***Taliban mobilises 300,000 to fight holy war***
Irish Times ^

Posted on 09/24/2001 5:18:55 AM PDT by maquiladora

Afghanistan's ruling Taliban has mobilised 300,000 fighters, the group's defence minister said today. It has also warned neighbouring Uzbekistan against co-operating with any US military strikes after a US spy plane was shot down near the border.

"In the present situation the ministry of defence has registered an extra 300,000 people who are experienced in jihad [holy war]," Mr Mullah Obaidullah said in a statement in Kabul.

"They have been registered in the capital, the borders and other important sites".

The statement said more mujahedin were being registered across the country and that hundreds of thousands of people had expressed their willingness to fight.

"We have instructed the whole mujahed nation to prepare themselves for and to wage jihad at any time they think it is necessary," it said.

The Taliban has no standing army and relies on volunteers to fight the last remaining opposition forces in the north of the country.

Kewl! That means that they're troops. Which means they are fair game by even the most stringent standards.

One word: napalm.

Three names:

Albert Enstein
Pantex Plant
Hiroshima

No dummy, they keep using the same 70. Remember that when they get to the other side to meet those virgins, they left something behind.

So assuming one virgin per day, after 70 days it the "same-old same-old". Just the regular grind for all eternity.

Thanks for the heads up, I just want to make sure when we go in we're prepared for what's coming. The Afghan people are a tough group and that was my point.

300k is in probably closer to 30k. The Russian to Afghan kill ratio was about 8000:1 so I'm not sure how big a threat 300k would be anyway.

A news report over the weekend indicated that at the current rate 30,000 of their currency was worth about 50 cents.
You figure out the math!

This is great really, where do you hide 300,000 guerillas? This could lead to some jokes. The more men they have the harder, not easier, it will be for them to play their games.

300,000 un-trained terrorists, what next?

The terrorist have accelerated training programs which allow them to train and deploy special forces far quicker than their western counterparts. This is especially true for what the Taliban has determined is the most needed specialization which is various grades of demolition experts trained specifically for mine detection and detonation. The following breakdown accounts for the 300,000 mobilized:

1. Mine Demolition Expert Grade 1 - Men & women over 65 with one leg amputated not able to run. Approximately 35,000.

2. Mine Demolition Expert Grade 2 - Men & women over 65 with two legs not able to run. Approximately 65,000.

3. Mine Demolition Expert Grade 3 - Men and women between 64 and 35 not able to run. Approximately 25,000.

4. Mine Demolition Expert Grade 4 - Men and women between 64 and 35 able to run. Approximately 50,000.

5. Mine Demolition Expert Grade 5 - Men and women between 35 and 13 in reasonably good physical condition able to run Approximately 125,000.

American troops will be able to identify them easily. All have been trained to walk and/or run while stamping their feet and covering, if possible, both ears.

"How are they going to come up with 21,000,000 virgins?"

What I want to know is...What the hell are they going to do when one of the virgins catches on that there are 69 other virgins and she tells her best friend. In a matter of minutes there will be 21,000,000 virgins p!ssed as he|| and out for blood. That is not my idea of paradise.

Ghilman are the immortal young boys, pretty like pearls, clothed in green silk and brocade an embellished with bracelets of silver.

Can you give a source for homo-erotic Islamic "paradise"?

(This is the real deal. I reformatted it but left in the misspellings) 

Islamic Morality by Anwar Shaikh


 As every student of psychology knows, the purpose of any fundamentalism is to secure blind following from its adherents. This is possible only when they are conditioned to a certain object or goal which begins to rank as the sole purpose of their lives. As a result, the purpose begins to overrule the method of acquisition; whatever secures it is good and whatever obstructs it is bad. In a nutshell, people must stop thinking for themselves, especially in terms of morality. As the Marxists brainwashed people in the name of proletarianism and what it stood for, the Muslims have been conditioned to the person of the Prophet Muhammad, who is projected as the Saviour of his followers, having complete power to find them permanent residence in paradise, which is the abode of luxury, love making and lasciviousness. Since Muslims, in most countries are deprived, depressed and desolated, they are prepared to do anything to uphold the honour of the Prophet. For total obedience, they are at liberty to indulge in the most convenient morality such as mendacity, rape, murder, theft and treason without losing their chance of entering the paradise which has been absolutely guaranteed by their faith in the Prophet Muhammad. A corollary of this belief is the oppression of non-Muslims by the Muslims, who deny human rights to the unbelievers for upholding the Islamic precepts in relation to the infidels. As a result, non-Muslims are discouraged to live in the Muslim countries even if they have originally belonged to their ancestors. 

It is justified on the precedent that the Prophet Muhammad expelled all Jews and unbelievers from Arabia. The modern example is that of Pakistan, the original home of the Hindus. There were millions of non-Muslims in this land before partition of India but as Pakistan came into being they all were thrown out through malice, mutilation and massacre. On the contrary, over 100,000,000 Muslims live in India and demand human rights! 

In Islamic countries, the non- Muslim minorities are either non-existent or very tiny indeed. This strangulation of human rights has become a part of the Islamic morality. Since Islam is the Din-e-Ghalib i.e. the religion of dominance by God's will, Muslim minorities in non-lslamic countries do everything possible to harass, humiliate and harangue the host countries to practise their faith and culture. The "Muslim Parliament" of Great Britain is an example in point. In fact, this coterie of a few hundred Muslim fanatics, is a mockery of the British tolerance and hospitality. Its major role is to collect donations from its adherents, forbid Muslims to seek identification with Great Britain and practise all rules of Islamic intolerance towards the host community. There is no concept of parliamentary government in Islam, whatever, yet these hatred-mongers have set up this association in the Land of Magna Carta, dedicated to liberty. It is only a matter of time before the British government take notice of its evil influence on the British culture, causing problems also for those who have adopted the British ways and are proud to be sincere citizens of this land. 

 

Use of violence for securing worldly goal and terrorisation of non-Muslims are the pillar of Islamic morality. It is done through: 1. secular laws which are made in the name of Islam, and 2. the laws which Allah has framed and require no legislative authority and procedures. Now, let us ponder over these two points: 1a. Islam declares Muhammad the greatest of all prophets and therefore reserves the highest reverence for him. This has become an article of faith. A Muslim, unwilling to force it on others, is considered deficient in belief. As a result, every Muslim looks for an opportunity to demonstrate the magnitude of his faith by molesting non-Muslims, and even fellow- believers who express less bigotory in this field. Politicians have seized upon this emotional condition of the Muslim mind to enhance their grip on power. For example, Pakistan has passed TOHEEN-E- RASUL ACT (Contempt of Prophet's Act), which prescribes death for insulting the Prophet Muhammad. Such an Act has never been passed in the world of Islam during the last fourteen centuries; nor is there any religious justification for it.
