Even we did a double take when we read this breathtaking example of dhimmi grovelling from Norway (hat tip – Islam in Europe):

Burhanuddin Rabbani, former Afghan president and chairman of the Afghan High Peace Council, told BBC Persian Sunday that Norway had invested large amounts of money and had invited Taliban delegations to Norway several times recently for talks.

Nine Norwegian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, most of them by the Taliban. UN envoy Siri Skare was also killed in a Taliban attack.

Helge Lurås of the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), says it’s clear Norway has a political interest in a reconciliation process, but that he doesn’t know how far it’s gotten. He also points out that it’s not certain that the strategy of the Norwegian authorities complies with that of the US and UK.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no comment.

No wonder. These treacherous backstabbers from Norway should hang their heads in shame – and do a little research on the Islamic concepts of Taqiyya and Hudna.

What a cowardly, depraved act of appeasement.

Enjoy it while you can: Afghan wedding crackdown imminent as Kazai government moves to taliban-style restrictions

There’s an awful lot of flesh on display at Qasre Aros in central Kabul. Arms and shoulders are free to the elements, while necklines plunge daringly low on garish ballgowns made of every shade of synthetic material imaginable and encrusted with fake jewels.

Though the skin may be the orangey plastic of the dozens of mannequins lining the walls, the dresses are worn every night by real Afghan brides. But the days when brides-to-be would flock to the shops of central Kabul’s Shar-e-Now Park may be numbered. Conservative elements of Hamid Karzai’s government are pushing for far-reaching restrictions on weddings the likes of which have not been seen since the Taliban regime.

Under a law proposed by the justice ministry and soon to be considered by Karzai’s cabinet, “garments contrary to Islamic sharia” will be banned. Shops selling “outfits that are semi-naked, naked, transparent, or tight in a way that reveals part of the woman’s body” will be fined and, if they persist, closed down.

Depraved religion: Police Officer interrogates a failed, injured 14-year old suicide bomber over massacre at a sufi shrine at Dera Ghazi Khan, Pakistan, in which 42 innocents died

They don’t call it extremism for nothing.

A teenage Pakistani suicide bomber who failed to blow up pilgrims at a shrine in Pakistan stunned his captors when he made clear how desperate he was to die for his cause.

“Let me go, I want to be a martyr,” 14-year-old Fida Hussain screamed as policemen led him away. “I want to send all you policemen to hell.” Read the rest of this entry »

Feeling the love of Islam: Children wade through the ruins of their school, blown up by the Taliban in January, 2009

And I’m a banana:

The Taliban have abandoned their opposition to female education in Afghanistan, the country’s education minister has claimed.

Farooq Wardak told the UK’s Times Educational Supplement a “cultural change” meant the Taliban were “no more opposing girls’ education”.

Under the Taliban regime, women in Afghanistan were not allowed to work or get an education.

Mr Wardak made his comments while in London for the Education World Forum. Read the rest of this entry »
