Afghanistan
The Destruction Of Islamic Identity In Afghanistan
2003-11-01
Daily Ausaf (Pakistan Urdu Daily), Translated by JUS
More Islamic indignation over Miss Afghanistan...
Like me, you probably have heard or seen the news about an Afghan female taking part in the Miss World contest in the Philippines’ city of Manila.
Yeah! Hubba hubba!
She had a band across her body which read “Miss Afghanistan” on it, while she displayed her body in front of thousands of spectators. There has been no reaction by the Karzai government on the news, which implies that the government is either criminally negligent or condones this act of cultural terrorism.
Or has more important things to worry about...
Will normal Afghans tolerate this public display of the beauty of a woman in front of men? Can any Islamic country be represented on these kinds of pageants, which are contrary to Islamic laws? The answer to these questions is obviously no.
Don't Muslims have more important things to do with their time? The answer is obviously no. Can't they control that overwhelming urge to tell other people how to live their lives? The answer is obviously no.
So what does the fact that an Afghan women wearing nothing but a skimpy swimsuit and walking in front of thousands of spectators wearing a band stating “Miss Afghanistan” on it tell us?
That she's a good-looking babe?
The answer seems to be only that under the American pressure to “de-Talibanize” the country, Afghanistan is losing its identity as an Islamic nation and it is part of a broader plan to take away the only asset Muslims of these poor countries still have plenty of – and that is honor.
Maybe if they spent less time worry about their "honor" and worked at building businesses instead of mosques they'd be better off?
Why did the Karzai government not take any legal action to stop the display of Afghan pride being displayed in such an abhorrent manner? It speaks volumes about the real goals of the government that was installed by the Americans.
Yup. It's prob'ly a Deep Laid Plot™...
What do the people who called the Taliban “barbarians” and “medieval” say about the degrading of the Afghan culture by the American installed government? If the Taliban were barbaric towards women, as the western media says, what is the presentation of model wearing minimal clothing in front of thousands of spectators called?
It's not called a shot in the head, is it? It's not called public amputation, is it?
Is that not a virtual trading of women as the participation in these events leads to dehumanizing modeling careers for these women and the selling of their bodies in front of cameras for the pleasure of the consumers? Whatever the Taliban did, it was not against the national honor of the Afghans, but this so-called modernization is a direct attack the honor of the Afghans.
Whatever these direct attacks on the honor of the Afghans does, it doesn't result in corpses, except when the beturbanned minions of the Religion of Peace™ bump somebody off for looking or participating...
At the time that the Taliban left the cities to engage in guerilla war, the western media triumphantly showed the images of men shaving their beards and women walking across the cities of Afghanistan wearing skirts. And these were shown as proof that the war was over and the people of Afghanistan were free from the Taliban. In fact, it was Islam that the Afghans were encouraged to be free of.
At least it was Islam as personified by mandatory beards, mandatory burkas, and the occasional crucifixion...
The majority of men still sport beards, and the majority of women still wear Burqa which shows that Afghans will not give up Islam no matter how hard the West tries to force them to.
The diffo being that the ones who don't want to don't have to, under penalty of death...
The Taliban did not force Afghans to be Muslims. It was the work of centuries of Saints such as Jamal uddin Afghani and descendents of Chingiz Khan who worked to make these once savage barbarians into the flag bearers of Islam. From this area, Islam was spread to the far Central Asian Republics, and became a threat to the Russian empire. Did the Russian empire and then the Soviet Empire not try to eliminate Islam from the Afghans? History is testament to who eliminated who. Now the once Super Power is again threatened the small nation of Chechnya, 1 million times smaller in area than its own country. This speaks volumes about the force that a population packs when it decides to reverse the tide of imperialism armed with only the weapon of Islam.
It says a lot for the power of fanaticism and the willingness to slaughter anyone who doesn't agree with you...
Those once undisciplined Afghans and now the meager Chechens are making the biggest nation in terms of area lick its wounds over and over. Here lies a lesson for the Americans and its allies; it is better not to play with the Afghan populace that is intent on keeping Islam at its source of power. The conspiracy to destroy the honor of Afghans is clearly shown by the fact that the participant in the pageant lives in Washington D.C. and has been in America for more than seven years.
Either that, or it shows good sense on her part...
Oddly, she is called Miss Afghanistan, however considering there has never been a pageant for Miss Afghanistan held in Afghanistan, how can she represent the country as Miss Afghanistan?
Well, I dunno. Ausaf is an Urdu rag, published in Pakland. How does it claim to speak for Afghans?
The pictures of her cat walking in front of thousands of spectators also shows her leading the procession of the participants, as to imply that she leads them all in indecency.
Couldn't be that "Afghanistan" takes alphabetical precedence over "Albania."
Up until now, no official from the government has said any thing with respect to this event. Furthermore, it is unlikely to become an issue for the government because the people who get their salaries from Washington are not likely to anger their paymasters by criticizing an event that fits perfectly with the American plan to “free” the Afghan women.

#4  Sounds like this was a fine opportunity for the boys at the Urdu Daily to closely examine that photo of Miss Afghanistan. "I gotta look at this photo, mullah! It's my job. Wowser! Now that's what I call shameless!"

#3  Islam - Religion of Peace.

WHAT A HOOT. It's more like:

Islam - Religion of Pieces...Pieces and a body parts of a woman showing her face in public. Pieces of a baby in a homicide bombing.

Yeah...Islam - The Religion (Body) Pieces
