    Official: Militants kill Pakistani tribesman, son

    KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — A Pakistani official says Islamist militants crossed over from Afghanistan and shot dead an anti-Taliban tribal elder and his son in a northwestern tribal region.

    Tariq Khan says Afsar Khan and his son Sher Alam were standing guard at a border post manned by members of a citizens' militia in the Bajur tribal region when around 15 insurgents attacked them on Wednesday.

    Police official Fazal Rabbi says Afsar Khan had been among volunteers who had burned the homes of a militant faction some two months ago.

    The Pakistani army has fought militants in the tribal belt for years, but militants still mount attacks there. In recent months, several of the attacks have originated from across the porous border in Afghanistan.

      Porkees are converts and converts must never be trusted because they have grudge against non converts.

      The taliban in afganistan and pakistan are thought of by their countrymen as pious religious leaders who adhere to and practice sharia law. They are often the mullahs and tribal leaders who enforce their laws and are much loved and revered by their tribe members, men women and children. The american troops are seen as tortureing murdering infidels that need to be repelled from holy muslem soil.

      I am so appalled. The country's name means Holy Land. The common man there has suffered enough. The politicians and army brain washed almost every living creature on that land with vile, hate and misinformation and made them starve for food, shelter, clothing, decency and decent living.

      What will it take for the Pakistani leaders and army to say enough is enough with violence and shake hands with their enemies across the border and build a stronger country?

      Will we ever see that day or will all of them elite folks perish in greed and take down the common folks with them?

      ISLAM is, I am convinced, the Religion of Treachery and a Fountainhead of Violence where ever it is

        let follow the MAN ON THE STICK....
      • -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- ... 9 mths ago
        i am equally as convinced that CHRISTIANITY is the Religion of Treachery and a Fountainhead of Violence where ever it is. there is certainly equal evidence on both sides. so, i'm sure u will agree - you are entitled to your opinion and i am entitled to mine.
        have a happy armageddon. here's to the xtian prayer that every non-xtian will be consumed in the fire of a great war and spend eternity in hell for the sake of a loving jeebus.

        Oh, woman. There is a vast difference between ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY, did you not know this? ISLAM is, I am sorry to say,about endless jihad. To understand the connection between Islam and violence, one must understand certain facets of the Muslim worldview. One of the most important is the fact that, according to the historic Muslim understanding, there is no separation between religion and government—what in Christianity would be called the separation of church and state. I am not talking of the secularist idea that the state should marginalize religion - and discourage people from voting their consciences as Christians. We are talking about the idea that church and state are not the same thing and that they have different spheres of activity.

        First, Islam is NOT only a religion. It is also a political ideology. If the government of the Muslim community simply is God’s government, then NO other governments can be legitimate. They are all at war with God. As a result, Muslims have typically divided the world into two spheres, known as the Dar al-Islam—the "house of Islam" or "house of submission" to God—and the Dar al-Harb, or "house of war"—those who are at war with God.

        Second, it means that Muslims have believed themselves to have a "manifest destiny." Since God must win in the end, the Dar al-Harb must be brought under the control of Muslim government and made part of the Dar al-Islam.

        The truth is that Islam is not a religion of peace. "Islam means "submission" not "peace"...However, this is not to say that every Muslim is violent at heart. Many are not. Muslims have the same.aspirations for living peaceful lives that people have the world over. But they also have the same potential for violence as others, and Islam as a religion and an ideology seeks to exploit that potential. Though there are millions of Muslims who want peaceful relations with the West, millions who.aspire to live in free societies like America, there nevertheless remains a deep and powerful strain of violence within Islam, and it is important that Americans understand it.

        Like you and those reading this.

        Lastly, The fact that in Christianity church and state are distinct means that as a religion Christianity has LESS potential for violence since it is not called upon to use force in the way a state is. This, coupled with Jesus’ own example and his "love thy enemy" teachings (e.g., Matt. 5:44), gives Christianity less innate potential for violence.........................In contrast, ISLAM'S FOUNDER WAS A WARLORD who rose from nowhere and who by his death was the undisputed master of Arabia Peninsula. The holy book he produced is FILLED with commands to use violence in the service of its religion and nation. This potential for violence is similar to that possessed by Judaism except it is immensely augmented by the fact that Islam views itself, like Christianity, as a universal religion meant for all peoples in all countries. It also makes no distinction between church and state and is thus a political as well as religious ideology. As a result, Islam has been willing to employ violence on a massive scale, as illustrated by the first century of its existence, when the Islamic Empire exploded outward and conquered much of the known world.

        The conflict with militant Islam may last a long time—centuries, potentially—since even if curing Muslim society of its violent tendencies is possible, it would involve ripping out or otherwise neutralizing a tendency that has dominated Muslim culture since the days of its founder.

      One by one, these 7th century mongrels eliminate their opposition Al Capone gangland style. Until the elected government uses a scorched earth, take no prisoners, summary execution approach to combatting this disease called militant islam, they will surely lose their freedoms and their country.
