| Imam's throat slit for saying peace prayers | ||||
| 2004-12-27 | ||||
Danwakote (rajouri), December 27: Piqued over the peace prayers at the local Jamia Masjid in non-descript hamlet of Danwakote in Rajouri district, militants last night abducted and slit the throat of the Imam of the mosque, sparking off a huge protest demonstration in the area. Sources said today morning, hundreds of villagers from Danwakote and its adjoining areas came out on the streets to protest the killing of Moulvi Mohammad Bashir, the head priest of the Jamia Masjid mosque. This is for the first time in the area that a religious preacher has been killed by militants.
Khalil Ahmad was in a state of shock. He said from the dress and the chaste Punjabi language that gunmen spoke, it seemed that they were from Pakistan.

| #13 .com Eventually, we will wear them out. They can send the uneducated out to kill us, but they will run out of people. Question is, can we wait that long? Not sure. Of course we can kill thier "fodder". and hope we get enough. Hope so. |

| #9 Prove me wrong by pointing out the vicious hand-to-hand combat waged by, otherwise, peaceful Muslims against the Caliphatists. I'm dying to hear the details. I'll freely admit that this is a major sticking point for myself as well. As I've asked since my arrival here; Why aren't moderate imams flocking to the militant regions and gloriously martyring themselves as they valiantly spread their doctrine of tolerance and coexistence to their Islamist brethern? In fact, sticking point my @ss. It's a downright dealbreaker. Bush and everybody else needs to place the burden of reform directly upon the shoulders of Islam itself. Why should we be forced to go in and mop up their own rampaging fanatics? This will be the gold standard. Either Islam cheerfully does its chores or gets dismantled. No options. |

| #3 [ranty-rant-rant] So was this The Moderate Muslim™ so many have blathered about with wild-eyed unsubstantiated guesses of 60%, 80%, whatever pulled out-of-their-asses because it sounds reasonable to Western minds? Reality's a bitch. The vast majority of Muslims are merely untapped resources... waiting to be called upon for whatever is needed, fodder, support, logistics, etc. when Joe Jihadi has need of them. It won't matter if he's a Wahhabi and they're of some "peaceful" sect - they'll give total cooperation or perish - like a lamb. Prove me wrong by pointing out the vicious hand-to-hand combat waged by, otherwise, peaceful Muslims against the Caliphatists. I'm dying to hear the details. "The 4th Armored Moderate Muslim™ Brigade defeated the Al Fuqoff Brigades of the Lions of Martyrdom Between the Rivers of Holy Blood this morning in what can only be described as a bloody but brilliant maneuver..." Show me the headline. Show me the slightest indication that they aren't cattle to be used by the hard-core. Just one bona-fide example. Love to see it. 99.999% of the Muslim-on-Muslim violence I've seen is either Joe Jihadi whacking cattle (such as the Anti Iraqi election campaign) or Sunni vs Shi'a (My Allah can beat up Your Allah) or Power Games (PakiWakiLand - 'nuff said). I am thoroughly convinced by actual events that my view is correct. I await proof to the contrary. Much has been made of the "You're either with us or against us." statement by Dubya. This is the Muslim version and they've been saying it, just like this, for 1400 yrs. Every Muslim knows it so none need say it for the benefit of other Muslims. But WE need to hear it so WE understand who and what we face. In a nutshell for the particularly and willfully dense, this is why there are no Moderate Muslims™ - merely untapped resources awaiting their Jihadi Master's call. [/ranty-rant-rant] Sad story. |
