Ulema Council Denounces Jamal Assassination as 'Un-Islamic'
 [TOLONEWS] During the funeral ceremony of Arsala Jamal, the recently assassinated Governor of Pashtun-infested Logar province, a number of Ulema Council Members highlighted the use of the Holy Qur'an as a hiding place for the bomb that killed the Governor, condemning it as a gross offense to Islam.I dunno what's "un-Islamic" about it. Just another human sacrifice. Allan demands them, y'know. At the ceremony held in Kabul, where a number of Jamal's relatives were accompanied by high-ranking government officials, the Ulema Council Members called the attack "un-Islamic" and accused bully boyz of flouting the very precepts of Islam they claim to defend. I guess they're talking about hiding the bomb in the Koran. But it's okay if Moslems do it, I think. It sez so in the Koran someplace. You could look it up. Although the Taliban was quick to deny responsibility for the bombing, "No, no! Certainly not!" which occurred on the first day of Eid celebrations while the Governor was beginning a speech at a mosque in Pul-e-Alam, most have assumed bad boy involvement. Oh, pshaw. No way! "The Ulema Council and High Peace Council condemn the attack, it was an illegal act," said Shahzada Shahed, a member of the Ulema Council that attended the funeral ceremony. "It was an Eid day, a day of happiness, when we would never expect such an incident, one where the Holy Qur'an is used." Is it still a Koran when it's hollowed out and filled with explosives? The comments came a day after the National Directorate of Security (NDS) announced that through investigations it became evident the bomb that killed Jamal and maimed nearly twenty others was hidden inside the mosque's Holy Qur'an. This contradicted earlier reports that the device had been stashed inside the microphone used by the Governor. Regardless, it was still in a mosque, so it's theologically allowed. The Profit himself woulda done the same. The Ulema Council members joined an outpouring of condemnations Widespread tut-tuttery... that flowed from Afghans and foreigners alike since news of the liquidation broke. In addition to Afghan officials in Kabul and other provinces, the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... (UN) and U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham issued harsh denunciations of the killing as well as words of empathy to Afghans. During the funeral ceremony on Thursday, Pashtun-infested Logar Provincial Council Deputy Ghulam Yahya praised Jamal for his service and performance while Governor. Reportedly, the Pashtun-infested Logar Governor was expected to be appointed to Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Interior in the near future. Jamal had been the target of a number of attacks that he was able to thwart while Governor of Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... prior to holding office in Pashtun-infested Logar. Tuesday's liquidation was not the first time a Pashtun-infested Logar Governor had been assassinated. Back in 2008, then provincial governor Abdullah Wardak was killed by a remote control mine detonated by Taliban bully boyz as he departed his house. The circumstances surrounding Jamal's death also beared resemblance to the 2010 Taliban liquidation of Kunduz Governor Mohammad Omar, the last time a provincial governor was killed in Afghanistan. Omar was similarly targeted and killed by a bombing inside of a mosque during the month of October. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-18 |
