Mannequins removed after threats in Peshawar |
2007-11-29 |
Owners of garment shops in Peshawar have either removed the mannequins used for displaying dresses or covered them with clothes after receiving threatening letters from militants. A meeting of the shopkeepersÂ’ association of Karimpura, held here on Tuesday to discuss the militantsÂ’ threat, decided to remove the mannequins altogether or fully cover them. The meeting was informed that 10 militants visited the Shaheen Bazaar, a market for women, and asked the shopkeepers to remove mannequins which, they said, promoted obscenity. The letter sent by the militants warned them of dire consequences, if they did not carry out the instruction. |

#8 I'm a thinking... Get a bunch of obsolete mannequins and air drop all over Peshawar from way up. So what if they break. The Talibunnies will have to run all over collecting the dirty pieces to destroy. "Accidents" like this on a regular basis could drive them crazy... |

#4 I would use mannequins such as these to create a "honeypot" to attract extremists. I set the shop up in a way I know would offend extremists. When they come around to do me harm, I eliminate them. After some period of time the number of extremists will dwindle. |

#3 Interesting how the militants went into a 'women's market' to find the offensive settings! I wonder if they probed the lady's rooms also? Benazir has a uphill fight ahead of her. |

#1 Given the bizarre nature of these folks, I am surprised that they did not order the Mannequins to be stoned for indecency. |
