I’m seeing this make the rounds on the old blogosphere (from Nina Shea). The United Postal Service’s guidelines for what you can’t send to Islamic countries:
- Obscene articles (prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc) and horror comics.
- Any matter depicting nude or seminude persons, pornographic or sexual items, or nonauthorized political materials.
- Bulk quantities of religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith. Items for the personal use of the addressee are permissible.
- Pork or pork by-products.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s absurd to have to subjugate ourselves to other country’s governmental rules, when we are there blowing up said people?
I’m sure there’s a very reasonable, non-kowtowing reason for this policy. Right?
Right?
Right?
