sheesh... All the problems in Afganistan and this is what they focus on? Just goes to show. Politicians are stupid everywhere.
The NonSmoking Ban widens its’ ring.
Jeez... let’s start with basic sanitation.
Nanny State Ping.
Are they quitting smoking dope or cigarettes?
Just to clarify:
You CANNOT light up a Marlboro at the flea market (where they sell ACTUAL fleas!), but...
You CAN set your wife/wives aflame in the village square in accordance with Sharia law.
I hope this clears things up for those of you who might have been confused.
Al Qaeda Cigarette Ban Called “Intriguing” by Anti-Tobacco Group
Al Qaeda in Iraq has piqued the interest of some American anti-smoking lobbyists with its “no nonsense” approach to fighting against the filthy habit. Al Qaeda’s Sharia Court has decreed that smokers will be sanctioned by having the two “smoking fingers” amputated.
The anti-smoking campaign is part of al Qaeda’s broader effort to uplift the morals of the Islamic faithful. Other measures include beatings for men who refuse to grow beards and those engaging in “loose” behavior, such as carrying tomatoes and cucumbers in the same bag.
Bessy Bodie, chairperson of the Foundation Against Tobacco Use (FATU), said her organization has gained respect for al Qaeda efforts to stamp out smoking. “Like everyone else, we had been brainwashed into thinking that al Qaeda was just a bunch of murderous fanatics,” Bodie said. “But this shows that they aren’t all bad. Who’s to say these harsh measures won’t end up saving more lives in the end? I certainly think it would be an effective way to persuade people not to smoke. Maybe we should keep an open mind about it.”

This should ratchet up the violence. Maybe the government troops will be more aggressive if they are in nicotine withdrawal.
