In cold blood: Taliban gun down couple for “adultery” in Pakistan

Coming soon to Islamabad, a shining example of the glories of shari’a. This is the second cell-phone video of Taliban brutality this month to “shock” Pakistan; the uproar over the first was sufficient to merit a story in the NYT. How is it, I wonder, that people who share a country with these degenerates are more surprised by their behavior than I am? This is who they are, and this is what they do. It’s one thing for Americans to have been sleepwalking about jihadism before 9/11 considering that it was almost entirely an overseas phenomenon, but what’s Pakistan’s excuse?
Too late now, in any case.
Islamabad’s defences are being hurriedly fortified, with paramilitary troops stationed on the Margalla Hills, which overlook the city from the West. In the capital, there are thousands of followers of the radical Red Mosque, where there are now open calls for Islamic revolution at the weekly Friday prayers.
“The Taliban will not stop at Swat. They will come towards Islamabad,” said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a military analyst based in Lahore. “If the army is to take action against them, it is going to be a really bloody battle. And then civil government will be knocked out.”
“Extremist groups based in Islamabad will move from within and they (Taliban) will build pressure from outside.”
According to the Telegraph, the Taliban actually invited a local reporter to record this as a warning to anyone who might see it of what’s coming. The Pakistani military liquidated 30 of them today, to serve notice that taking Islamabad won’t be easy, but there have been what seems like 100 of these halting operations over the last few years all following the same pattern: Tough talk from the government, incursion into the tribal areas, fighting ending in a stalemate, and finally “peace treaty” and withdrawal. I wonder how much territory they’ll get when the treaty ending this latest op is signed. Content warning.

We support operations in Afghanistan and Pahkeestahn more than any of you traitors do. You asswipes are trying to get Americans killed – that is while you’re not busy going after our clandestine services in an effort to weaken the US. It is YOUR Precedent (he doesn’t represent me) who wants to deal with the Taliban. The taliban are YOUR allies. Go cry to Shrillary the moron or your traitor Precedent.
We support fighting in defense of America. You scumbags are fighting to destroy America. How many American military are going to be part of another liberal witch hunt after they quell the Taliban? You people are despicable, lying scum.

Bush pushed the Talis into Pak 6 years ago, dolt.

That well-intentioned evangelical bumbler is going down in the history as our first clown president…..the torture president that instead of “enabling” democracy enabled the Taliban to start WWIII with India.

Still waiting to see how consent to drone strikes can be implied by foreign aid, yet the country publicly objects to the strikes, and says there was no consent.
Wethal on April 26, 2009 at 7:11 PM
What was your reporting date to BCT again? You are just a blow hard, getalife. All Hat and no Cattle when it comes to supporting your President. Utterly disgraceful.
BTW, can’t you even get some new material instead of just recycling the same old sucky-sucky stuff?
MB4 on April 26, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Nah, it’s still not a capital punishment crime in the U.S. to have ACORN tamper with an election, or to lie about your place of birth either.
Fletch54 on April 26, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Do you ever say anything constructive? Or do you just throw bombs?
All of the crap you people accused the right of never materialized. You were never wiretapped, your rights were never taken away. You were never treated any differently than your “enemies” on the right. You people claimed it was us who wanted to destroy freedom.
And yet it’s your people who are singling out Christians, the military and anyone else who speaks out against Socialism as “potential terrorists”. You need to get your head out of your ass and see the truth – your Democrat party is taking us into Hell, and destroying all that is good about the United States.
When Obamas’ brownshirts come for you you’ll remember all the BS you regurgitated. And you won’t like it anymore.

Wethal on April 26, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Whose idea was it for Pakistan to become independent of India, anyway?
Do yourself a favor and google Mohammed Ali Jinnah.
I think we should let the Indians take it back over
Obviously, you dont know India – you see, we are still in the process of verifying whether the lone surviving terrorist of the Mumbai attacks ( remember that ?) can be tried as an adult – there are concerns that he is under 18 and there fore might need juve courts.
I am not making this up.
We are still trying to “figure out” how to try Kasab ! and we are supposed to be “taking over” Pakistan.?
dont hold your breath.

