Following through on an earlier threat against music shops and markets where women shopped. "Militants blow up 63 shops in Swat," by Saleem Athar for the Daily Times:
MINGORA: Suspected militants on Friday blew up 63 CD and shoe shops in the Mina Bazaar and Ali Plaza and partially damaged 21 nearby shops, but there were no casualties, witnesses said.
In Ali Plaza, the explosion destroyed 19 shops selling shoes and a mobile repairing shop in the basement, while 27 CD shops and a mobile repairing shop were destroyed in the first floor of the plaza.
In Mina Bazaar, the blast destroyed 15 CD shops and partially damaged nine nearby shops. Around 12 mobile repairing shops were partially damaged in Qadria Market. Offices of Daily Times, Aaj TV and Online news agency were also partially damaged due to the Mina Bazaar blasts, which also broke the windowpanes of Lalazaar Hotel, Bolan Hotel and Anwar Hotel.
A few days ago, unidentified people had threatened the owners of these video and CDs shops through letters, warning them to close their “un-Islamic” business or face bomb attacks. The owners of the video centres had started negotiating with the local administration to find alternative businesses. However, the militants bombed the CD shops after the deadline expired.
What -- the shoes wouldn't convert?
champ-
"What~ the shoes wouldn't convert?"
No, they were loafers.
LOL, profitsbeard! Corny!
I wonder what kind of music they had on those CDs... Is it that yowling that passes for their music?
This has to be a joke - with Bin Ahole mouthing stuff right off commie Cnn, DNC and other leftist media which lives in the 'popular' culture.
The only hint of light in these historical anachronisms is this culture which they are trying to blow up.
Please pass me another virgin.
"No, they were loafers"....good one!! LOL
The great Satan is now in the form of a Made in China fake leather size 8 shoe.
You couldn't make it up.
Inquiring minds want to know....did Naseem's boot-maker boyfriend, get the boot or a bomb, courtesy of Naseem's fellow travelers in the religion of peace? This sounds serious. Naseem's boyfriend better get another job, or Naseem should get another boyfriend, one with a job that is pleasing to Allah. Shoes can be a very dangerous business to be in, especially when you are stuck in an area where everyone lives in 7th century mode.
CDs play music, and Allah doesn't like that. What do shoes represent to these lunatics?
Oh great ... now shoes are too decadent for this 7th century freaks.
...and tell me again, why the "moderate Muslims" are not up in arms about this senseless 7th century moronic violent behavior?....
....and tell me again, why the MSM does not report such violence as this....after all, how many shoe stores and CD shops are there in the US and the UK...?....hmmmmm
...this is what you can expect if you do not start banning Muslim Immigration now....
True insanity. But how are shoes un-islamic? I am familiar with the justification for no music, but no shoes (or rather certain types of shoes I would imagine)?
A truly despicable action, carried out by a bunch of heels with no souls!
Innocent shoes=Collateral Damage.
Still waiting for the moderate peaceful secular muslims to rise up and drive these 7 th century muslim hoodlums into the desert? don't hold your breaths, many if not most pakis actually support these people.
Anything that's beautiful, graceful, noble or really uplifting, has to be squeezed out of the human spirit by Islam.
Can it be any wonder that people blow themselves in it's name? It must be unbearable to live in that kind of ugliness. No wonder they prefer death to life.
It makes perfect sense what they are doing. CDs bring Western influences and values, which are a threat to Islamic civilization. The two do not mix. So, let's put a big wall around them and let them stay backwards and ignorant. Not our problem as long as they stay on their side of the fence and sell us oil.
Remember when saddam's statue came down and they were hitting it with their shoes? There is something about shoes, LOL!! but what?
Maybe 'shoe fetish', is a problem in Islam. Closet shoe sniffers? I don't remember reading anything in the Quran, or hadith that had to do with sniffing shoes, or any other shoe fetishes. I guess this is just another example of little known Islamic sex symbolism. The closer I look at Islamic theory and behavior, the more sexual symbolism I see in it...
It's an insult to display the sole of a shoe to someone in Muslim countries. Same goes for the sole of the foot. That's why they were hitting Saddam's statue with their shoes.
perhaps the shoes were being made with a skin from pigs
Well the Taliban HATED noisy shoes, remember? Women were whipped in the streets for wearing them. I'm not quite sure what noisy shoes are. Probably the adolescent shoes who haven't learned yet to be quiet.
Idiots.....
Trying to find a "reason" behind the actions of these ignorant mullahf*&kers is a waste of synapses. Why did they blow up shoes? Because it was something to blow up. Only language they seem to understand. Hmmmmmm......
"Maybe 'shoe fetish', is a problem in Islam. Closet shoe sniffers?"....LOL!!!
Jihadists blow up 63 "CD and shoe shops" in Pakistan
* * *
May their soles rest in peace.
Laaaa! Say it ain't so, Mo! How will we insult the kafirs with our insolent orthotic superiority without our threatening waving of the shoes in their kafir faces! This must be Shoefi heresy! I declare a fatwa on Walid Shoebat, then.
atheling-
"Corny".
(That's even worse! said the bunion to the spur.)
I wish someone would invent a musical shoe.
You step with one foot and it plays one line of a tune, and the other plays the next.
Maybe some "Steppen...wulf"?
This would drive the Taliboobs bananas.
"Ahmed! Are your infidel shoes are playing 'Magic Carpet Ride' "!?
This would drive the Taliboobs bananas.
-profitsbeard
Yes, we have no talibananas.
You guys are BAD!!!
ROFL!!!
