Butterfly wings in Tokyo; Pig flatulence in Islamabad

You know the chaos theory nostrum about how a butterfly flapping its wings in Tokyo can cause tornados in Texas? Well, how about a filthy disease-ridden Islamist pig breaking wind in Islamabad--could that affect events in Tulsa, Oklahoma?

If my comment section is any indication, they're trying to. Two comments, fifteen minutes apart, under different names but from the same Islamabad IP address (202.147.176.236), urge the leaders of the Tulsa mosque to expel critic of Al-Qaeda Jamal Miftah. They also claim they will cause Miftah to be expelled from the United States, something Miftah's enemies in Pakistan have already tried in that same comment thread (and which Michael Bates has debunked).

I suspect the events are connected--I show up nowhere on the first two pages of Google results for "Jamal Miftah", although I like to think I played a fairly important role in publicizing his plight--so someone familiar with Miftah's case probably chose to put it there, as opposed to random spam.

I've been tracking the progress of the Islamist takeover in Islamabad here at the JYB. When I was born, what happened in Islamabad probably had very little to do with what happened in Tulsa. Things have changed, haven't they? A man picks up a pen to criticize Ayman Al-Zawahiri in the Tulsa World, and way off in Pakistan the neo-Taliban tries to get him kicked out of the country.

If you think that we can appease these fanatics, that they will be willing to let America be America if we let Talibanistan be Talibanistan, then you are deluded.