Wethal on April 26, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Our country (under Obama) wants to apply USA law and USA constitutional rights to terrorists who are captured in other countries.
Therefore, I assume Obama wants our soldiers to be judged under sharia law when they are captured and taken to Islamic countries, no?
If we extend rights under the US constitution to THEM, it’s only fair that they subject US citizens to THEIR laws. Or hasn’t the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers thought of that yet?
Daggett on April 26, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Considering that the Taliban was created by the Pakistani ISI, all I can say is that those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind.
Kafir on April 26, 2009 at 7:15 PM
And so…? What is your point? Obama is better, slightly better, or the same as Bush? What does this say about Obama if Bush was in fact the infimum of bad leaders?
Upstater85 on April 26, 2009 at 7:17 PM
So you think that these people who aided Al Qaeda and who incidentally were doing these identical acts in Afghanistan should have been left alone?
Don’t bother answering that — the answer is obviously “yes”. So that means you are against Obama’s campaign promise to deal with both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Your position is like that of Wile E. Coyote after going off the cliff, but before gravity takes over.

I wouldn’t be so sure about all that. Based on my observations of getalife’s continued mental decline I am very suspicious that Dick Cheney may have had her subjected to a little too much electroshock treatment.
MB4 on April 26, 2009 at 7:17 PM
From today’s NYTimes. Imagine that. A progressive state like NY still has adultery in the criminal code. And Bill Clinton lives there now. But he has to worry more about flying lamps.

So what happens when you default on your sharia mortgage in Minnesota or reject a Sharia family court decision in Britain?
Yeah, you got camel nose hairs and snot showing up all over the place. And they will only be removed if you are willing to remove the Muslims. But that would make them sad, and when they are sad they often go mad.
BL@KBIRD on April 26, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Well that is true for us too, infidel…..we propped up a minlitary dictator, forced him to step down, and than backed the supercorrupt Bhutto family mafia in an election we demanded. We fly drones and bomb their villages, and tell them what to do.
The young male Pak population is rushing into the Taliban’s arms cuz they don’t want to look as emasculated as the “legitimate” Pak government, the lapdog of the americans.
Its an honor thing you know.

“That well-intentioned evangelical bumbler is going down in the history as our first clown president…..the torture president that instead of “enabling” democracy enabled the Taliban to start WWIII with India.”
Hey Strangelet – do yourself a favor and dont make yourself a jackass – you have no idea of the complexities in the AfPak corridor or how the US has been an ally of Pakistan since its creation.
The Pakis created Taliban in the 90’s with the open knowledge of the US – when your Bubba was President and “secular”, “liberal” Benazir Bhutto was the PM of Pakistan. They created the Taliban to take over Afghanistan and increase their geo-strategic advantages. and of course to fight India as well.
When Bush took over in 2001, he “inherited” a US foreign policy that favored Pakistan over India over the last 5 decades and did everything in his power to change that direction. His appointment of Robert Blackwill to be US Ambassador to India and his push to have the Indo-US nuclear civilian deal are visionary – things that no other US President had the balls to do.
I am no fan of Bush but i can attest as an Indian that he has been the best US President in terms of trying to get Indo-American relations on the right track. I can think of only two countries where he is not hated – Israel and India.
The US is in a soup today, not because of Bush but because of
A. A foreign policy that was formed in the Cold war era – something that Bush understood and tried his best to correct.
B. The Paki military jihadi complex has been around for the last 25 years for people who know about these things.
C. Paki military would never allow for a stable Afghanistan – both these countries have had a dispute over who should actually have the North western portions of Pakistan since 1947 – Afghanistan was the only country that objected to Pakistan’s entry to the U.N.
But no, you wouldnt know that, would you ? Just another Bush hater who has no idea of what you are talking about.
Is it any wonder that Obama is President today ? There are millions of morons like “strangelets” who have no effing idea whatsoever of the history or complexities of AfPak.
nagee76 on April 26, 2009 at 7:29 PM
And now Obama has to clean up all GW’s stupid cf’s…..Iraq, Afghanistan, Pak, the econopalypse, torture, the supression of science and research…..
Bush was a disaster….
He is going down in the history books as the most terrible president ever.
strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 7:31 PM
But what about the Geneva convention?

(Pssst…yes, I know the GC is for war captives, but her and her Lefty friends’ insistence on humanizing the Taliban or those that back them is beyond absurd)

Did you agree or disagree with Clinton bombing the Serbs, or whether we should have intervened in the Rwandan genocide?
Bishop on April 26, 2009 at 7:32 PM
“(btw, thought you banned yourself from here)”
Heh. getalife’s “promises” are no better than the “peace” agreements between the Taliban and the Pakis.
Neither of them are believable.

