The Taliban flogging in Swat Valley
A 17-year-old girl was publicly flogged by the Taliban in Pakistan’s Swat Valley (yes, really) after a neighbor accused her of adultery. Her brother held her down as the Muslim adultery police whipped her. A crowd stood by, watching silencing, as she screamed face down in the dirt. The stone-age sharia worshipers passed video of the beating around on their…mobile phones. Indeed, the Taliban is so proud of its handiwork that they’ve been contacting Western media to spread the word.
Reached by phone, Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan claimed responsibility for the flogging. “She came out of her house with another guy who was not her husband, so we must punish her. There are boundaries you cannot cross,” he said. He defended the Taliban’s right to thrash women shoppers who were inappropriately dressed, saying it was permitted under Islamic law.
What’s Khan’s phone number? 1-800-FLOG4ALLAH?

Coming to a city near you. Sharia law.
Was this in Detroit? Where’s the ACLU when we need them?
These are the moderate taliban hillary wants to talk to. The extreme ones would have shot her.
Perhaps she’s trying to arrange a diplomatic “visit” for a certain woman named Monica?
Ah yes, another offering from the religion of peace.
Oh, by all means let’s have a more serious discussion on the religion of peace. Let’s make sure to allow them all their religious and social customs because, after all, we are a tolerant and diverse country. Let’s also make sure we keep Christian pastors in jail for walking on the sidewalk with signs that Jesus loves you. After all, protesting in front of an abortion factory is intolerant because someone might actually not kill their baby.
God help us all!
No Sonofdy, they would not have SHOT her, they would have hacked her head off with a dull kitchen knife, starting in the front of the neck so she would gurgle and scream for 5 minutes.
Must See Taliban TV ™.
/sarc off (for the libtards in the room who don’t know the difference between reality and sarcasm)
Well, as we all know any time a woman comes out of a house, with a man, who is not her husband….it obviously means they have been having sex.
Third world Barbarians. Where are all the liberals and feminists who believe in womens’ rights? Their silence, as usual,IS DEAFENING.
I bet those guys enjoyed every minute of it.
Ummm, what happened to the guy?
Taliban S&M version 2.3
I actually have no problem with public flogging and would love to see it here in the good old USA. The issue I have is the reason this poor women was flogged. What she did certainly does not deserve the punishment.
Public flogging should be reserved for people that bankrupt the country and shred the values this once great country was built upon, ie 90% of the a$$hats in DC.
These are the moderate Taliban that Hillary wants to engage. The hard corps ones would have shot the girl in the head.
There are times when carpet bombing is preferred to preceision guided munitions.
anyone and I mean anyone who defends Islam is an ignorant naive fool and , by association my enemy. How does this not pass the scrutiny of NOW, Code Pink and the usual liberal ilk?
Perhaps she’s trying to arrange a diplomatic “visit” for a certain woman named Monica?
Nice one Salty!
He got to hold her down, probably…
Like the cleric in Iran who was caught on videotape committing adultery; it’s those out of control women who, must be punished. It’s never the guys fault. Like the rape victim in Saudi who got a more severe sentence than the gang-rapists.
WOW, sonofdy, I did not mean to plagarize.
Great minds think alike.
I have to get off the blogs today. They are really putting me in a bad mood.
flyoverman: Agreed, I was thinking of the women shot in afganistan.
Cave dwelling throwbacks with ak-47′s. What could go wrong?
These are the people before which Obama likes to bow. Bow, Obama, bow. While you’re down there, why don’t you lick some nice Taliban boot? Bow, Obama, bow.
Or the 78 year old also, in Saudi who the court’s decree must be flogged because her nephew and a male friend of his delivered bread to her. The fear of Muslim men of the power of a woman…amazing.
He then excused himself, saying that he had a whole herd of goats to molest.
Yet, these same Muslims are so shocked at the torture of water-boarding? Maybe we should have been flogging the tar out of them in Gitmo instead. I’d support that move.
