Now, a 'diktat' to non-Muslim women

By Shujaat Bukhari

SRINAGAR SEPT. 8. The campaign aimed at ``Talibanisation'' of Kashmir took a new turn today, when the militant outfit, Lashkar- e-Jabbar (LeJ), asked non-Muslim women to adopt a new dress code so that they are spared from the ``action'' to be initiated against Muslim women after September 10.

In a statement issued to local newspapers here on Saturday, the outfit spokesman said, ``we appeal to our Hindu sisters to sport a `bindi' on their forehead and Sikh sisters to wear saffron dupattas so that they are identified easily''. This, he said would ensure that they are not subjected to ``our action against the Muslim women who have been asked to observe `purdah' after September 10''. The spokesman reiterated the outfit's stand on asking the Muslim women to observe ``purdah''. The LeJ hit the headlines recently when it spearheaded the ``purdah'' campaign in Kashmir and was involved in some incidents of throwing acid on women without veil. It has asked the transporters to reserve 50 per cent of seats in the buses for women passengers. The campaign has been supported by radical groups like the Dukhtaran-e-Millat and the Jamiat-ul Mujahideen and even the former APHC chairman, Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

However, the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Hizb-ul Mujahideen condemned the acid attacks on women. Kashmir's chief priest, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, also opposed the ``forceful'' move and said that this was not the way to enforce Islamic way of life. There can be other means of making people aware about the dress code in accordance with the teachings of Islam. The LeJ threat has certainly had an impact and has got an encouraging response. But suspicion is that some cloth merchants may also be behind the campaign.

Ahhh, the sweet tolerance of our muslim brothers.

Do Jewish women have to wear yellow stars on their arms?

Wait, there are no Jewish women over there, or in any Muslim-dominated area. I wonder why?

[rebdov]

Maybe the acid is only vinegar or orange juice. You don't think it could be sulphuric or nitric acid, could you???

[freedom_from_socialism]

"Do Jewish women have to wear yellow stars on their arms?"

Well, once the muslims take over Israel and destroy it(which is likely), the Jews will face another holocaust. So, I hope these radical left-wing Jewish groups in USA open their eyes before its too late.

"Well, once the muslims take over Israel and destroy it(which is likely),"

Whoah Whoah. You forsee a US led military defeat at the hands of an Arab front? That is laughable.

'we appeal to our Hindu sisters to sport a `bindi' on their forehead and Sikh sisters to wear saffron dupattas so that they are identified easily'

Now, if all they want to do is separate the Moslems from the non-Moslems, why should they care that different infidels dress differently?

Good point. LOL!!

[SevenDaysInMay]

Is honor killing called for if women don't wear the tent?

If a "man" is killed trying to "correct" disobeying women, does he get the 72 virgins in Paradise like the suicide bombers?

Keep the Faith, Baby.

...throwing acid on women without veil.

In Indonesia they herded Christians like cattle down a street to convert to Islam or be killed and then forcibly circumcised them with rusty razorblades before welcoming them as Islam converts.  Among those who chose to die rather than convert were many who escaped to the hills where they died of starvation: 200,000 Christians.  Meanwhile, a shipload of Muslims, fake refugees from Osama Ben Laden's country whose main exports are Muslim terrorism and drug trafficking, sits off the coast of Australia (which still is aghast at the gang rape of 70 girls), demanding that they be granted admission.  The U.N. say we come in peace...by flattery they deceive many.  Perhaps they are just coming looking for Pizza Parlors!

I actually think that battery acid is easier for Moslems to come by than vinegar (which comes from wine, which devout Moslems don't make or drink). In Egypt several women were blinded by whatever was thrown in their faces (which included spray paint) for wearing European-style clothes.

I think it's 70.

I'm for limited purdah here in the U.S. All fat women with ugly cellulite and varicose veins should be forced to wear ankle voluminous length skirts.

[Zorobabel]

oops, ankle length voluminous skirts. heh.

[usconservative]

Correction: Ahhh, the sweet tolerance of our muslim brothers animal friends.

They aren't "people" ... they're animals.

[Travis McGee]

They are people who are very seriously misguided.

[Lent]

I take it this type of behaviour was condemned at the Durban Conference?

[Nachum]

Why (gasp!) they are practicing aparthied!!!