Ahhh… so Obama has to clean up after GWB
GWB had to clean up after Clinton…
Clinton had to …

exactly….biased.
I’m not old enough to know any of that.
I know what i see.
Bush pushed the Taliban into Pak.
Bush propped Musharaf.
Bush promoted Bhutto….are you saying the Bhutto family wasn’t corrupt?
Lets go all the way back though….to the Brit colonial imperialists that carved up MENA after WWII. That is where it started, not the cold war.
Thing is….we can’t afford to be the world police anymore.
We are broke…..haven’t you heard the commentariat here whining about their children’s pocketbooks?
haha
The Bush Doctrine is going down as the most clueless moronic EPIC FAIL ever pushed by an american president.

NATO should have bombed the Serbs and the UN should have intervened in Rwanda like their soldier-on-the-spot, Romeo D’Allaire begged them to.
It is the UN’s JOB DESCRIPTION to prevent genocide.
strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 7:43 PM

Bishop on April 26, 2009 at 7:44 PM
This is world policing.
Perhaps it’s the “definition of the US” to police… /sarc…
Even if we accept that the UN has the right to police the world, why does NATO (with US money and arms) have the right to bomb the Serbs?
Upstater85 on April 26, 2009 at 7:45 PM
I could be wrong but she is always singing the praises and seems to have the same prejudices. Was stupid enough to click on several of her links. She seems agenda driven.
Cindy Munford on April 26, 2009 at 7:45 PM
So you agree that Obama is essentially expanding the Bush Doctrine (as he hasn’t withdrawn yet)?
Upstater85 on April 26, 2009 at 7:46 PM
duh….because the Serbs were in Europe and NATO is in Europe?
It is not the UN’s charter to police the world…..it is the UN’s charter to prevent genocide, after the Holocaust that is WHY the UN was formed.
strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 7:48 PM
That’ll learn ‘em. just wait till they take over and go for their apologists like Rosie O and S Penn.

NATO should have bombed the Serbs and the UN should have intervened in Rwanda like their soldier-on-the-spot, Romeo D’Allaire begged them to.
It is the UN’s JOB DESCRIPTION to prevent genocide.
strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 7:43 PM
You’re partially correct about the UN, though its charter doesn’t include preventing genocide, only acting to stop it once it starts; there is no way to keep it from actually starting.
As for NATO, they are no more the world’s policeman than the United States is, so you fell off your stool with that one too. Why should NATO be expected to act that part?
Bishop on April 26, 2009 at 7:50 PM
So you agree that Obama is essentially expanding the Bush Doctrine (as he hasn’t withdrawn yet)?

Cute, another government educated, leftist indoctrinated, 20-nothing hipster lecturing the world from his “5 minutes of wiki searching” position of authority.

ClassicCon on April 26, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Because our NATO allies are EUROPEAN and the Serbs were in their backyard…that is what a TREATY is.
strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 7:54 PM
First, the UN stems from the LoN which was formed BEFORE the Holocaust. Preventing genocide is essentially policing the world. The UN should then invade Iraq and Sudan. Further, they should send troops to Pakistan, Afghanistan and any other country that treats there inhabitants the way they do. This is policing (for good or bad)
If NATO can bomb the Serbs because they are in Europe, duh…, it seems it should follow that NATO should bomb anything that threatens Europe (including Iran)… Again, we get back to policing.
Upstater85 on April 26, 2009 at 7:54 PM
How is it’s Bush’s fault the Taliban are in Pakistan when the Taliban’s rise came to be with the support of the Pakistani government and intelligence service in the 90s..?
Pakistan was the only government to formally recognize Mullah Omar et al. The Taliban is at home in Pakistan because it’s fundementalist roots are grounded there…
theblacksheepwasright on April 26, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Yes its truly GEORGE BUSH’S FAULT that Pakistan is fighting Islamic terrorists who they gave funding and cover to decades before he was ever elected…….
Speedwagon82 on April 26, 2009 at 7:54 PM
This is a load of steamy sh*t. Cons could argue that Bush was listening to his generals. Unless you have some special “powers,” I don’t see how you could possibly know why Obama is still in Iraq…
Upstater85 on April 26, 2009 at 7:55 PM
I hear you brother!
I and my brother al strangelet are urging all Zionist and Christian forces who are working against the Islamic Holy Forces of Allah to submit immediately. Otherwise, we will hold them responsible for their actions. Any attempt to fight the Islamic Holy forces of Allah is pointless. We are committed to putting all of the world under our urisdiction.
You cannot commit blasphemy and act against the Islamic Holy Forces of Allah. Any individual or group that tries to fight the Islamic Holy Forces of Allah will be destroyed. The Islamic Holy Forces of Allah will overcome all the Zionist and Christian infidels and their Hotair stooges. Allah willing.
The great dream of Islam will come true. Muslims dream to see flags that read: “There is no god but Allah” fluttering in the wind over Islamabad, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Parliament Hill in Ottawa and over Hotair, Allah willing.
Brother al stranelet is all set to strap on a suicide belt and blow up any infidels he finds in Pakistan. I of course will supervise…
Aleph on April 26, 2009 at 7:57 PM
And I was correct in stating that those are getabrain’s allies. The fact is that getabrain would be happier bringing charges against our own spies than in stopping the taliban from doing anything.

