2006-06-18
GHALANAI: Religious and tribal elders of Danishkol in Pandialay tehsil have established a Quami Lashkar (national army) to implement the ban on musical instruments. Around two-dozen tribal elders along with 500 gunmen have been patrolling the area for the last three days and imposing fines on tribesmen found violating the new rules. Sources said the Lashkar had managed to collect thousands of rupees in fines. According to the rules set by the body, any one found owning a VCR or CD player or involved in 'immoral acts' could be fined Rs 0.5 million and expelled from the area. An eyewitness said the local office of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), which has considerable authority in the tribal territory, was also forced to closedown. However, local office bearers of the party were not available for comments.

#4  Set up giant speakers just inside Afghanistan and start blaring rap and heavy-metal 24/7. When the jihadis come to stop the music, pot 'em. Of course, our guys would have to LIVE wearing earplugs, but that's just a small price to pay.

Let the suffering commence.
For Allah(fleas be upon him) wouldn't have it any other way.
