#5 I saw this crap over there in 1989. When a young boy came into camp the men would surround him. Sick.

#6 Rantburgers were able to read the following article during much of yesterday. Then the article disappeared during the final part of the day.
===============

The Taliban leadership has issued its own version of the Constitution of Afghanistan and also a Code of Conduct for its Field Commanders and fighters. .... The Constitution, written in Pashtu and Dari, the two dominant languages in Afghanistan, proclaims Afghanistan as "a free, independent, united and inseparable country whose official name is the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan."The document circulated among Taliban cadres has the emblem of the 'Emirate of Afghanistan' which they had under the previous Taliban Government (1996-2001). ....

The Taliban Constitution says that the "Islamic Emirate's supreme leader will be called 'Amirul Momneen' and has to be a 'knowledgeable' Afghan national. It says that all laws of the country will have to be brought in conformity with the "Islamic Shariah." ....

The 66-page document declares that the basic law will be implemented after the Taliban wrests control of Afghanistan from the US-backed Afghan Government and throws out the foreign Kafirs (infidels). The underground Taliban leaders propose to distribute copies of the Constitution among the Islamic countries and organizations and other foreign elements to apprise them as to how the resurgent Taliban wanted to administer the affairs of the country after returning to power.

The Taliban leadership ... has issued a strict Code of Conduct for their field commanders and the rank and file. The 30-point code, which is in the shape of a handbook, has been circulated among the guerrillas, and asks them to invite all Afghans to join the fight against American-led forces and the corrupt Kabul Government.

Giving top priority to recruitment, Rule 1 says that all 'Taliban commanders will recruit a large number of Afghans, converting them to the true Islam.'

Rule 5 says that all new recruits will be protected and any Taliban who kills a new recruit will forfeit his own protection and 'will be punished according to the Islamic law.'

Rule 7 enjoins, "foreign kafirs taken prisoners must not be exchanged for other prisoners or for money."

Highlighting the alleged corruption under the Karzai Government, Rule 9 prohibits the Taliban from "the use of Jihad equipment or property for personal ends."

Rule 10 holds each member of the Taliban, 'accountable to his superiors in matters of money spending and equipment usage."

Rule 24 authorizes the field commanders and group leaders to punish the teachers imparting education which does not conforms to the Islamic norms. It "forbids a teacher from working under the 'puppet Karzai regime' because it strengthens the system of the Kafirs."

Rule 25 further directs, "if a teacher ignores a warning to give up his job, he must be beaten up' and if he still persists to instruct contrary to the principles of Islam, the District Commander or the Group Leader must kill him."

It also directs the cadres to remove all religious texts from the school building before putting it to fire. More than 500 schools have so far been burnt by the Taliban in the southern provinces of Afghanistan.

Apart from prohibiting cigarette smoking, it also prohibits allowing murderers from joining the cadres. To stem the sexual abuse of children, especially in some of the madrassas that feed the recruitment needs of Taliban, one of the rules says, "Taliban are not allowed to take young boys with no facial hair on to the battlefield or into their private quarters." ....

Rule 30 says that "only the highest levels of the Taliban can approve the work for the NGOs."

The code is said to have been approved by the Taliban Shura (Council) at a secret meeting in October, somewhere in Pakistan's Balochistan province from where most of their leaders are operating. Their Supreme Leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, is reported to have approved the code before its issue. ....

#7 Snomp Shotch9850, I recall that particular article was first posted several days ago. If it didn't get any comments yesterday, no doubt Fred or one of the moderators removed it to save a bit of bandwidth. The moderators do their thing as their schedules and the local time zones allow, it seems, whereas articles in the hopper after something like 9 pm Eastern Time magically appear when the clock turns over. On the other hand, articles posted late in the day, or deemed of particular interest, are sometimes rolled over to the next day. I've no idea what the exact criteria are, and since this is Fred's own site, quite probably they are variable. (And there's no point in arguing with him, as he keeps queer hours.)

#8 Why is this article posted today if we are saving bandwidth?

#9 Because Fred wanted to. He's paying for this site out of his own pocket, no doubt giving up dates with Mrs. Pruitt to pay for it. There's a Paypal button at the top righthand corner of the page that you can hit to help him out, should you feel so moved.

#11 I apologize, Thineth Grusing1600, you didn't deserve a snippy answer. I've no idea why, as I'm neither Fred nor a moderator. If you go here, Fred and the moderators explain the latest version of the basic rules of what to post and how to tighten up articles. It's linked at the top of the article posting page, too, labelled Before you post, read this! in great big letters.

#15 The Taliban rulebook's been posted at least a half dozen times, by my recollection, which is why several duplicate posts have been deleted or stopped in the holding tank.

I didn't see any of them drawing attention to Rule 19, which is why this one was kept.

#17 It's SIGNIFICANT that they have to issue a rule to combat the sexual abuse of boys. And it's probably not because they care about the boys. They're just worried that it's so widespread the MSM and liberal supporters will find out, and THEN WHAT? This is to protect themselves, and they've issued nothing that says it's immoral, and BTW, what is the punishment for forcing boys to be personal sex slaves of these sleazy, greazy ick-men? The "30 rules" are merely suggestions for show.

And we wonder why there are so many angry young Arab men.

#18 I removed it yesterday because it was a duplicate.

I would have removed it today had I found it before it had 17 comments.

I generally remove duplicates without further notice (since the notice itself would generate a place-holder post). If you post an article that then gets removed, it's very likely that it was a duplicate. It happens to me sometimes; with 100 articles a day it's easy to miss something and post a duplicate.

So that's what happened. Sorry. AoS.