Two of the most ignorant responses I have ever seen.
NATO is a defense-treaty organization, its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. Were the Serbs attacking a member of NATO which would then create the conditions necessary to activate the treaty conditions? No.
Bishop on April 26, 2009 at 7:59 PM

People like strangelet are the ones who subscribe to unhealthy hero worship, not the neo-cons he hates. People like him think the US President has the power to make every single crappy nation perfect and when they don’t, its that President’s fault, not the crappy nation specified. Pakistan is a country that never should have been created and I’m pretty sure even they wish they were still part of a successful democracy like India.

Pakistan ain’t nothing compared to Northeastern Africa: Kenya is about to fall to the Muslim extremists
Kenya is falling apart too. Beset by Muslim extremists backed by Al Shabab in Somalia and Sudanese and Ethiopan Muslim groups, with arms and funding.
PM Raila Odinga is making a power play to take over complete control of the Kenyan government and push out democratic forces. Odinga, has the support of the Mungiki, a savage murderous Muslim extremist group that in recent weeks has hacked to death hundreds of political opponents in villages in Northern Kenya.
You think Pakistan is a problem? Wait to see what happens when formerly democratic Kenya falls to the Muslim onslaught. And it coule be a matter of weeks.

strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 8:13 PM
Thornasaur, that is precisely why you are not hearing anything about the massive violence going on in Kenya.
The MSM refuses to touch the story, cause to do so, will remind the American public of Obama’s close ties to Odinga, even campaigning for him and raising money for him in 2006.
Odinga is the one leading the revolt to take full control of the government, with the help of Muslim extremists. And with Somali Al-Shabab weapons and funds.
ericdondero on April 26, 2009 at 8:14 PM
What kinds of mental contortions does it take to come up with such conclusions?
US topples the Taliban in Afghanistan. Success for Afghanistan. The Taliban retreats and rallies in Pakistan’s lawless provinces. US wants to follow and take out pockets of Taliban that have done that. Left (strangleits and others like it) howl in derision and cry foul since that would be invading and ally and another sovreign nation. Bush starts back-door negotiations with Mushariff’s government, we get to do clandestine ops, Pakistan mildly objects when buildings go boom, everybody’s happy. So, leftist leaks that this is an agreement, NYT publishes and operation is blown.
Left is continually screaming about how oppressive Mushariff is and how can we be allied. Pakistan needs democratic elections NOW! Rice and State department (more lefties and Clinton holdovers) push same. Pakistan gets elections, assassinations, and violence and is now endangered by Taliban up in other provinces because they wouldn’t help purge the problem to begin with.
Left howls and screams about “nation building” in Afghanistan and how we are being oppressive. ROE’s are tightened further making the military’s job more difficult. Our “allies” like France and Germany provide “support” like intel flights from which they will not release any intel that could lead to a lethal strike. Left is pleased with our more moderate and rational allies. Lo and behold, Taliban starts making a resurgence.
Yet somehow this is all Bush’s fault.
Strangleit and the other Orcs like him are just so pathetically moronic and stupid they don’t even rise to the level of being trolls — they just aren’t that smart.

