Boutiques forced to remove mannequins in Peshawar
2007-04-15
Peshawar police have asked shopkeepers to remove mannequins from boutiques on University Road. University Road Tajjir Ittehad president Amjad Ali Qadri told Daily Times, “The SSP operations asked us to remove these mannequins as he claimed the chief minister said they were vulgar and obscene. We demanded the orders in written form and thus far have received no such missive. The University Town SHO then asked us to turn the faces of the mannequins inward. We complied because it doesn’t affect the advertisement of clothing worn by them.” Qadri said, “We discussed the matter with the chief of capital city police but he told us that he had no knowledge of the matter.” He said mannequins were all over the city and the government had no right to remove them from shops on only one road. The government should compensate the shopkeepers for the mannequins’ removal, he added. Aftab Butt of Butt Saris said, “The mannequins have nothing to do with obscenity and are placed to attract customers. We have been asked to remove them in the past as well. People shouldn’t make problems where there are none, there are many other wrongs in society which need government attention more than mere mannequins.” According to Aftab there are over 80-90 boutiques on University Road with 700-800 employees. “We are competing with Lahore and Karachi and this kind of behaviour is senseless.” City police chief Abdul Majeed Marwat denied any such order.

#4  Mannequins: Item # 1,347 on the list of things that offend Muslim sensitivities.

Old Patriot, whenever you leave out the nuclear first use stuff, everything you post makes absolute sense.

Were every single imam on earth killed this instant, does anyone think that more than 0.01% would have been unfairly executed? This is a serious question. Moderate Muslims aside, the clerical class of Islam is a prime mover in terrorism. Yes, money is important, but with high context cultures as in the entire MME (Muslim Middle East), oratory skill, connections and social status are critical components of political power.

The West is absolutely insane not to begin a campaign of assassinating Islam's clerical elite. They alone are responsible for programming the killers.

#2  Find who's issuing orders in the police Chief's name, get rid of that person.

The better deal would be to break up about 40 of the "tribes" in Pakistan. Kill their leaders, break the kneecaps of all 18-45 year old men, and kill all the mosque preachers. Unfortunately, our government isn't mean enough to do what's necessary to put a stop to the entire islam nonsense once and for all. The day will come, however, when that's the last choice available to us. It's that or surrender, and I'll die first.
