The blast happened in the Musafir CD Centre located in the basement of a busy shopping centre.
The roof of the shop collapsed in the bombing, Peshawar.
A doctor at a nearby hospital said 20 people were injured, five of them seriously.
The bomb had apparently been placed in a water cooler inside the shop.
The owner of the shop had been receiving threats from suspected militants to close his "un-Islamic" business.

trying to stop the release of this album Im sure
...jihad against music continues....
Anytime now, anytime, I expect the peaceful moderate muslims of Peshawar to rise up in protest against these radical extremist muslims and overthrow them. i also believe in the great pumpkin, the tooth fairy, and santa claus.
Please take note Bono, Madonna, Rage Against the Machine and any other crybaby musicians that preach about how evil the U.S. is.... Any real musicians I hope you are using your creativity to fight this madness.
Buying a gun in Afghanistan? No problem.
Buying a CD in Afghanistan? You take your life into your hands.
This is the perfect society that the Koran creates? And they say the US is a violent nation!
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin to the top
The sheik he drove his cadillac
He went a cruisin down the ville
The muezzin was a standing
On the radiator grille
Chorus
The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah
The shareef dont like it
Rockin the casbah
Rock the casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy casbah sound
But the bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail
Chorus
Now over at the temple
Oh! they really pack em in
The in-crowd say its cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy casbah jive
Chorus
The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the casbah way
As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed
Chorus
He thinks its not kosher
Fundamentally he cant take it.
You know he really hates it.

OT (sorry to interrupt this musical soiree)
Mike Hukabee - how does he rate in awareness of the challenge of islam, and how does he look as far as foreign policy, and working with alliances domestic and foreign ?
If he is strong in these areas, he might be a candidate middle America is looking for.
(but then Catta was also from the South, appeared to be a moral man, and turned out to be a disaster in foreign policy and a fellator of anyone passing out petrodollars or hatred of 'zionists')
Is Hukabee a real possibility ? (what's the skinny ?)
This is 'music jihad'. A branch of 'sensory deprivation jihad', An attempt at 'purity jihad', a purity which does not exist in Islam, cannot exist in Islam, and cannot be imposed by force. You can turn the music off, but a state of purity will not result. You can force a dress code, but a state of 'purity' will not result. You can wash your feet and pray five times a day and 'purity' will not result from it. If a muslim stumbles on 'purity', it was in spite of Islam, not because of it. A muslim who stumbles on 'purity' will apostate himself in order to preserve his 'purity'. The 'pure ' cannot associate with the impure, they are separated by specific gravity. Truth floats to the top along with purity. The rest are ever heavier layers of taqiyya and kitman, belief in which guarantee no purity, no matter how many music stores are closed...
Comments welcome from Yusuf Islam (in arte Cat Stevens) and from assorted hip-hoplites who may have been tempted to...well, you know.
I have to wonder about a religion that bands music sung mostly beautiful music in the world is a choral music performed by the Catholic Church could it be Islam so utterly ugly and backwards that he cannot stand beauty of any sort whether that's the beauty of a woman or the beauty of a piece of music and its response to beauty is to destroy it in the name of their cult

......Michael Jackson, did don a burka, and he probably did . uuummmm ...you know....
mowasaperv,
Although I am now somewhere between an atheist and agnostic, I recall the beautiful choir music (sung in Latin) at the Catholic churches I attended as a youth. Still to this day, it enchants me.
dgene-
Huckabee has no chance.
Reasons:
1) a silly sounding name ("Huckleberry Finn/Hound") for a president,
2)not enough money raised,
3)comes from Hope (SEE: Bill Clinton), Arkansas, and-
4) sounds, not commadning, but diffident.
It'll be Guiliani, Romney or Thompson, barring mishaps, on the R side.
Versus Harridan on the D.
Says a great deal about Islam. Anything of beauty has to be deatroyed
P.S.:
Huckabee's turns out to be irrefutably soft on illegal immigration (campaigned with Clinton ? -yecch)
He loses on a fundamental issue.
He's toast.
Turn him over, he's done.
Run from this guy.
