ISLAMABAD, Nov 13, 2001 (Itar-Tass via COMTEX) -- Extremist Islamic organisations of Pakistan justify a possible use of nuclear or biological weapons by Osama bin Laden for the sake of "defending millions of Moslems." Abdul Rashid Ghazi, one of the leaders of the Pakistani Council for the Defence of Afghanistan, said so in an interview with The Nation newspaper. He added, however, that it remains to be proved that the Al-Qaeda leader has mass destruction weapons at his disposal.

The Council for the Defence of Afghanistan rallies 40 most radical Islamic organisations of Pakistan. It is of the opinion that religion "allows to use force against the civilian population, if it is impossible to distinguish between military and civilians, and if it is impossible to avoid massive loss of life." Ghazi and other theologians of the Council regard as "lawful" a war against the Moslems, who "use anti-Islamic forces as a shield."

The Islamic extremists are going to hold massive anti-government and anti-American demonstrations in Islamabad and Rawalpindi on November 16. They intend to rally about one million people around the slogans, which urge to stop the bombing of Afghanistan. The purpose of the demonstrations will be to make the Pakistani government give up its support for the operations of the international anti-terrorist coalition.

The fact that OBL is mentioning that he has them is worth noting. Whether he really does or not by now is beside the point really. (If he had them before 9-11 wouldn't he have used them?) They are worse than nuts. They are getting desperate as we move in on him. If he used a nuke on us, I would hope that we would have the guts to flatten the Hindu Kush range and maybe destroy Mecca, which would end Islam as we know it, considering pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the Pillars of the faith. nuts checks nuts. - Or maybe I'm just tired.

don't forget TWA and AA .

Being from the St. Louis area, I am familiar with the internal struggle the Machinist, Flight Attendants and Pilots from the soon to be absorbed TWA as they are phased into the American Airlines system. Most are concerned that their seniority within TWA will be lost at AA and they will lose their jobs or be relegated to part-time

But what's this got to do with Afghanistan?

[LouD]

Hope these boys can stand the counter-battery fire...

If they use nukes - It's time for a massive retaliation...

"asswipes"

LOL

Haven't heard that expression since high school.
Are you from Chicago?

LOL you mean that's a regional treasure? Yes, I am from Chicago. :)

Actually, I prefer the more refined term "buttmunch" when speaking in mixed company.

Something just dawned on me about why they have been abandoning cities in Afghanistan, though.

If you are thinking what I think you are thinking, then I'm thinking the same thing... or something like that.... I think...

What if they have left a nuke behind in one of the cities??????

[infowarrior]

If that scenario is true, of what possible worth would it be to Yomama bin Pantload and company? A nuke detonated in Kabul or Kandahar isn't going to kill "infidels", but Muslims by the thousands, thus negating their "We're defending Islam" argument...

"Donkeywipes" is another alternative for mixed company (with a dig at the DNC, too).

[Chad Fairbanks]

True... The only way I see this as a possible scenario is if we place VERY large numbers of people on the ground in and/or around Kabul - then it may look like a valid option to them, since they would then be 'defending Islam' from infidel invaders... just a thought...

I read this title as "Islamic extremists justify our possible use of nuclear weapons."

There's not a better bunch of folks that need killed ASAP!

[caddie]

Dude, that is too funny.

Car-54....

ROTFLMAO

AHAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAA.....

[LandofLincoln]

You show us yours and we will show you ours

[Redbob]

I wonder if they realize what they're doing in "justifying" the use of nuclear weapons?
Surely they know that justifications work both ways, and now, according to them, WE can use nukes?

But what's this got to do with Afghanistan?

TWA was the most terror prone American Carrier in the 80's and 90's.
Guess who owns TWA now?
AA does.
TWA was a American Symbol in the World, now AA has taken it place with United, that's why the Terrorist Hijacked 2 AA and 2 United airlines on 9-11.

Logistically, I can't take a bow, but I can sit and stay. Hows about a cookie?
