#2 This is an important development. Merely causing people to have no fun at all barely works in a country where there isn't much fun to be had in the first place. Whereas, causing people to have no job at all is guaranteed to really piss them off in a big way. Bring on Islam's typical economic trainwreck. It's the sure way of increasing jihad's unpopularity.

#6 They probably weren't the traditional, but not terribly effective, curly toed slippers, tu3031. Just as they went after shops selling Western-style suits and such, when they should have been selling whatever was fashionable at the time of the Moghul conquest, with those silly little hats to match.
