Sharia in action in Pakistan: Taliban warn against "un-Islamic act" of uploading songs onto mobile phones

Hadith Qudsi 19:5: "The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance." (The Hadith Qudsi, or holy Hadith, are those in which Muhammad transmits the words of Allah, although those words are not in the Qur'an.)

Muhammad also said:

(1) "Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance."

(2) "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress."

(3) "Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage."

(4) "This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones." Someone asked, "When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?" and he said, "When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful."

(5) "There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ...." -- 'Umdat al-Salik r40.0

"Stop uploading songs on mobile phones, warns Taliban pamphlet," by Abuzar Afridi for the Express Tribune, August 13 (thanks to Lachlan):

LANDI KOTAL: Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) issued a pamphlet to owners of mobile phone shops in the Landi Kotal area of Khyber Agency, warning them to stop uploading songs, movies and pictures to mobile phones.
The pamphlet stated that those associated with mobile phone business should wind up and start another business as they are committing “un-Islamic acts” by uploading songs and movies to mobile phones.

Political administration official for the area Amjid Shinwari confirmed that the pamphlet was issued by unidentified TTP militants on August 12 and added that these pamphlets were distributed and pasted on the shutters of various mobile phone shops.

The shop and market owners are also threatened of dire consequences if the instructions are not followed.

“The owner of this market along with the businessmen would be targeted,” the pamphlet stated.

There is no fun in Islam and the miserable tone-deaf Mohammed hated music, so therefore no one else was allowed to enjoy music either.
The West should not concentrate on building Nuclear arsenals. Instead they should build the World's largest set of speakers, higher than the World's tallest skyscraper, or even higher than Everest, even wider than Los Angeles, in fact, as big as Switzerland, and point them at the Middle East.
Next thing, hold a rock concert and blast those mad Mullahs off the planet!

"Youths" riot, torch buildings, cars and injure several policemen in Amiens, France

And again, the media helping justify these intolerant, bigoted, criminal, pathological sociopathic pedohammedans by failing to mention Islam/muslims and instead talking about "deprivation, social exclusion and marginalization" when muslims themselves are the ones who exclude and marginalize themselves, they don't care about integration and obeying the laws of each country, they all care about submitting the host culture to them, they all wanna impose their views and ideology. Ergo, they actively reject inclusion!.

I thought that only Jews were transformed into monkeys and pigs!

Cue up "I don't need no Docter" by Humble Pie on the stereo.

Turn up the volume.

Hit play.

Problem solved.

They're banning **all** movies?

But I heard that a lot of Mohammedans out there just love watching beheading videos on their mobile phones - wasn't there a report on that some time ago, right here? - and I know that they use them to watch videos of suicide murder-'martyr' attacks going forward.

From a report discussed here some time ago:

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2008/12/we-are-meeting-and-discussing-global-jihad-issues.html

"Journalist Sean Langan tells of life in terror camp, escape from Taliban,"

Excerpt:

'During interrogation, they demanded he identify his young sons - an infuriating attempt "to bring innocence and light into a dark, corrupted world," he said.

'Fearing a beheading, he revealed one son's name is Gabriel, as in the archangel, and one of the holiest names in Islam.
The Taliban wept - and Haqqani sent a letter of apology.

'A teary-eyed interrogator threw his arm around Langan and showed him a young boy's photo on his cell phone.

'A father-to-father moment?

'Hardly. **The next photo showed the bomb-strapped kid blowing up a U.S. Humvee.** {my emphasis - dda}.   "I'm looking at him like, you're a sociopath," Langan said.'...

"Just before friends got him freed, Langan was moved to an Al Qaeda safe-house, where **he was forced to watch jihadi sniper and beheading videos with a militant's toddler son** {my emphasis - dda}."

Music videos, Bollywood, and such - haram.

Keeping photos on your mobile phone that show *your own child* blowing himself up as a murder-'martyr' in order to kill Infidles - Halal.

Music and singing - haram.

Letting your toddler watch real-life people getting killed, in footage of snipings and beheadings - halal.
