FM mullahs spread the Taliban's word |
2009-06-03 |
![]() Through their pirate FM transmitters, the Taliban have demanded that local parliamentarians, security forces and other government officials resign from their positions as a mark of protest against the military operations; otherwise they should be prepared for a jihad directed against them. The Taliban radio broadcasters, popularly known as "FM Mullahs", continuously transmit anti-American and anti-government sermons, calling democracy "un-Islamic" and those practicing it "infidels". In their fiery radio speeches, the Taliban preachers have demanded that the non-Muslim minorities of Malakand pay jizya (protection tax) or face jihad. In the same tone, they have issued warnings to local non-governmental organizations, musicians and anybody else involved in "un-Islamic" activities. Those defying their orders are butchered, and daily announcements of the details of their deaths broadcast on FM channels. |
