Bombings destroy music store, barbershops in Pakistani border area
An escalation from written warnings to bombings while the shops are closed. One assumes the next step will be bombings during business hours. "Bombs raze music centre," from the Daily Times:
KHAR: Five shops, including a music centre and two barbershops, were destroyed in two bomb blasts in Inayat Kalay town, about six kilometres from Bajaur Agency headquarters, officials said on Sunday.
There were no casualties in the blasts because the shops were closed at the time. The first bomb exploded in a barbershop at around 9:00pm on Saturday, while the second bomb exploded in a music centre at around 3:00am on Sunday. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the blasts. The Taliban have told barbers in Bajaur Agency not to shave people’s beards, and most barbers are abiding by the order.

"Correct yourselves": Pakistan jihadists threaten barbers
Sharia Alert. "Suspected Islamic militants warn barbers," by Habibullah Khan for Associated Press:
KHAR, Pakistan - Suspected Islamic radicals have issued a Taliban-style warning to barbers in a Pakistani border town not to shave off or cut their customers' beards, saying it offends Islam, residents said Monday.
Pamphlets with the warnings were found at several shops in Inayat Kalay in Pakistan's Bajur tribal region near the Afghan border, said Bacha Khan, a barber in the market town.
"Barbers! Correct yourselves," said the handwritten, Pashto-language notes, one of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
"Any barber shop where acts against Shariah (Islamic law) — shaving or cutting of beards — are seen, are given a final warning to stop this anti-Shariah work and if they do not stop, they should take responsibility for whatever harm they come to," it said.
The pamphlets were unsigned. However, Khan said he believed the warnings were from mujahedeen, or holy warriors — a term often used to describe Islamic militants.
He said two dozen barbers had responded by posting notices in their shops asking customers not to insist on getting a shave.
"We do not want to come to harm," Khan said. "If this work is against Shariah, we will stop it."
The warning echoed a decree issued under Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime ordering all men to grow beards, and it could reinforce concern that Pakistan's border areas are undergoing a "Talibanization" because of the presence of militants and radical preachers.

Iranian Imam Receives Christ Via Satellite TV, Escapes Country
Four More Imams Are Underground Believers
By Mark Ellis
Senior Correspondent, ASSIST News Service
WOODLAND HILLS, CALIFORNIA (ANS) -- One of the top Islamic leaders in Iran accepted Christ and left the country after facing death threats and imprisonment, according to an Iranian pastor living in the U.S.
“This man has been watching Christian TV programs for the past two years,” said Pastor Elnathan Baghestani, founder of Iran for Christ Ministries. (www.iranforchrist.com) Pastor Baghestani and his wife provide Christian programming to the Mohabat Network satellite, which broadcasts 24/7 into Iran and other Middle Eastern countries.
The imam called one of the phone counselors connected to Iran for Christ Ministries and prayed to receive Christ in early February. “The man has been watching Christian TV programs for the past two years,” Baghestani said. “He said he has believed since he began watching the programs but his salvation was sealed through his confession.”
“This man knows all the verses of the Qur’an by heart,” he added. “After he began watching, doubt began in his heart about the Islamic faith.” The man spent nine months in prison after he questioned the violence of radical Islam. Following his release from prison, he faced numerous death threats and escaped the country.
Several other religious leaders may follow suit. “He knows four other high-ranking imams that are in the same condition and want to leave Iran,” Baghestani said.
While it is illegal to own satellite dishes in Iran, many hide them on their roofs or other locations on their property. “They arrest people for having satellite dishes because they know the Christian programming is effective,” Baghestani noted.
The imam who fled left everything behind. “His salary was 700,000 of their monetary units every month,” Baghestani said. “He was honored and respected, but when the gospel came to him he lost everything,” he noted. “Now he is a poor refugee in a foreign country.”
“God is shaking the foundation of Islam in Iran,” Baghestani said. “We have been praying for some of the main government officials to come to Christ and God is answering us,” he reports. “I pray God will open more doors for us to send the gospel to the Middle East.”

This was the leading story on the local news last night. I'm thinking this is probably a muslim prison convert. The thought of a jihadi-style beheading here in the US is chilling.
Thanks for the info freeperfromnj.
Yep, it sure is chilling.
