THOSE LOVABLE TALIBAN

Next time some leftwingnut compares President Bush or any Republican to the Taliban, toss them this story:

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The ousted hardline Taliban militia has threatened to kill Afghan women working for foreign non-government organizations, a Pakistan-based Afghan news agency said on Friday.

In a pamphlet to authorities and residents of eastern Laghman province, the Taliban said a jihad, or holy war, against American forces in Afghanistan was the duty of every Muslim.

It also warned Afghan drivers against carrying foreigners and their belongings on highways.

"Those women who are working with foreign NGOs will definitely suffer punishment of death," AIP quoted the recently distributed pamphlet as saying.

Nice guys--calling for jihadis to kill women working for charities. Real galant, these fascists.

And then there's these clowns:

Separately, another group calling itself Fedayeen-e-Islam ("those willing to give their lives for Islam") warned that it would target Islamic clerics who supported the U.S.-backed Afghan government, AIP reported.

The group sent a letter to newspapers in Peshawar, capital of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan, urging the clerics to seek forgiveness from the Afghan people or be prepared for attacks.

Maybe we should start calling our Special Forces "Those willing to assist those willing to give their lives for Islam."

(btw, Miss Afghanistan's a cutie)
