Jihadists Against Bag Searches I found this website via another great blog that I keep in my feed reader, Atlas Shrugged. It's called The People's Cube and looks to be cut from a cloth similar to the Onion. Where the Onion succeeds in purce farce, however, the People's Cube seems to strive for the sardonic. Here's the first article that caught my attention:
Jihadists Against Bag Searches A new civil rights group is fighting a shameful practice: bag searches in the New York City subways that are infringing on the rights of suicide bombers to kill and maim hundreds of New Yorkers. The group that calls itself Jihadists Against Bag Searches distributed flyers today to straphangers (image, left), warning them of the erosion of civil liberties in America. Dressed in oversized trench coats and carrying heavy backpacks, the group members asked the New Yorkers a simple yet disarming question: "Is this the country you really want to live in, if it profiles a minorit that has blown up cars, buildings, buses, trains, and airplanes in the past?" "They're right," a concerned young lawyer told our correspondent." With so many people entering the subway, how can we be sure that the searches are absolutely random? There's a big chance it's all a cover-up for profiling minorities. If the police succeeds in preventing them from blowing me up on the train, it will be the end of my civil liberties. I better send another big check to ACLU - that is, if I don't wind up with both of my arms torn off in a blast." Posted by Michael at August 10, 2005 12:23 AM |
