Extreme Kite Flying...

... in Pakistan.

Actually many Asian countries from Pakistan to Indonesia practice hard- core kite competition, with such substances as ground glass on the strings to cut your rival's kite off. Libby was once warned away from picking up a fallen kite in Nepal for that reason.

But two things to note here. First, the government warns that if you kill someone with a kite it might be considered terrorism. Fair enough I guess-- but how do you kill someone with a kite?!

Second, the Islamists want it stopped because it is un- Islamic, because it is violent.

I'm betting they want to ban it because it is fun-- it was banned inTaliban times in Afghanistan, as was flying pigeons-- see "Talibanning Pigeons, left.
