Pakistan: Taliban orders lawyers to renounce the courtroom and its "infidel judicial system"

And the terrified lawyers agree with great alacrity. The Taliban's clear hegemony in the Swat Valley -- what was once known as Pakistan's "Switzerland" -- is demonstrative of the fact that, either the Pakistani government is turning a blind eye to the situation (for whatever reason), or it is simply impotent. Either way, this is why the U.S. military should continue taking the initiative vis-a-vis terrorist strongholds in Pakistan -- regardless of the Pakistani government's threats and complaints.

ISLAMABAD: Having cracked the whip to bar girls from schooling, serving summons to politicians and lawmakers, Taliban now in control of Pakistan's restive northwestern region of Swat valley have issued an ultimatum to the lawyers.

In a new dictum, Taliban have told lawyers in what was once Pakistan's Switzerland, to stay away from the courts or face the gun.

Branding the present Pakistani jurisprudence as "infidel judicial system", the Taliban have told the lawyers to stay away from the courts or they will be killed, according to local officials.

Vowing to enforce their version of Islamic Shariah law, the Taliban's diktat caused such a panic among the lawyers in the region that they are making contacts with militant commanders saying they were ready to implement their instructions.

The threat was announced over Taliban's clandestinely-run FM radio channel.

Why clandestine? From the sound of things, the Swat Valley seems to be firmly in the Taliban's hands.

11 ex-Gitmo prisoners flee the Saudi "rehabilitation program" and join up with terrorist groups

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Eleven Saudis released from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are on a list of 85 wanted terrorism suspects made public by the Saudi Interior Ministry, officials said.

Saudi officials said the 11 former Guantanamo Bay detainees underwent a Saudi rehabilitation program for former jihadists and are thought to have fled the country, joining terrorist groups elsewhere, The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) reported Wednesday.[...]

Unclear was whether any of the 11 former Guantanamo Bay detainees participated in terrorist attacks, the Times said.

Well, if they are joining "terrorist groups elsewhere," it sure seems that, either way, they are now actively planning terrorist attacks.

U.S. counterterrorism officials have confirmed that Said Ali al-Shihri, a Saudi released from Guantanamo in November 2007, was the deputy leader of the Yemeni branch of al-Qaida and suspected of being involved in a deadly attack on the U.S. Embassy in Yemen last year.

And the HNIC decided to close GITMO? We all know that Obama is a muslim and is going to destroy this country from within. It is going to take a nuke from these nuts to wake up this country. When that happens our country is going to collapse financially and the socialist will show his true color.

Jihadists using male rape to turn men into suicide bombers

Just as jihadists rape women in order to turn them into suicide bombers, they're raping men also. "Al-Qaeda accused of using male rape to 'create' suicide bombers," from PinkNews, February 4 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):

Islamic terrorists are raping young men in order to drive them into suicide bombings.

The Sun quotes Algerian militant Abu Baçir El Assimi:

"The sexual act on young recruits aged between 16 to 19 was a means to urge them to commit suicide operations."

The paper claims that "intense social stigma and fear of more gay sex attacks leaves Muslims prepared to die."

Rape and homosexual acts are punishable by death under Sharia law....

I have a question about this whole story. It says that "islamic terrorists" are raping young men to stigmatize them for having gay sex. Since the "islaminc terrorists" are the ones doing the raping, are they not stigmatized as well? And, if not, why not? Old Mo says that homos should be killed.
