Lashkar-e-Taiba recruiting ’special people’
2004-06-14
No, this isn’t from The Onion
Of late Hafiz Muhammad Saeed has started expanding the network of jihadis despite government claims that the activities are being curbed. He has recently outreached to the special people. With the help of sign-language specialists, Saeed had preached jihad to deaf and dumb. Majjalla-tul-Dawa [May issue] reported that he recently addressed a group of deaf and dumb and said: ‘Allah has created human beings for only one mission i.e. jihad. You are not less important than others because of your special status. It is also your duty to wage jihad against the forces of evil. Indian army is massacring the innocent Kashmiris. It is also your duty to wage jihad against them and teach them a lesson. You should go to Kashmir and kill the Indians. If you do that your terror will prevail and I would be able to claim that my ‘handicapped’ jihadis are enough to kill the healthy Indians.’

#13  And why are there so many deaf and dumb in the Moslem populace?

#10  PS: They can use the inclusion of the handicapped to "shame and humiliate" the laggers, and if some handicapped jihadi gets blown up, they can blame the West, and nab a photo op.

Due to a recent cynicism meter meltdown, I am obliged to applaud your assessment of this new recruiting strategy, ex-lib.

#9  And Zenster is SO right: the blabbers never go out there and do anything. They're too "important," and IMO, they prefer vicarious "gun sex" to the real thing, which is bad enough.

Thank you, ex-lib, but credit given where credit is due, Darth VAda beat me to it.

#7  If someone makes a run at your position while crazily signing "Allah Akhbar!".... waste him.

#6  This works out mighty handy for the mullasses, don't it? They can use the inclusion of the handicapped to "shame and humiliate" the laggers, and if some handicapped jihadi gets blown up, they can blame the West, and nab a photo op. Still--wouldn't be a bit difficult to coordinate attacks using the deaf/dumb jihadis, or is it just kind of a "point and shoot" thing?

#4  Well, it is easier to strap explosives to your wheelchair than it is to strap them around your chest.

Any word on whether there will be handicap ramps at the local bunkers Mosques?

#2  If one accepts that human beings were created for only one mission, and mullahs are human beings, then why are they not leading by example?

While your question is absolutely spot on, it does not (nor should it be required to) address those mental incompetents who still believe that it is actually possible to lead by intimidation instead of example. I call them "mullahs."

#1  The main quality that is sought is a lack of intellectual rigor on the part of the prospective jihadi. If one accepts that human beings were created for only one mission, and mullahs are human beings, then why are they not leading by example?

Blow up or shut up, bigmouth!
