Pakistan: Jihadists bomb music and video shops


The fact that Islamic law forbids music is often ignored by Muslims, and bringing it up will get you a quick charge of "Islamophobia" in the U.S. today. But in Pakistan, Islamic jihadists know full well that Islam forbids music, and are acting upon it.

The moral of this story is: Never accept a random offer of cooking oil from an unidentified person.

There Is No Joy In Islam* Alert: "Pakistan blast targets music, videos," from AFP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

PESHAWAR - A homemade bomb in a Pakistan market damaged four music and video shops on Sunday just weeks after their owners refused an order to close down from Islamic hardliners.
Police said two people were injured in the blast at a market in Peshawar, the largest city in the deeply conservative North West Frontier Province along the border with Afghanistan.

One of the shopowners, Bashir Khan, said that hardliners calling themselves the “Soldiers of Islam” had left him a note several weeks ago, saying that music shops in the Gulshan market should close their doors.

“We had informed the police about the note and requested them to provide security,” Khan said....

The guard said that an unidentified man had handed him a tin of cooking oil, which exploded minutes after the man left.

The province has seen previous attacks on video and music shops blamed on extremists emulating the ultra-orthodox Taleban, who ruled neighbouring Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.

There has been growing concern about the “Talebanisation” of Pakistan and the introduction of Islamic sharia law in tribal areas.

Last week two men and a woman were stoned and shot to death for adultery in a tribal area.

*The Ayatollah Khomeini said that.

Jihadists cut off Afghans' noses, ears

For collaborating with the U.S. This is another indication that the jihadists don't believe that mutilation is against Islam.

"Militants cut off Afghans' noses, ears," from AFP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

Militants have cut off the noses and ears of three Afghan drivers supplying United States military bases in Afghanistan.
Officials also say a United Nations mine-clearer was shot in an ambush near Kabul.

In other insurgency-linked unrest on Saturday, three Australian soldiers were slightly hurt when a rocket struck Kandahar Air Field, the NATO force headquarters in southern Afghanistan.

The Afghan drivers were attacked in the eastern province of Nuristan, where Taliban insurgents and other Islamic militants are active.

"After downloading their supplies into a coalition base in Nuristan, they were heading to [neighbouring] Kunar," Nuristan deputy police chief Ghulamullah told AFP.

"On their way, the Taliban stopped them and cut off their noses and ears."

The police chief, who uses only one name, said it was apparent punishment for working with Western militaries.

The men's trucks were torched.

I know I agree with Beck about using an incinerator for perverts. They could be accompanied by the despicable attorneys and judges who reward them with light or negligible sentences, enabling them to repeat offend. The basic concept of "right" and "wrong" appears to be an archaic concept to them and those who espouse them.

Thanks for the continued prayers for my sister and niece. They truly do need all the prayers they can get.

Statewide Hepatitis epidemic

Snip: According to the New York Post, cases of the virus have doubled in the last five years. And officials say, that's only the tip of the iceberg. The most recent statistics show that the city had more than 14,000 cases of Hepatitis C in 2005. Last year's data isn't available yet, but officials are predicting a big hike.

Hepatitis C is commonly spread through needles or sex with multiple partners. But many people may not show symptoms for up to 20 years.

Restaurant workers (McDonald's) have TB tests after worker dies

Snip: MT. COMFORT, Ind. -- Health department workers administered tuberculosis tests to employees of a McDonald's restaurant Monday after a co-worker tested positive for the disease and died.

The person who died worked at the McDonald's off Interstate 70's Mt. Comfort Road exit in western Hancock County. She tested positive for tuberculosis at the time of her death, 6News' Derrik Thomas reported.

More on the McDonalds TB death (damage control):

McDonald's workers tested for TB

Snip: So far, test results show no one at the restaurant has tuberculosis. Health officials say customers should not be concerned about eating there.

"Someone who traveled or even ate there frequently should not have any worries at all about contracting the t.b.," said Dr. Ray Haas, Hancock County Health Department.
