| Lashkar-e-Jabbar sadist(s) threaten "loose" Kashmir women with acid |
| 2002-03-15 |
"Restrict your activities, do not mingle with strangers and wear the burqa," LeJ chief Irfan Jameel said in a statement to women on Friday. Should he be defied, "we will be compelled to throw acid on our sisters," Jameel said. The deadline for compliance this time is April 1. "Yes, sisters. Our actions aren't to be controlled by us, but by you. We are your helpless puppets. If you don't do as we say, we'll do as you force us." Is it just me or does that kind of logic not make any sense? And if it's a sin to bare an elbow in front of a man you're not married to, isn't it more of a sin to throw acid on somebody else's relative? Throw it on your own damned sister, if it matters that much to you. And take the punishment when you do. "For various reasons, we had had to stop our activities for some time," Jameel said. "But this boosted obscene and outrageous practices in the valley." Now, LeJ cadres would take on the "forces of evil — the time has come to strike and eliminate all those who are out to destroy the social and moral fabric of our society". Wonder what those "various reasons" might have been? Could the reason be that the entire cadre of the "army" was laid up with a broken leg? Or perhaps just that the entire cadre of the "army" was out of the country, perhaps waving a rusty AK at infidels in Afghanistan and just got let out of a shipping container with 600 other guys with turbans, beards and six months' worth of B.O.? Jameel asked cable TV operators to stop airing "obscene and immoral" films, and told parents to "keep a vigil on their children". "If we find any girl mixing with alien boys, they will be severely punished." No Paula and Tonya, duking it out on Fox? I'd emigrate first! To which alien boys is he referring? He doesn't want good Muslim girls hanging out with heathen Hindoos? Or green fellows with antennae who wiggle their palps when they dance? Or he just doesn't want them hanging out, period? The LeJ's Talibanistic diktats last year had included ordering Hindu women to wear bindis and Sikh women to wear saffron dupattas so that they could be distinguished from Muslim women. Though they had faded out as suddenly as they had appeared, the LeJ had spread panic and earned publicity for itself. Since "they" faded so quickly, it's likely the "army" is teeny-tiny and the whole thing is susceptible to firm control by drowning Irfan Jameel in the nearest toilet. |