Nothing that a windless night and fuel air explosives can’t solve.
PAKISTAN only has PAKISTAN to blame… They have ignored the PROBLEM coming over their BORDERS for years… HMMMMM, did I just describe PAKISTAN, or was that a description of AMERICA???
And did Obama giggle and smile as usual?
Imagine if Michelle-O being asked to lie down & take that because of the way she was dressed or some other equally ridiculous claim…
(neck roll) O. No. U. Did-unt.
Yet another Moderate Taliban looking out for the sanctity and well bneing of the female population.
Hey Hill-Dawg…just how do you think the Taliban feel about YOU and the way YOU act? Do you really think that these Flintstones’ rejects would give you the slightest bit of respect, let alone take anything you say seriously?
Is there anyone here that does not have a mental image of what the Taliban did and said in response to Hill-Dawg’s “olive branch”?
Swatted in Swat!
After all, without music or movies, they need some entertainment.
Whatever happened to stoning? I’ll lay a wager the swatter was stoned.
Oh, they took the olive branch. They are saving it with the rest of the yellow coward appeaser branches to beat her with when the time comes.
7th century animals – I wish there was a way to drop every MOAB in the arsenal on the entire mountain range. Problem solved.
“Reached by phone, Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan claimed responsibility for the flogging. “She came out of her house with another guy who was not her husband, so we must punish her. There are boundaries you cannot cross,” he said. ”
Later that day Khan said: “Oops! Our bad! It appears that the man was just the telephone repair service!”
The religion of violent death.
I’d rather listen to Jesus Christ:
It wasn’t that she was coming our of the house with a man, the main point is that she purposely revealed a small bare section of her ankle thus proving she was a trollop.
ya’ll are just intolerant we should learn to listen (to the screams) of others, and not impose our values upon them.
its racist to think that our way of life is better than theirs..
this tolerance is of course, the suicide of the west…
Let he who is without sin. Interesting. Since we all know no one is perfect, I wonder if the Talibanis actually live a life without violating any of the rules of Islam. If they do, that would be commendable but methinks they all have skeletons in their closet.
Of course for those guys, they could be real skeletons of people they killed and hung up to send a message.
I’ll bet they don’t confess their sins to their leaders!
I am a woman and abhor Sharia law. ALL of my liberal, feminist associates have nothing to say when they see and hear of the atrocities committed against women in muslim countries. They are hypocrites of the highest order! And, now I have to hear about Michelle O’s campaign for women’s rights…yeah, sure. How’s that working out for you, Micky O?
Later that day Khan said: “Oops! Our bad! Apparently the man was from the telephone repair service!”
The taliban without sin? Hardly. Almost all the prostitutes they put to death in Afganistan were “know” quite well by the taliban who executed them.
When will topless Code Pink operatives arrive to rescue this woman from the Taliban?
Or… when will a band of liberals be on site there to save the day?
A date and time please. Liberals? Please respond. Hello?
I took pride my whole life in not being prejudicial. But islam with the evil prophet mohammad (PissBUH and may he burn in hell forever) changed that as I learned the true nature of islam. That ideology must be scourged from the face of the earth if the human race is to survive. I know now it is okay, that it is our duty to hate a religion that wants to subjugate and murder the rest of us.
From a conscience perspective, savages are easier to kill than fellow human beings. Keep it up moderate-Islam, when the time comes, your present behavior will only facilitate our Righteous Crusade.
If we could do this to car thieves and other nuisance criminals in this country, I don’t know that I would oppose it.
However, I would require more evidence than verbal accusation.
The fact that her brother held her down rather than setting her on fire is proof that they are becoming more tolerant and caring for their women folk. Are we sure this took place in Pakistan and not Londonistan? I say that because the English Muslims are more moderate in their thinking. /sarc
