Iraq: Cleric's threat to female troops (keep her as slave if captured)

Iraqi worshippers have been told that anyone who captures a female British soldier can keep her as a slave.

A senior aide of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr also called on supporters to launch holy war against British troops in Basra.

Sheik Abdul-Sattar al-Bahadli held in his hand what he said were documents and photographs of three Iraqi women being raped at British-run prisons in Iraq.

Al-Bahadli said 250,000 dinars (£195) will be given to anyone who captures a British soldier and 100,000 dinars (£83) for the killing of one.

He also offered cash for anyone who captures or kills a member of the Governing Council, a widely unpopular interim administration appointed by the US led occupation 10 months ago.

He also called on government departments in Basra to display pictures of al-Sadr in their offices.

Al-Bahadli, al-Sadr's chief representative in southern Iraq, was speaking at al-Hawi mosque in central Basra.

This is the first time that any anti-occupation activist of note offers financial reward for the killing or capturing of coalition troops.

It is likely to be viewed by occupation authorities with concern at a time of rising anti-occupation sentiment and continuing fighting between al-Sadr's al-Mahdi Army militia and US forces in the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala.

Al-Bahadli kept an assault rifle next to him as he spoke to an estimated 3,000 worshippers, occasionally lifting it as he screamed "jihad," and "Allahu Akbar," or "God is greatest."

Good idea, but too small on the implementation. Several HUNDRED of them, OR perhaps something in a larger caliber.

155 mm comes to mind. . .

This brings to mind the false rape story circulated just before the homicide bombings in Turkey some months ago. A relative of one of the bombers said that the bomber was extremely upset over (false) stories that US GI's were raping Iraqi women.

al-Bahadli needs to have a date with one of these:

al-Bhadli, your leash is waiting for you.

Oh crap.

Heretofore be it known: This pronouncement has
enraged me. I demand an apology from the King of Jordan, a Prince of Saudi Arabia, and Yassar Arafat.

[BayouCoyote]

This makes me wonder just how many muslims state side feel the same way about infidel women here? Does this type of behavior help them recruit more militants to their side for the spoils of jihad?

Sick freaks.

Not only should he pay reparations afterwards, he should make a statement to the worldwide press that he is "sorry".

I have been saying this for three months now. Time to make Jimmy Dean a official defense contractor.

In an earlier thread on the matter of the treatment of the Iraqi detainees, I wrote:

"Kidnapping is an art for among the Jihadists. This perverted NOW-sow would do well to stay inside the fort now that her ugly mug has been flashed all over the globe. The indigenous camel-rapers are big on ironic revenge....."

Sometimes being "prescient" sucks.

The present thread comes as no surprise, but I am puzzled as to why the bastards have targetted British female soldiers....

It's the oldest trick in the book : They're trying to drive a wedge between the US and the UK. They're like sixth grade girls, only instead of ," You're friends with Michelle, and I can't stand her, so I won't sit with you anymore ", it's "We're gonna enslave British females, but not American females." It's supposed to make the British madder at the USA than at the adherents of the garbage religion which condones slavery.Moslems have the brains and emotional development of children.

"I'm assuming sex slave is what this atavistic black turbaned dufus is saying"

Naw, but if she were a little boy, she'd have a real problem......

If I were over there, I would carry arsenic pills with me. Being kept in any capacity by them, with all that goes with it, is a fate worse than death.

bttt

Probably because they are scared sh*tless when they saw the pics of how our American women would strike back.

I am only hoping those pics give the Muslim women some food for thought. They have been oppressed for long both mentally and physically. Yet, I haven't heard a peep from any Maxine Waters and the Womyn as far as the real atrocities that have gone on for centuries to the women in these Muslim countries. Guess they are too preoccupied solving the BIG CRISIS in the world like criticizing Laura Bush and Barney! Our Tax Dollars at Work!

Better than nuking them all: I'm so sick of these bastards I'd like to see us open a pig farm inside Mecca. TODAY.

What's the risk? Will they hate us? Call for Jihad? Suicide bombers? Whatever, already done.
