Lawyers comprise the most vocal segment of the demonstrations, and homosexuals have engaged in public acts of indecency during the protests.

| Message | The Royal Kafuristan News Agency::: January 17, 3227 The angry mobs in Lehonti have failed to disperse, and popular protest and demonstrations have spread to other cities in Pabeus. In Pachus, there was intense protest by a lawyer's union, demanding greater litigation rights against the Sultan's courts and the Emirate sub-national governments today, with outlandish claims of "abuse" and "corruptions." Many of the lawyer's complaints are unfounded and some of the demands are either illogical or trivial and have no place in all judiciaries, from the superior Sharia Courts, down to the municipal claims courts. The BBGs are just hooligans who have no coherent message, besides their carnal sexual pleasures and their subversion of many years of cultures. The demonstrations have spread to other Emirates and has become a serious problem in O'mer. Where even riots have broken out. The rioters claim to be known as the "Freedom Thunder". This month, four police stations in Kumen were attacked, and a school was ransacked by the "Freedom Thunder". In Abi' Nadi, protests calling for the removal of the Sultan and Emirs have spring up in the southern cities and towns. While most of the protests are allied with the Black Blue and Green Movement, these protests consists mostly of mushrikeen goddess-worshippers rather than liberals and pro-democracy elements. They believe in the supremacy of a alien warrior goddess named "Aniki", and some of the male Anikias have castrated their testicles as a form of believe to Aniki. However, there is resistance to the subversive and degenerate protests. In Kumen, a grocer market owner named Mustafa Kamal Abdulhakim Al-Farrkhani, his neighbors, friends, male employees in his grocery business and other like-minded people, have taken the "Freedom Thunders" head on through by challenging them on the streets, while waving the Kafurstan Flag and having brawls against the degenerate protests. "You think we're going to sit down with our fingers in our nose while these subversive gays, lawyers, cultural marxists besmirch our proud nation and people? They must be challenged, not only challenged...but pacified. Thuggery is their language, and we will respond in kind. However, I am dismayed that the police and security forces are taking their sweet-ass time in deploying force against these degenerates!" Mustafa announced to reporters. "If something is not done, we will take the power and guns of General Naveed Ibn Firdos al-Hasheem's away from him and into OUR hands as a unified force and we will make these queers bleed!" Mustafa added in a fit of national pride while he gives a the highest, mortal insult in the air in front of public television directed towards Iyoub and the BBGM --Station nightly closing identification before the off-air session, with the colored bars and tones appear on the screen of television sets all over Kufaristan until next morning--- |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