In a more backwards part of islam, her mother would have held her down while her brother and father stabbed her multiple times (after throwing acid on her face)for bringing dishonor to the family. There is hope for these people.
Ann Coulter prescribed the proper response to this years ago: give these people an opportunity to convert or dispatch them to Hell. How can civilized society give these people any quarter? Theirs is a culture that is primitive and prehistoric. That they get to muck up the world at all is evidence of the wrong-headedness and debilitating sensibilities of Western culture.
So Der Fuhrer has figured out that Al Qaeda is actually planning to hit the U.S. again. Did he not get the memo from his minions that tells how there really is no Al Qaeda, how it was all just President bush and the other Skull and Bones people pretending to be Muslims? Did he not get the memo from the Liberals who put him in office that there is no War on Terror, that there is no Terroist Threat?
And why is he the only one who didn’t know that they have been plotting for years to attack us? What did he think UBL’s “Declaration of War” meant when he sent it back in 1998? Is he surprised by this? Is this really supposed to come as a shock as well to the rest of us? Did he not get briefed on all the other attempts that were stopped by the Bush Administration?
And what about this Taliban he thinks have “moderate” members? They just came out and declared that there is a truly spectacular attack against Washington D.C. that will occur very soon. Is that the “olive branch” that Hill-Dawg extended at work?
How will Der Fuhrer respond? Should the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or some other 7th Century Jihadist organization end up attacking and leveling a decent portion of Washington D.C., how will Der Fuhrer respond? Will he finally state that he is finished molly-coddling these cave dwellers and finish this once and for all, claiming that collateral damage is bound to occur, but that the loss of the few outweighs the safety and security of the many? Or will he Bill Clinton/Jimmy Carter the whole things and continue to claim that they are bad people and if they don’t stop they will be called bad people with more stringent terms?
Are there really people who feel safer knowing that this buffoon is all that we have in terms of keeping this country free and safe?
“This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.”
As a white, male, law-abiding self-employed gun owner and taxpayer, I feel responsible for this. I’ll try to do better in the future.
On some Chicago area buses they have an ad for those who have questions about islam. I said to my husband that I did have questions-like why was islam so backwards and bloodthirsty?
There’s a book out called “Daughters of another Path” that’s about women who chose to become muslim.
The majority of those peofiled say that islam is “liberating”.
If islam is liberating-I’ll stay enslaved.
WTF?
YouTube censorship strikes again.
We don’t want to embarass the Taliban so the video gets removed.
Typicle left wing youtube/google crap.
Yup. Youtub(e) does not want you to know the truth.
I see they left the filthy-cent video up.
Sorry Fireman, a hit on the US will be our fault. Of course, when I say our, I mean the previous administration will be the fault.
The Muslims are only reacting to the last eight years of failed policies.
That is the mantra from Obama and his cohorts in Congress. They spew that crap every day so it becomes part of the consciousness.
It is usually the first words out of Obamas mouth when he speaks. Of course, followed by the “we must work together mantra”. Read “you must do as I say”.
They have learned from the Alinsky rulebook how to polarize their target and they have willing accomplices in the media to faciliate that.
Of course. Video abuse. I trying hard to figure out how watching a video can be abuse.
Oh yeah. I might get the truth about the moderate Taliban . Besides I need someone to pick what I watch since I might make up my own mind about it. The next thing will probably be to restrict viewing these cowards strapping explosives on their women and children.
I forgot. They won’t show that either.
I understand though. Obviously beating this poor girl in public is all right with liberal apologist because it is not right to pass judgment on what are cultural events and do not rise to the level of a Man Made Disaster.
Fixed it.

