I’ve been watching this mess unfold at the Red Mosque in Islamabad as minor matter of interest having just been in Islamabad recently. We drove down down Constitution Avenue and contemplated visiting the Shah Faisal Mosque because its the biggest mosque in the world and can hold some 80,000 worshippers and has some 5000sq meters of bum space…. but dismissed the plan based on the fact that it looked like an abomination of modern architecture and would likely be a disappointment after the beautiful Ottoman architecture of Istanbul… and in truth I do recall saying I was a bit ‘mosqued out’.
So anyway I am kinda glad we didn’t pop in for a visit… makes me happy not to have been anywhere near these whack jobs…. geographically or temporally. The situation has been going from bad to worse over the last week…

I just don’t get these people… they don’t seem to operate on the same plane of logic as the rest of us.
