Taliban and handsome boys

[hulaku]

GHAZNI: The Taliban have warned Afghans that possessing pictures of ‘unrelated women and handsome boys’ was against Islamic law and owning ‘shiny new phones’ runs contrary to their religious dignity.

The Taliban have been posting ‘night letters’ in the volatile southeastern province of Ghazni, reminding Afghans of their religious obligations and reiterating warnings that they will attempt to disrupt crucial presidential elections on Aug. 20.

In a restatement of the Taliban’s austere interpretation of Islam, one letter warned people, especially the young, against using hi-tech gadgets such as cell phones with photography and video functions.

‘People with camera cellphones must not have pictures of unrelated women and handsome boys in their phones, which is against Islamic sharia,’ reads one letter, obtained by ******* on Monday. Sharia is Islamic religious law.

Editor's note: The Taliban has released a new "code of conduct" for fighters in the field, listing what is acceptable behavior and what is not. The following are CNN translations of excerpts from the code.

(CNN) -- Chapter 1: Security
Any Muslim can invite anyone working for the slave government in Kabul to quit their job and remove themselves from the corrupt administration.
Chapter 2: Prisoners
It is strictly prohibited to exchange prisoners for money. Killing can only be decided by the Imam or his deputy. Noone else has the right to do so.
If a military infidel is captured, any decision to kill, conditionally release or exchange such a prisoner can only be made by the Imam or his deputy.
Chapter 7: On the Mujahideen
Suicide attacks should be at high value and important targets because a brave son of Islam should not be used for low value and useless targets. In suicide attacks the killing of innocent people and damage to their property should be minimized.
Chapter 10: Regional Issues
All Mujahideen must do their best to avoid civilian deaths and injuries and damage to civilian property.
Chapter 11: Regarding prohibited things
Weapons used to be taken from people by force, this practice is no longer permitted. But people may hand over their weapons voluntarily.
No Mujahid is allowed to smoke.
A male who has not yet grown a beard may not stay in a common sleeping area with other men.

Well they aren't allowed to be growing or handling drugs in anyway or form ... yet that hasn't stopped them from raking in the profits of the opium trade.

Islam and hypocrisy go hand in hand. It is after all the religion of peace! :roll:

After a long hot day evading Hellfires and angry Brits... those poor Talibs must be getting awful lonely up in those hills

[2Sheds_Jackson]

What's going on here? They're worried that the faithful will begin to confuse handsome boys with women? I think that's quite progressive of them. Indeed, who among us hasn't fantasized about using a nail gun to attach a couple of water balloons to Zac Efron and going all Forrest Hump/Bi-Curious George/Top Gun on him? I know I have. But frankly, I don't think they've gone far enough here. If a guy can get lonely enough to switch from women to men - then related women, and ugly boys had better watch out too.

Taliban is not Islam per se , you know !!!
well I am sure you don't know, so I won't lecture you on the history and the development of the Taliban mind-set as well as their biggest sponsors, Saudis, who are (like Taliban do) adhering to an interpretation of Islam, which was only 100 or so years ago established.
The establishment of this school is another mystery, Ottoman regime tried to eradicate this unorthodox interpretation but failed due to foreign intervention, mainly British.
so it goes....

[little icebear]

Anybody read T.E. Lawrence "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom"? He stated how it was not unusual for the arab fighters to engange in homo****** acts with their comrades.
No matter how often the likes of Achmedinejad tell a different story - us Westerners have no monopoly on homo****** behaviour.
When it comes to A´stan, I recall a dokumentary in which it was stated that militia leaders often kept a pretty boy around as a kind of status symbol...

There are some sick stories of abuse of young boys/men in Afghanistan, even semi-accepted in society. But that's something you don't really hear anything in western media.

Please, T.E. Lawrence couldn't himself help but describe the young and golden men who accompanied him everywhere, I'm convinced he himself was gayer than a $3 bill :)

I do recall that there was infighting between Muj commanders over a young boy at one point when reading "Forever War".

