Islamic militants in Pakistan's tribal areas, which border Afghanistan have issued a decree banning music from mobile phone ringtones and vehicles in tribal areas of the country. A spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Maulana Faqir Mohammed said, the they would not allow commuters to play music in their cars or use musical ringtones on mobile phones.
He warned that offenders would be punished according to Shariah laws.
Maulana Faqir Mohammed has been an outlaw in the region due to his reported close contact with Taliban and al-Qaeda elements. He has however been disowned by the tribal elders, who in 2006 - following local traditions - burnt down his house as a signal of disapproval of his activities and warned him to surrender to the authorities.
This is not the first time that Taliban leaders have tried to clamp down on music in their areas - and a wave of attacks on mobile phone stores in North Waziristan was carried out last October to stop them selling music capable phones.
The shop-owners said at the time that they had received several letters, asking them not to sell mobile phones pre-loaded with 'musical' ring tones. Many retailers had started offering phones pre-loaded with 'jihadi' ringtones, but this did not seem enough to appease the militants.
Another stroke of pure genius....gads, these people are stewpid.

“Can you hear it now?” islamic ping
Yeah and blood of innocewnts is “holy”
I’d like to send them the old “Porky Pig” tune.
Ah to live in stone age again. Sharia law, eh. So they could be stoned for having music ringtones on the cell phones they use to blow up IED’s?
good point
We may joke about some of our backoods countrymen being inbred, but I doubt everyone means it.
They really DO marry their cousins. It must be how they plan to create a society so @#@#$%^ stupid that it buys the 72 Raisins Doctrine, and dresses their kids in explosives &etc.
Everybody cut foot-loose.
This article should be text messaged to every teen and pre-teen in the world. “Why is Islam bad? Because they’ll cut your head off if you play your favorite band as a ring tone!”
However to use your cell phone to detonate a bomb to kill Jews and Infidels is OK.
Let me check the appropriate sharia law...stealing, cut off the right hand, apostasy, cut off the head, listening to ring-tones; cut off the ears?
Would be fun to hack them all so their ringtones were the sound of an incoming artillery round. ;’)
You’re welcome, FRiend.
That right there is funny, I don't care who you are!
