I have several articles below with comments. Jihad was on the march this week.
In the Islamic Paradise Known as Pakistan. Radical Muslim Women make local hos and pimps submit to Islam…which brings peace. When the police say this is against the law, the Jihadi Women don’t like that the police are interfering with “peace”…I mean submission to Islam, so they kidnap the cops too!! Hmmm…HBO should do a new special. “Jihadis up, Hos Down”. Oh but wait a follow up BBC article link at the bottom shows the woman was not a whore house madam, she just rented a room to single women. The horror of it…LOL
Students raid Islamabad ‘brothel’
Dozens of young women from a religious school in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, have broken into an alleged brothel and kidnapped the owner.
The women, from the nearby Jamia Hafsa madrassa, burst in late on Tuesday, demanding the premises be shut down.
The women say they have a right to end immoral activity under Islamic law.
The BBC’s Navdip Dhariwal in Islamabad says it is the first time such bold Taleban-style activity seen elsewhere in Pakistan has occurred in the city.
The Jamia Hafsa school has been at the centre of controversy in recent months.
In February, armed students prevented the authorities from demolishing an illegally constructed mosque and occupied a nearby children’s library.
They have also demanded that local video owners close their stores.
‘Not mistreated’
Correspondents say prostitution is widespread in Pakistan, even though it is illegal.
The women who led Tuesday night’s raid near the city centre included teachers and students incensed, the school says, by reports the house was being used for immoral purposes.

They were later joined by male colleagues from the men’s section of the madrassa.
When the alleged brothel’s owner refused to shut the building, the raiding party forcibly shut it themselves and took the woman, her daughter and daughter-in-law back to the madrassa where they are still being held.
Initially the police were reluctant to step in to rescue the woman, but later registered a case and arrested two female teachers of the school.
But students then kidnapped two policemen from a nearby patrol. They too are being held in the madrassa and were allowed to speak to reporters.
“They have not mistreated us, they have served us tea and allowed us to keep our mobile phones,” one of them, constable Hamad Raza said, the AFP news agency reports.
“We are told that negotiations are under way and we hope the matter will be over soon,” he said.
School officials also say that two other teachers have been missing since early on Wednesday morning and that they believe they were kidnapped by intelligence agencies.
Their whereabouts is unclear.
School raided
The Jamia Hafsa has long been a problem for the capital city administration and Pakistan’s President General Musharraf.
It has often criticised his policies in the “war on terror” and called for Islamic law to be enforced in Pakistan.
The madrassa was among schools raided after the London bombings of July 2005 over alleged links with the bombers.
Madrassa officials deny any such links.
Our correspondent says it appears the administration is reluctant or helpless to take action against the school’s teachers and students.
The incident comes amid concerns over the increasing “Talebanisation” of parts of Pakistan.
In Pakistan’s tribal areas and in North West Frontier Province (NWFP), religious groups have sought to impose strict Islamic law on local people.
Across the tribal areas and in parts of NWFP, video and CD shops have been attacked and closed, barbers are banned from shaving beards and non-religious music and singing is prohibited.
Muslims in Ethiopia don’t like Evangelists. Now I agree with them, I hate these folks too. When Jehovah Witness or worse yet those damn Mormon cultist freaks come to my home I usually say something rude to them and slam the door, so they don’t come back. I think Muslims in Ethiopia have figured it out. If you don’t want these people to come back or harrass anyone else you must ensure the public peace by “making them submit” because submission = peace. Unfortunately, I”m sure Christian Evangelist won’t submit, so the only way to ensure future peace is to…oh you guessed it…”BEAT THEM TO DEATH”. After they are dead, then you will have peace. Jihadi logic works every time.
Ethiopian Evangelist Beaten to Death by Militant Muslims: Militant Wahabbi Islamists Drag Christian Evangelist into Mosque and Beat Him to Death
Contact: Jeff King, President, International Christian Concern, 800-422-5441, icc@persecution.org
WASHINGTON, Mar. 29 /Christian Newswire/ — The Washington-DC based human rights group, International Christian Concern (ICC) has just learned that an Ethiopian evangelist named Tedase was beaten to death by militant Muslims on Monday, March 26th, as he and two young women were on a street evangelism assignment in Jimma, Ethiopia. This marks the second time in six months that Christians residing in Southeast Ethiopia have been attacked and killed by extremist (Wahabbi) Muslims.
On Monday afternoon Tedase and two female coworkers were conducting street evangelism on Merkato Street in Jimma, Southern Ethiopia. Merkato Street runs by a Wahabbi Mosque. As the team was walking by the Mosque, a group of Muslims exited the Mosque and began to run after them to confront them. Tedase’s female coworkers ran away from the mob but Tedase continued on. The Muslims caught up with Tedase, pulled him into the mosque, and savagely beat him to death. Sources from Jimma reported that Tedase was beaten with a calculated intention to kill him. This was no accident or case of mob frenzy getting out of control. His body was later taken to the hospital for an autopsy and he was buried Tuesday, March 27.