I say,move the women and children from all mountainous areas
between Puck-is-stan,and Afghanistan,use all old stock war
heads,and vapourize anything that moves,then bring in Awacs,
and C-130 Spectres,and move inwards towards Islamabad,
before it really gets bad,and out of control!!!
Oh wait,Hopey is in charge,make that a real nasty letter
from the UN,after he gets consensus from everybody,and
have it delivered to the ‘Moderate Wing’of the Taliban!!

And the MOST important question is of course, do they agree with Miss California that marriage should be between a man and a woman, or should gays be allowed to marry? It’s crucial because we don’t want anyone’s civil rights to be violated or anything.

Interesting that you bring that up…bin Laden himself said that his original intent was to carry out what later became the 9/11 attacks on Bill Clinton’s watch, and one of the main reasons he wanted to do so ws because of his hatred of Clinton’s adultery.
Unfortunately, Mohammed Atta told him they couldn’t do it quite that quickly, as they needed much more time to train-added time that obviously worked, as they successfully hit 3 out of 4 of their targets, and completely destroyed 2 of them.

okfine…lol, im sowwwwy…..SOME of the Allies are in Europe. Membah how NATO was formed after all….to counter Sov influence in Europe.
strangelet on April 26, 2009 at 8:09 PM
You don’t even have that right: “To counter Sov influence in Europe”? What? How many times does it need to be said, NATO is a defense-treaty organization; the only influence it ever worried about was how many Warsaw Pact armored divisions were going to rumble through the Fulda Gap.
Gaia….I feel stupider just talking to you sometimes.

GREAT post. Most of these libtards have absolutley no understanding of US history much less world history.

You all, I’m pleading with HotAir-ers to do some research on the situation in Kenya. YOU WILL NOT GET THE STORY FROM THE AMERICAN MSM.
You MUST! go to the African and Kenyan news sites and blogs to fully understand what’s going on there.
You think this video is bad? Imagine 25 Villagers hacked to death with machete’s in the middle of the night by madmen Mungiki Muslim extremists. Happened just three days ago.
PLEASE! look into this story. You can start at LR blog. But also visit Africa News, Kenya-Somlia blog, and other African sites.
Pakistan and Kenya are two of the biggest foreign policy challenges Obama faces right now. Both countries could go entirely radical Muslim within a matter of weeks.

PS Ed, AllahPundit, PLEASE! if you’re listening in, how about some coverage of Kenya civil war.
ericdondero on April 26, 2009 at 8:18 PM
That is not what I saw when I looked under your burka. Not much there but it wasn’t grrl parts.
Oh! I get it now. You don’t want to be outed just yet. You had me fooled the way you were acting. Alright every one, listen up! al strangelet? I don’t even know him. Never even heard of him. Never saw him at the Mosque. Never!

Yup, the
CluelessBush Doctrine.Ima verry smart grrl, ekshually.
Think about what you just said from the perspective of the Paki population, or the Iraqi population, or the Afghani population.
We are meddlers.
America go home.
Why is the shoe thrower one of most popular heroes in MENA?
Because most of MENA agrees with him.
Bush’s intentions were totally the best!
But the road to hell is paved with those.

Not saying US needs to intervene in Kenya.
I am saying that the World needs to start paying attention to the civil war that’s breaking out there, and needs to start putting pressure on Odinga, and the Mungiki to back off.
Odinga is trying to take control of the board in charge of the elections. There’s now a power sharing agreement between his mostly Muslim side, and the forces of democracy. If he gets the board, it will be all over.
It’s a Hitler-style coup of the government, similar to what happened in Germany circa 1934.
And it MUST! BE STOPPED.

I second that. My husband went to a missionary school in Kenya, and we have been following what is going on over there closely. My in-laws still live in Uganda so we try to keep up on relations over there. Thanks for posting this.

She’ll like that, because spam is cool now. After all, iur new President eats it when he’s on vacation. In fact, it’s the official state food of the place he claims to have been born in.
Speaking of spam, anyone hear about the DC “news source” that was busted for Photoshopping O’bama’s pecs to make them look bigger? Goebbels would be proud of them.
Del Dolemonte on April 26, 2009 at 8:23 PM
I think that you are absolutely right.
Now if you can just figure out a way to tie Meagan Mac into it, in a good way, or Sarah Palin into it, in a bad way, you will have a good chance of catching AllahP’s ear. Ed? I’m not sure what rings his bell.
