Allan apparently not happy with jihadists (hat tip to jihad watch)
2005-10-12
For all the years of jihad in Kashmir, the capital of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, Muzaffarabad, was the hub of terrorist activity. It had a number of terrorist training camps, far beyond the reach of Indian security agencies. But they have been badly hit by nature.
According to islamic scholars (sorry for the oxymoron), allan was punisishing the West with Katrina and Rita?!?!?! What's up with this? The only logical conclusion is...
The fury unleashed by the killer quake, at least, has achieved one thing that both Pakistan and Indian administrations failed to do — that is to clamp down on terror camps and in particular, the terror infrastructure.
or, maybe maybe allan is sending a message.
The killer quake has crippled militant training camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and the North-west frontier province of Pakistan.
dang...my "give a sh** meter" is reading zero. Must be broken.
Have you tried our new Acme Apathy Meter™?
As a result of which the Jihad Council, an umbrella organisation of several militant outfits, has also suspended its activities.
Hmmm. Have they given up on allan? Where's the love? Or maybe...just MAYBE...they are getting an unexpected 1st hand look at their collective 72 virgins.
A local Kashmiri newspaper has reported that scores of activists from an Islamic charity linked to a banned Pakistani militant organisation died in the devastating earthquake.
Resisting...urge...to...burst...out...LAUGHING!!
Even, the militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiyaba’s offshoot, the Jamat-ud-Dawa’s spokesman said that the charity’s mosques, hospitals, schools and Islamic seminaries were obliterated.
The downside is that innocents are lying in the same grave with the islamo-cockroaches and turds.
“We have lost many of our members. Several have died, many others are buried under the rubble,” he said.
Dang...There it goes again!?!?! My "give a sh** meter" is reading zero.
The Lashkar-e-Taiyaba runs a hospital and a madrasa near Muzaffarabad, which have borne the brunt of the quake’s fury. Twenty kilometres from Muzaffarabad, the Lashkar-e-Taiyaba had three training camps — Kura, Aksa and Abdullah bin Masood. This was the seat of the Lashkar commander, Zaki ur Rehman.
Sounds like GZ was right at the source of most of the global islamic terrorist support? Sounds like a not too subtle message from allan.
The militant organisation had also set up three new camps in the hills in the north-west of Manshera, called Umar, Abu Bakr and Umar Bin Auf. Each camp had more than 100 militants, many of whom have been badly reportedly affected by the quake that transcended all artificial boundaries while unleashing its own variant of terror.
Pay back is a b**tch, ain't it?
Even Balakot near Muzaffarabad that had the dubious distinction of being the epicentre of cross-border terrorism and was regarded as the nerve-centre of terror by counter-terrorism experts, has also been hit.
"Vengance is mine, sayeth the Lord. Amen.

#6  As the Senate investigates the Soddies, this might be a good time for a litle old fashioned arm-twisting...

#5  Blankets, water, tents, food, manpower assistance (transport, medical, etc) - no cash. Not one dime.

"getting a message to the funding sources"

Lol - so how's your Arabic and Farsi?

La atta kala'am al Aribiya... = "I don't speak Arabic"

Dunno how to say the same for Farsi... What I'd actually want to say to both would buy me a quick trip to the Sink Trap.

#4  The jihads have suffered a setback due to the earthquake, as they have suffered significant casualties and their infrastructure has been seriously damaged.

Like everyone else in this region, they will have to rebuild. To do this will require resources, the main one which will be funding. So the big questions will be:

1. Who will give the money?
2. What order of magnitude will the funding be?
3. How fast will the funding be available?

The answers will determine how fast they get back in business.

Terrorists thrive in these semi-anarchy backward backwater sh*tholes. They spread the money around, buying protection and isolation. The people living there are stuck. They cannot go anywhere. We took Afghanistan away from them, we are working on taking Iraq from them. They get help and a base to an extent in Iran. They seem to be setting up shop in Bangladesh, and all the sh*thole places in Africa. They will fluorish in these locations, especially in tribal, or warlord styles of government.

The way I see it, a good way to stunt the growth of the jihadis is to squeeze their funding. That will require the cooperation of governments, and will also require the use of getting a message to the funding sources that they will clearly understand, if ya know what I mean.

As far as the human tragedy is concerned, we can do what we can for relieving human misery. Providing a long term fix is up to the governments of the region. You cannot take all your wealth and make nukes, or graft, or whatever, and not expect to take hits on neglected infrastructure and lack of building codes and enforcement. Case in point: The MMs of Iran and the devastation in Bam, Iran due to the earthquake there.

#3  I'm having a hard time knowing what to think about this. On the one hand these asshats celebrated Kat-rita hitting us and killing about a thousand of us saying that it was Allan punishing us. On the other hand, lots of people who were just trying to get by in life were also killed.

I dont think I've ever been so conflicted in my life. I am so sorry for all those decent folks killed and at the same time I hope the quake got that f%&&^**&&&^& Zawahiri and f@#$^&**^^# bin loopy too.

You're right Mhw. Their belief system is absolutely inpenetrable to reason and reality.

#1  Maybe they'll say that Allah punished them for not killing enough infidels; not subjugating enough woman; not stamping out enough music and laughter, etc.