Our sources also reveal that Jimma Christians were conducting an evangelism campaign, and news of the outreach was spreading among Jimma residents as well as militant Muslim groups in the area. The Muslims that belonged to the Wahabbi sect purposefully beat Tedase to death as a message to Christians that they are ready to combat evangelism.
Aftershocks of the September 2006 Pogrom
This most recent incident in Ethiopia confirms ICC’s decision to include this country in its Hall of Shame list, which highlights nations where Christians are enduring the most severe persecution. It is important to note that the Muslims who attacked Tedase belonged to the Wahabbi brand of Islam, an extremist sect imported from Saudi Arabia. It is clear that the Christians in Ethiopia are feeling Saudi Arabia’s influence, particularly in Jimma, a Muslim dominated area where local authorities are almost exclusively Muslim. It was only six months ago, in September of 2006, that Muslim extremists burned down a number of churches and parishes, as well as Christian homes. As many as 2,000 Christians were displaced by the attack, an attempt to intimidate Christians with the hopes of converting them to Islam.
Evangelical church leaders are fearful that if police ignore Tedase’s death, it will be a green light for Muslim groups in the area to attack their Christian neighbors at will and without retribution. We appeal to concerned individuals to contact the Ethiopian embassy in their own countries to ask for an investigation of Tedase’s murder.
The problem is that the UK doesn’t realize that they are infidels. See, they are not complete scum, well the secular ones are, but the Christians are people of the book. As is common, all they need to do is ’submit’ and enjoy the virtues of their inferior Dhimmitude and all will be forgiven. There will then be “peace”. If the British insist on things like “fairness” and “logic” well that will just infuriate the Iranians even more, because…those things are not conducive to “peace”. Fairness and logic can only be between two Muslims, and only in the context of the Qur’an. Dhimmie must first submit and beg for mercy at their transgression and then pay some tax and maybe they won’t get executed.
It is obvious that the British infidels don’t understand their position and are risking the wrath of Allah and the true believers…I hope they go ahead and submit (which will bring peace) so that we can put this ugly event behind us. Maybe Tony Blair should go wash and kiss the feet of the Ayatollah. (NOT).
What they will understand quite clearly is domination. If you don’t make them submit they will not respect you. Listen up Tony…give them a deadline, if they don’t give up the people inflict serious brutal (Saddam and Whabbi Jihadi) type punishment on them. They will definitely understand that. Some soldiers might get killed but I bet they will NEVER EVER do this again. If you don’t make them submit they will definitely do it again and feel like they won a victory. Persians are nowhere as tribal as Gulf Arabs, but they do understand Middle Eastern law…you have to make your enemy submit and accept their inferior status and never appear weak. I know Tony doesn’t have the stones to do it though he is a pansy. We need a new Winston Church Hill and more Gen. Patton, and less Patten Leather. Bush and Blair combined don’t have as much testosterone in their pinky as Neville Chamberlain had in his entire body and the latter was the biggest NAZI suck up in European history. Were did all the “reall men” go…are there any left in the West???
U.N. urges resolution of Iran seizure
By EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press WriterThu Mar 29, 7:23 PM ET
The U.N. Security Council expressed “grave concern” Thursday over Iran’s seizure of 15 British sailors and marines and called for an early resolution of the escalating dispute, but Iran’s chief international negotiator suggested the captives might be put on trial.
The council’s statement wasn’t as tough as Britain had hoped, though, and the divide seemed to deepen.
As the standoff drove world oil prices to new six-month highs, Turkey, NATO’s only Muslim member, reportedly sought to calm tensions by urging Iran to let a Turkish diplomat meet with the detainees and to free the lone woman among the Britons.
Tensions had seemed to be cooling a day earlier, but after Iran offended leaders by airing a video of the prisoners and Britain touched a nerve in Tehran by seeking U.N. help, positions hardened even more Thursday.
Iran retreated from a pledge by Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki that the female sailor, Faye Turney, would be released soon. Mottaki then repeated that the matter could be resolved if Britain admitted its sailors mistakenly entered Iranian territorial waters last Friday.
Britain’s Foreign Office insisted again that the sailors and marines were seized in an Iraqi-controlled area while searching merchant ships under a U.N. mandate and said no admission of error would be made.
With Britain taking its case to the United Nations, Ali Larijani, the top Iranian negotiator in all his country’s foreign dealings, went on Iranian state radio to issue a warning.
He said that if Britain continued its current approach, “this case may face a legal path” — a clear reference to Iran prosecuting the sailors and marines in court. “British leaders have miscalculated this issue,” he said.
