Mohmand Agency Talibs say no one can expel them from 'house of God'
2007-08-01
The local Taliban on Tuesday rejected the Mohmand tribe jirgaÂ’s demand to give the Haji Sahib Turangzai mosque back its original name and hand over the shrine of the famous Pashtoon freedom fighter to the previous administration.

The previously unheard of local Taliban renamed the mosque Lal Masjid on Sunday and seized the shrine to make it their “jihadi headquarters” in the region. “The mosque and madrassa is the house of God and nobody can expel us,” Taliban leader Umar Khalid told reporters after an eight-member Saafi tribe jirga tried to negotiate with the Taliban to resolve the issue peacefully.
I'd settle for bricking it up entirely, if that's how Umar wants it.
How about the Haji Sahib Memorial parking lot?
Sure! It's got a nice beat and I can dance to it.
Drop in a mirror ball and you're in business.
However, the talks remained inconclusive on Tuesday and the two sides agreed to resume dialogue on Friday. Jirga member Malik Zarin Saafi said the jirga requested the Taliban to give the mosque back its original name and hand over the shrine to the previous administration. “I am sure the talks will succeed and we will find a peaceful solution,” the tribal elder told Daily Times after the talks.
"Because if we don't we'll kill them all," Saafi added softly.
Earlier, an all-tribes jirga in Ghalanai said they would support the local Saafi tribe if it called for help, but insisted that the Saafi tribe should handle the Taliban takeover of the mosque and shrine itself. “It is a local issue and the tribe should tackle it itself. If it wants our help we are ready,” tribal elders told the jirga organised by the political administration. The jirga decided that the other tribes would intervene only if the Saafi jirga failed to resolve the issue.

Mohmand Agency political agent Dr Kazim Niaz said the issue would be addressed through local customs and traditions.
An eight-century solution, eh? We can only guess.

#11  This kind of attitude + activity(s) will soon manifest itself in WESTPAC and the PACRIM/PACOA's in general, only the peoples of the region don't know it or want to believe it. Unless the USA = Western Democracy wins the WOT, the USA + US Allies will eventually have to deal wid expanding, armed, demanding Radical Islamist = Islamism in the Pacific + the Americas, NOT ONLY VERSUS RUSSIA-CHINA, CHINA, ... OR ONLY IN THE ME, etc. RADICAL MULLAHS > GLOBAL "OIL CATACLYSM" > roughly believe that ISLAMIST ULTRA-CONSERVATIVISM and ULTRA-HISTORICAL/ANTIQUITOUS WARFIGHTING TRADITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER A TECH SUPERIOR BUT STEADILY DYING US-WESTERN MATERIALIST LIBERTARIAN AMORAL DEMOCRATIC CIVILIZATION + WESTERN JUDEOXTIANITY.*FYI, the above is exclusive of any failure by the Sun or Universe to surrender to Hated Despicable Fascist = Well-Meaning but Errorprone Limited Communist/Commie Dubya + the Nuremburg Enviro Crimes Trial Court.

#10  I'm with Big Jim - drop some cyanide gas on their "holeyer than thou" butts, then clean up afterwards. If it's one group of turbans against another group of turbans, how can they blame the US? Heck, we'll even ship 'em the stuff - through Lithuania or Tajikistan or some such, so it's impossible to trace its origin.

I have a feelin' that "resuming dialogue" doesn't mean what they think it means. Who's got the pool on firefights breaking out on Friday night "after dialogues break down," of course?

#5  Poisoned gas would get them out, and not harm the mosque. Think of it as "fumigating", like for roaches.

#4  Mohmand Agency Talibs say no one can expel them from 'house of God'

Who cares about expelling them? Just so long as we collapse their 'House of God' upon them, I'm happy. Killing these maggots in situ is the most important facet of fighting terrorism. Farmers DO NOT set rat traps out in the wheat fields. You kill these vermin in their nests. Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are the hives of this putrescent psychotic squalor and they all need to be pacified or paved over. Their choice, no options.
