NYT discovers the Jihadi Code
2007-06-11
Posted here in full before link goes behind Times pay firewall, with extra shot glasses for those of you playing spot-the-taqiyya drinking game.
We were in a small house in Zarqa, Jordan, trying to interview two heavily bearded Islamic militants about their distribution of recruitment videos when one of us asked one too many questions.

“He’s American?” one of the militants growled. “Let’s kidnap and kill him.”

The room fell silent. But before anyone could act on this impulse, the rules of jihadi etiquette kicked in. You canÂ’t just slaughter a visitor, militants are taught by sympathetic Islamic scholars. You need permission from whoever arranges the meeting. And in this case, the arranger who helped us to meet this pair declined to sign off.

"You fool! He's from the New York Times. He's on our side!"

#3  So it took the Times 6 years to figure out what most of us figured out in two hours. The Koran says they can pretty much do whatever they want. Unless it says they can't. But then you just read on, and eventually it'll say you can again.
They sound fascinating, Pinchy. Why not invite them to the Hamptons for tea and goat sodomy?
