    The Taliban are at it again i see.
    Seventeen civilians have been beheaded by Taliban insurgents in southern Afghanistan for attending a party, government officials say.

    The bodies of two women and 15 men were found by the side of a road in the Musa Qala district of Helmand province.

    Meanwhile, 10 Afghan army soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack in the same province.

    In eastern Afghanistan, two US soldiers were shot dead by an Afghan National Army soldier.

    The bodies of the 17 civilians, which were discovered on Monday morning, were said to show signs of beatings. Some had gunshot wounds.

    Local officials said the men had gathered to listen to music and watch the women dance when they were attacked. The Taliban disapprove of men and women mixing socially

    So, if you were at house party this weekend that both members of the opposite sex were in attendance. Be tankful for that sore head your nursing! (at least it's still on your shoulders)

    Mispelling?

    Whats the deal with beheading,is it just a deterrent or har it got some religious connection


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    I just want to assure everyone that the majority of muslims feel mildly ambivalent about these type of beheadings

    Beheadings are a specific sharia law punishment, specifically for infidels and such I think. Bloody horrible anyway.

    Beheadings are just there to send a message out to others. Pure no man's land down there in parts of Afghan.

    Cartels in Mexico do the same thing, behead / hang people and then leave them out in public to spread a message to the other gang(s).

    Except the cartels have grown bored with beheadings and have now moved onto removing the skin off the head in one clean go leaving the eyes in the skull while the mask-like face is hung up.

    Maybe it was just a misunderstanding.

    It's f*cking sick.

    I give out about my circumstances at the moment sometimes, but I am glad I live here and not there. Jesus, I'd never sleep a wink in a place like that. Horrific.

    I don't know how you can make that assumption. That area is a tribal land and tribes go to war with each other all the time over sometimes trivial things. Some people actually like the Taliban as they bring some sort of order to that chaos and these people don't know any better.

    I'm sure someone told the Taliban what was going on and that there's probably a majority of people in the area that are only delighted to hear the infidels were dealt with.

    I think that's gotta be the worse part.
    I get that for Muslims sex outside of marriage isn't exactly accepted but wouldn't be like me saying "hey, ScumLord ran a red light, better inform the locals so they can kill him"?

    Islam the religion of tolerance and peace.

    O - look who's here.

    You know, its terribly hypocritical of somebody who practices bigotry to pop up and give out about others lack in the tolerance department.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine


    17 people killed and 4 pages of people making puns and jokes.

    everyone who joked about this is a fucking horrible human being.

    some people care more about grammar than human life.
