PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Bus drivers in northwest Pakistan have begun removing audio and video equipment from their vehicles after Taliban militants threatened suicide attacks against those who played music or movies for their passengers, an industry official said Tuesday. Transport workers in Mardan town received letters this week from militants saying that buses offering such entertainment were guilty of spreading "vulgarity and obscenity," Walid Mir, general secretary of the town's transport union, told The Associated Press.
The militants said they would check the buses and that suicide attacks would be carried out against vehicles that still had audio and video equipment — prompting union members to act quickly, Mir said.
The Taliban letter complained that traveling in buses that provide audiovisual entertainment was a "source of mental agony for pious people," according to a text obtained by AP.
"It is obligatory on us to stop such violations. We request you to remove the vulgar systems ... otherwise suicide bombers are ready," the letter said....

They can kill civilians w.o recoursing to suicide attacks, imo. But the number of jehadis eager to go to the islamic heaven by dieing in a conflict is perhaves beyond our wildest imaginations.

Meanwhile stupid-cowards who call themselves hindu activists go on attacking women in a pub in mangalore. If they can't do any good and useful for anybody, someone pls lock them up.

Terror closer home. And they are recruiting from non-muslims as well. I wonder what is the lure? But glory for asurvad is million times more than the weakness of durvalvad, current hinduism.


THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Intelligence agencies have begun a probe into the

mysterious disappearance of a student of a Mangalore nursing college
and her arrival
at an Islamic seminary in Kerala's Kozhikode.

The incident assumes significance following reports that Pakistan's ISI has been giving training to women for jihad. Intelligence sleuths say four people, including two from Kerala, have been involved in the recruitment of women cadre for jihad, especially after 26/11.

With Mangalore's links with terror modules coming out in the open, intelligence agencies suspect there may be a racket operating in the region to woo women. SIMI is believed to have established a women's wing in Kerala.

The nursing student, in her early 20s, went missing from the college about 45 days ago. Later, she informed her parents in Kerala she was going to study Islam in a Kozhikode seminary, family sources said. The parents, with the help of police, contacted the seminary in Kozhikode. They met their daughter in the seminary and asked her to return home, but she said she would come home on January 14 after finishing studies. But when the parents again went there on January 12 to bring her back, they were told that she had left the place about a week back.

The same seminary was in the news as it was here that Varghese Joseph alias Mohd Yasin one of the four terrorists from Kerala killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir in October 2008 was converted from Christianity into Islam. At least 40 people 32 Hindus and eight Christians were converted here in December 2008 alone, intelligence sources said.

Family sources said the student contacted her mother over the phone on Sunday, but there was no information about her whereabouts. Police, however, said the student was in love with a Muslim man and wanted to marry him.

There is no lack of martyrs it seems, there is only a lack of bombs. The more misery people experience in the real world the more they will be willing to enter an imaginend other world where they hope to be rewarded for their martyrdom.

One can find an interesting documentary, a criticism of islam, on google video.

Those interested should watch it now, as long as it is not considered worldwide to be an illegal act of defamation of religions, to be critical of Islam or the Quran. It has some focus on the western society and USA but is nonetheless of general interest.

It is very sad to hear that people can be that deranged to associate acts of violence against woman with Hinduism.