I think Mr. Lawrence was more of something what our resident gay community would call a "Klemmschwester" - a homo****** who doesn´t want to admit his ****** orientation to himself or to his enviroment - despite all the obvious signs.

However - apart from Hape Kerkeling, Lawrence of Arabia was the coolest homo ever. p-)

Fun fact: A friend of mine who´s originally from a village in a rural area of Anatolia stated that Zoophilia was (although of course a taboo as well) not uncommon amongst the young, male population.

Reason is: Getting pussy without being married is/was pretty dangerous.

Edit: Now I´ll have to go in hiding from the turkish mp.net community... maybe I should have kept my mouth shut...

[SOG]

If the West Baptist fruitcakes represented 10-20% of Christians in agreement then yes you could. When a sizable portion of the population agrees with or helps the Taliban on a regular basis then it does kind of paint a picture that the two are semi-related in that region and several others. Taliban=Extremists and Islam has a very large active percent of extremists.

They allow the heroin because it goes to the non-Muslim Western market.

Also I say America can win in A-stan if they build some secret brothels and *** the hell out of the Taliban.That energy needs to go somewhere better into *** than shooting at Americans.

[PeterG]

I hate the taliban as much as anyone else - but they actually oppose, and try to end the widespread rape and abuse of young boys in afghan society. Rape and abuse that are tolerated by the western forces there.

As for the taliban making the profit from the heroin trade - that is a convenient little lie, when we know full well that the rich landowners and warlords that are allowed by the US to smuggle heroin in return for supporting the 'war on terror' - friends, allies, and voters of Karzai, control this market. Karzais brother is himself a convicted heroin dealer. The entire afghan government apparatus is rotten to the core with corruption and inefficiency.

I don't buy for a second that the heroin trade is 'controlled by the taliban'.

[Panchito12]

I don't buy for a second that the heroin trade is 'controlled by the taliban'.

So who controls it? The CIA? The Queen of England? The MAN?

Well have you done your homework on the subject.Even before the Americans went in the Taliban put a tax on it(poppy harvest).They may be crazy but when it comes to funding they can be as pragmatic as you or I.


Who controls it then CIA? ISI? In some ways taliban seem to be a loose nationalistic group under the umbrella of Islam.Someone wants the heroin market to thrive.NATO could have taken care of the problem in a year or two but since NATO arrived (at least since 2003) heroin market has increased according to UN figures.There is a line west through Turkey,Bulgaria,Kosovo-Metohija,Albania and speedboats to Italy and then the Western market.

you should talk to those Turks stemming from cities of the said country and not from the southeastern part of it.
How about the recent rise in the number of kids kidnapped, raped and then sadistically killed in another country?
Does that belong to the culture of that country?







of course not...

Open or not, he was definitely into some kink since enjoyed being whipped by men.

Who do you think controls it - the taliban? That's a load of rubbish. This article by Thomas Schweich, who served the Bush administration as the ambassador for counternarcotics and justice reform in Afghanistan, explains how corrupt and deeply involved the afghan govt and their supporters is involved in the drugtrade.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/magazine/27AFGHAN-t.html?_r=1

And i wouldn't be the slightest bit suprised - not the slightest, since they have done it before - if it was revealed some day that the CIA helped afghan druglords smuggle heroin to the USA and other western nations, in return for help fighting the taliban. Other heroin dealers that don't cooperate, would be more likely to be stopped.

Just like when the CIA flew cocaine into the US on CIA aircraft, in return for druglords helping to fight the commies in latin america.

If the taliban control the biggest cash crop in Afghanistan - then they are in control on the ground in Afghanistan, and the western forces there irrelevant and defeated. That is a logical conclusion. Is it this way? Or is the heroin coming from areas under the control of the afghan army and the western forces in country..?

They may or may not 'control' the heroin trade but one thing is for sure the Taliban will be at the very least taking a big percentage.
