In The Daily Mail (yes, THAT Daily Mail), Patrick French profiles Shakeel Ahmad Bhat (via Amitava Kumar):
Don’t you hate Islamic Rage Boy? ‘MoBlows’, writing on the Jihad Watch website, certainly does.
“I just want to put my fist down his throat,” he says. The ‘boy’ in question rose to prominence earlier this year when he was photographed at a demonstration in Srinagar, capital of Indian-administered Kashmir.
Later, he was spotted waving his fist at another camera during a protest against the awarding of a knighthood to author Salman Rushdie.
With his straggly beard and big shouting mouth, Rage Boy certainly looks like a threat.
His scary face now appears on boxer shorts and bumper stickers, and he scores more than a million results on Google.
A regular spoof diary appears online in his name and he has come to stand for all that is most frightening about radical Islam.
But who is the real person behind the cartoon and what does he believe in? I travelled to Kashmir in search of the poster-boy of fundamentalism.