Gen. Ali Reza Afshar, Iran’s military chief, blamed the backtracking on releasing the British woman on “wrong behavior” by her government. “The release of a female British soldier has been suspended,” the semiofficial Iranian news agency Mehr said.
The Security Council’s statement was a watered-down version of a stronger draft sought by Britain to “deplore” Iranian actions and urge the immediate release of the prisoners, primarily because Russia and South Africa opposed putting blame on the Tehran regime, diplomats said.
Russia also objected to the council adopting Britain’s position that its sailors were operating in Iraqi waters when they were captured, the diplomats said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
With agreement required from all 15 members for a statement’s wording, the parties spent more than four hours in private talks before emerging with wording softer than had been sought by Britain, which is also known as the United Kingdom.
“Members of the Security Council expressed grave concern at the capture by the Revolutionary Guard and the continuing detention by the government of Iran of 15 United Kingdom naval personnel and appealed to the government of Iran to allow consular access in terms of the relevant international laws,” the statement said.
“Members of the Security Council support calls including by the secretary-general in his March 29 meeting with the Iranian foreign minister for an early resolution of this problem including the release of the 15 U.K. personnel.”
South African Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo said negotiations were needed to ensure the statement focused on the agreed facts. “There is no political twisting of anything that happened,” he said.
British Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry expressed satisfaction with the statement and said he hoped it would send “the right message” to the Iranian government that it should provide immediate access to the prisoners and bring their prompt release.
Earlier, Iranian state television reported what was believed to be Ahmadinejad’s first comment on the standoff, saying he accused Britain of using propaganda rather than trying to solve the matter quietly through diplomatic channels.
Iran’s state TV also said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip had contacted Ahmadinejad seeking permission for a Turkish diplomat to meet with the seized Britons and urging the release of Turney, the female sailor.
Erdogan’s move was seen as a possible opening to mediation in the faceoff because Turkey is one of the few countries that has good relations with both Iran and the West.
The report said Ahmadinejad promised that Erdogan’s appeal would be studied, but also told the Turkish leader that the detention case had entered a legal investigation phase.
State television also broadcast a video it said showed show the operation that seized the British sailors and marines. In the clip, a helicopter hovers above inflatable boats in choppy seas, then the Royal Navy crews are seen seated in an Iranian vessel.
The video came a day after Iran broadcast a longer video showing the Britons in captivity. That video included a segment showing Turney saying her team had “trespassed” in Iranian waters.
British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett condemned Iran’s use of Turney for what she called “propaganda purposes,” calling it “outrageous and cruel.”
The Iranians released a letter Wednesday purportedly written by Turney to her family saying the British sailors were in Iranian waters. And the video aired Thursday showed another letter supposedly by Turney to Britain’s Parliament calling for British troops to leave Iraq.
“I ask the representatives of the House of Commons, after the government promised that this kind of incident wouldn’t happen again, why did they let this occur, and why has the government not been questioned over this,” the letter read. “Isn’t it time to start withdrawing our forces from Iraq and let them determine their own future?”
Some experts raised questions about that letter, saying its wording hinted it was first composed in Farsi and then translated into English.
“It’s obviously been dictated to her,” said Nadim Shehadi, an expert on Iran at the Chatham House think tank in London. “There’s no way she would phrase it like that.”
Beckett said there were “grave concerns about the circumstances in which it was prepared and issued.”
“This blatant attempt to use Leading Seaman Turney for propaganda purposes is outrageous and cruel,” Beckett said.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Tony Blair said Britain wanted to resolve the crisis quickly and without having a “confrontation over this.”
“We are not seeking to put Iran in a corner. We are simply saying, ‘Please release the personnel who should not have been seized in the first place,’” said the spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government policy.
But in a briefing to reporters, the spokesman said British officials had been angered by Tehran’s decision to show video of the captives.
“Nobody should be put in that position. It is an impossible position to be put in,” he said. “It is wrong. It is wrong in terms of the usual conventions that cover this. It is wrong in terms of basic humanity.”

The above artical refere to Web Creator who is making joke of Islam
Shekib -
He does not need to make a joke of Islam. From where I sit, its radical followers are making a mockery of it all on their own.
One more thing: any religion which creates a basis for death and destruction of others and of their property is fundamentally flawed. Stick that in your turbine and light it.
Good point there, Clear Thinking. You gave Shekib two things to ponder:
1. Why isn’t he (Shekib) angry about those who have hijacked his religion.
1a. Why isn’t he(Shekib) angry at the lack of leadership from within his religious community over that ? (What are they doing to combat this hijacking of his religion?)
2. He (Shekib) should be doing some really deep personal soul searching for attaching himself to a belief-system (religious or otherwise) which leaves room for killing other human beings if they don’t happen to believe in a system which leaves room for killing other human beings in the name of that belief system.
For Clear Thinking… you really should have left off the remark about placing the idea into their turbine and lighting it. I don’t think they actually wear turbines, do they?
