce an independent youtube video. In their world everything is controlled by their state’s regime. So naturally they assume, that this poorly produced amateur video, we Americans would otherwise not have heard of, has been sponsored and distributed by the US state as anti Islam propaganda! Now whether this justifies the sort of violence that we have seen, is a very different matter. What do you guys out there think? Post your comments!
Oh oh.and it was going so well!! Looks like the new iPhone is having trouble navigating you into the right direction when it comes to the new map app. Apple had previously announced it would stop using Google Maps and replace it with its own fancy app. Users have noticed that the map is not only misplacing cities, it is also renaming them. I guess it could make life more interesting in a cruel and kinda annoying way, but jokes aside, the worst part in this story is the fact that Google Maps is currently not available in Apple’s App Store! All eyes on Apple now, who so far has failed to comment on this slight hiccup, in its ascend towards world domination.
Welcome to New York Lindsey Lohan! Please don’t hurt our citizens though!? She never listens though does she? What is up with that girl? We all desperately want to love her, adore her even. She is hot, she is talented, she has everything going for her.well apart from the slight substance abuse problems.and even that’s only cause she hasn’t found herself a man or woman to love! It always comes down to the parents doesn’t it? Anyhoo.Lindsey Lohan was arrested last night in NYC, after she allegedly hit a pedestrian, with her Porsche Cayenne. Police say Lohan clipped a pedestrian and fled the scene to party the night away at Dream downtown. But Lohan’s spokesman said the incident has been blown out of proportion and that the actress did not commit a crime. Let’s hope so Lindsey.I mean you are breaking our hearts!
