I just got back from a trip to South Africa.  I would like to confirm that indeed the stars are different on the other side of the world, the water goes down the drain in the other direction, the sun arcs on the other side, and penguins live in dirt not on ice! 

It was CRAZY!  Bands of marauding penguins ruthlessly hunt down defenseless bunnies!  And men and women pray side by side in a mainstream mosque without jumping each other for sex in the middle of the salat!

Insha’Allah, I’ll be posting about my trip in several parts over the next few weeks.  I plan to write on my trip to a Muslims girls’ school, the Muslim Youth Movement, women doing gender activism, profiles of some extraordinary people, and cultural dissonance.

President Ahmedinejad is set to star as the Sterling Hayden character "Jack D Ripper" in a remake of Stanely Kubrik's black comedy masterpiece "Dr. Strangelove." The film will be updated for today's headlines and the title changed to "Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Holocaust Denial."

(warning spoiler follows)

Jack “Ahmedinejad” Ripper, a delusional Iranian President, executes his plan to strike Isreal with Holocaust Denials, in order to thwart a Zionist conspiracy which he believes threatens to "sap and impurify" the "precious bodily fluids" of the Iranian people with street food falafels disguised in baguettes rather than their usual identifying pita. Ripper convinces everyone at the Tehran Air Force Base that Iran is in a "shooting war" with Isreal, and orders the 843rd Holocaust Denial Wing (which is then airborne in a training exercise called "Operation An-An") past its fail-safe points and into Isreal. Mulla Nasruddin, a cleric participating in an "exchange program" with the Iranian Airforce, suspects that all is not as it seems when he turns on a radio and hear government sponsered Qu’ran recitations instead of Defense alerts.

Maybe someone should tell this good neighbor that Muslims agree one should not kill and eat pigs, but rather race them at county fairs. I mean, duh! 

Houston suburb angry over mosque plan

Some residents object to plan; neighbor threatens to hold pig races The Associated PressUpdated: 3:24 p.m. ET Dec 7, 2006

KATY, Texas – A plan to build a mosque in this Houston suburb has triggered a neighborhood dispute, with community members warning the place will become a terrorist hotbed and one man threatening to hold pig races on Fridays just to offend the Muslims.

Ashly Higgens, a former student of mine and a reader of PI.Org website, sent me this hysterical photo from DC's "High Heel Drag Race."  It seems to put the proper note to the absurdity of the anti-niqab discussion.  Niqab is as American as you can get when it gets to be campy drag wear.  Fellow Muslims, we have  arrived!
