5 coppers iced in Karachi
2004-04-04
At least 10 lunatics gunmen stormed into a police station in the southern Pakistan city of Karachi early today, killing at least five policemen and wounding one after demanding the officers recite Islamic verses, police said. One of the attackers died in the shoot-out near the airport in the city, Pakistan's largest and the home of thousands of psychoceramics scene of frequent religious violence. The rest of the assailants escaped by car, said Syad Kamal Shah, police chief in southern Sindh province. "Police are looking for who is responsible and what were the motives." Policeman Hasan Jatoi, who was wounded in the gunfight, told Reuters the clean-shaven men shot several of the officers in the head at close range.

#1  Nothing to get excited about. This was merely a spot-check of Islamic purity. Remember the old commercial where some snob would pull out a white glove and run it over the coffee table to see if you had dusted in the last 20-30 minutes?

Same thing, Islamic-style. It's really quite simple, I mean what sort of country can you possibly have if your police aren't pure?

These Purity Inspectors were merely applying Sura 32:11 and bringing these lost souls back to Allah -
"The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your souls: then shall ye be brought back to your Lord."

It doesn't pay to have a dusty soul in Karachi. I recommend New and Improved Little Mo's Magic EndDust - it's lemon scented, y'know! Buy some today!