Women in the benighted Islam Sharia Law countries should band together and form a vigilante avenger sisterhood to pay back the torturers.
***
Teach them to shoot and arm the women. No need to learn how to flog people–a quick burst from an AK-47 should do the payback nicely.
***
After the guy with the whip and the two holding down the girl are shot the next guy will think twice before picking up the whip.
***
Same for “honor” killings. Make it clear that what goes around will come around–in bullets. One hundred secret terrorist ladies could clean out a lot of corrupt police, corrupt politicians, and evil family members. A burka can conceal a gun pretty well.

Sock it to them!

Yeah, Bush was evil. Morons.
Explain to me again why any woman would vote for Obama? Oh yeah, his tight pants…
Yes, I am saying Obama is a friend of Islam.
Those that do are ignorant fools?
No doubt about that, as evidenced by his ridiculous bow before his King…. as compared with the way he showed disrespect for the leaders of the UK.
This works for now – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4cDVQNOoPU
prendad–thanks. I think the term ‘trollop’ is underused. As is ‘slattern’.
awww…the religion of peace
I’m sure that they would stop this barbaric behavior if we would give them some money.
Ya know…. how about we bring them over here to Hollywood, Seattle or San Francisco for a few days and just turn our backs for a while…
I’m very tolerant of religeous expression, but I’m just cool like that.
Of course they would. They would get more effective whips.
Hello? Code Pink? Rosie O’Donnell? Any other feminists?
{crickets}
Because McCain won’t live through the term and Sarah Palin just doesn’t have enough experience.
Yes, a woman I know actually gave me that answer.

Yeah, and some of them are called code pink. They were on tv last night sharing their “wisdom” that we should only have peacekeepers in Afghanistan, not combat troops. I agree. We should target that area which shares Pakistan and Afghanistan, the tribal headquarters of the taliban, and drop several “peacekeepers” in there to fix the problem, preferably the 5 megaton types.
Is there a mirror of this video? This will surely be removed from YouTube within 24 hours…
Ahh excellent. Thanks!
Liberals will never get it. They always have excuses and apologies. I was reading the comments made by people in a British blog, many of them were going on and on about how this is not real Islam and you can’t hold Islam responsible for this. These are the people who not only will not defend themselves, will do everything to stand in the way of people who would defend them. Liberalism is just another word for suicide.
Scary. In my mind’s eye I see Sarah in a helicopter drawing a bead on some Taliban a$$hole…
Something funny to end my day with.
Not a very funny thread though. Animals. No, worse than animals
The video was removed because it wasn’t a Christian woman being whipped.
Any “foreign aid” to this region ought to be confined strictly to supplying WOMEN ONLY with Glock 9mm for personal protection against these sick degenerates. These 6th century psychopaths will NEVER be able to adjust to 21st century social morays. Kill ‘em all.
I take it that they’ve signed up and are ready to put their money where their mouths are?
The Taliban Empire releases it’s first movie, titled…
“The Empire Strikes Butt!”
Years ago in response to the tragedy in Somalia with the warlords’ “technicals” terrorizing people and taking food from starving families, Col. Jeff Cooper suggested providing every mother in the refugee camps with a H&R single shot 12 gauge shotgun and a box of #4 buckshot. He figured that if “technicals” started getting ventilated by moms defending their children’s food, it would cut down on terrorism.
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!!

Kind of ironic that the location was named “Swat Valley”…
The next time any of you Western female journalists/reporters decide to don the “headgear” for a report out of an Islamic country, think about this video and the message you’re sending by putting on that black scarf.
Consider that your putting on that scarf is a show of deference to a system that treats women like chattel and perpetuates their societal practice of reducing all females to second class status.
“Invade their country, grab their oil and convert them all to Christian”….
Ann Coulter
*We must never forget that we are dealing with a 7th century invented religion of death cult savages; If we value our freedom, then you must know, it is us or them.
Was this girl flogged for being outside, in public with a man not her husband or relative, or was it for being with him at all? These barbarians consider a woman to be guilty of adultery for simply being in the presence of an unrelated man? Ann Coulter was right, we need to invade and occupy the whole region, take possession of their oil and convert them all to Christianity. Good grief this was horrible to watch.
Because, after all, that is how insecure men think.
Hmm… Fake waterboarding videos are ok on YouTube… but real attrocities like this flogging are removed?
I wonder how many brave Taliban “men” it took to hold down this girl? No doubt a lot of goats “got some” that night.
Obambi better marshal his Harvard Law Review skills and file a cease and desist action against the Taliban.
That’ll show ‘em!

comment 1 was the most cogent: coming to a city near you! the parable of the scorpion seeking to ride the frogs back across the flooded river comes to mind. will our bleeding hearts never acknowledge that there is evil in this world, and it wants to procreate.
Where’s the outrage about human rights abuses from traitor Jane Fonda, all of the liberal women so-called journalists like Couric, Madonna, Cher, and all the rest of that scummy ilk. I am sick of these so-called defenders of women’s rights remaining silent or even defending sharia law. Piss on all of them!
We’ve been saying this all along. Only Obama and his nitwits believe the Muslims are shocked by water-boarding!
