Once in a while there comes along a person so blinded by racism (oh, he sees it in everyone and everything - except in the most logical place, his own self) and so wilfully ignorant, he deserves to be mocked at and made fun of. Gokul pointed out one such person to me yesterday. Here is his article - Back to the Stone Age. Let us take it apart piece by stinking piece, shall we? Oh boy, this is almost too easy.
First of all, our man here takes exception with the war on Iraq and calls it racial because, check this out - the media called most people "Ali".
There was jubilation at the presumed death of “Chemical Ali” in southern Iraq. “Chemical Ali” was reportedly blown to bits in a private house in Basra .... But no chemical weapons were presumably found in and around his private pozzie.
“Ali” had become, or had re-become, a contemptuous term of abuse for Arabs who didn’t subscribe to the alliance’s programme in general. So “Comical Ali” he became, even though his name was far from “Ali”. His name, in fact, is, or was, Mohammed Saheed al-Sahaf."
.........
He stood up, in the face of cowardly Sherman or Lincoln or Al Capone or Rockefeller tanks or whatever they were called (take your pick) backed by an invincible force that had nothing to stand up against it, and spoke defiance in the face of an enemy that had no credible answer to offer him — except force.
Oh, and then this moron hopes that al-Sahaf is safe wherever he is - does he read any newspapers at all? If so, he might have known that the minister tried to swing a deal with the Americans recently to avoid being killed. How honorable and defiant!
And then he goes on and on about "Pathetic Ali", "Hectic Ali", "Maimed Ali" and a bunch of Alis I have never heard of (the nicknames, not the people), in a pathetic attempt to portray ummm,...er ...huh... I don't know. I really don't know what he is getting at, except that he hated the war on Iraq and he thinks it is racist because it involved some guys named Ali.
Well John, here are some other Alis I would like for you to meet - "Tortured Ali", his wife "Raped Ayesha", "Dead Ali", "Gassed Ali", "Starved Ali" - enough, or should I call in a few more from the mass graves, you stupid moron, you waste of space and oxygen!

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Funny stuff!:
Shanti, I can only pity the guy. Living under apartheid must’ve screwed up his cranial wiring, rendering him incapable of rational, logical thought.
This section regarding the war provides the most painful evidence of the poor man’s disability:
What if all of this had been going on in Scotland or New Zealand? As far as I can tell, those countries are also in possession of weapons of mass destruction. Not to mention a number of other countries we could mention.
The only difference being that people in those countries are, for the most part, not Arabs, or “Alis”. Or darkies of some other stripe. Which means that they cannot be attacked. A moral line has to be drawn somewhere.
Enough said.

True, Gokul - this reminds me so much of Mandela’s rants that the only reason US was going to war was because Annan was black. Gimme a break - I agree these people have gone through and hell and back fighting apartheid, but they become irrelevant and ignored if they don’t update their mindsets to deal with the current realities of the world.
Hello, people! Welcome to 2003, waaay different from 1983!

He missed Bowling Ali and Ali Fleischer.

He also forgot that the Pak-Alis, officially declared nuclear country, is obsessed with flaunting it’s arsenal. “Our weapons are better than India’s” - the only thing they can say about them since every other technical details are in Chinese!
