Tay - do you live in a mosque?

No.
Is that even allowed?

No doubt the Madrassa was not teaching what the Afghan considered appropriate material (ie: not radical enough or at all) and so he decided to blow it up.

and you have to take your shoes off in a Mosque, that's it! Exploding shoes!

With some of the unclean cretins on this board that would be a poison gas attack.

Oh, sorry, if it was one of our lot he'd have worn a bowler hat and carried a rolled up copy of the Telegraph under his arm.

How silly of me.

I actually found this pretty funny.

Politics aside... just the image of the guy walking in with the walk from Monty Python.. bowler hat and then cheerfully saying toodle pip as we walks out with an explosion going off in the back ground... I found amusing. I am a bad man

I had a lovely chicken madrassa last night - nice 'n' spicy.

Certainly felt like there was a bomb exploding this morning though.

Isn't it called Chicken Chennai now?

Powerful medicine though!

SA, it was a Madrassa...

Churchy,

Are you seriously implying that

a) Our armed forces are now bombing religious schools, presumably to kill Muslims when they're young; and

b) That you'd be happy and proud by this?

Btw, SAS, I hope to see you on Friday.

You'll be the guy fighting MobileCheese, I assume.
Look here and see what you've done:

Pakistan: Still Schooling Extremists

By Samina Ahmed and Andrew Stroehlein

Sunday, July 17, 2005; Page B07

Although investigations into the terrorist attacks in London are still at an early stage, it is already clear that at least one of the bombers attended a radical Islamic school, or madrasa, in Pakistan. For those in the West who believed President Pervez Musharraf's promises to clean up the militant religious schools, it is time to think again.

Shehzad Tanweer, who police say killed six people and himself on the Circle Line train near Aldgate station on July 7, recently spent as long as four months in a madrasa reportedly run by the avowedly militant group Lashkar-i-Taiba in Lahore, Pakistan. The madrasa and the organization operate freely despite an official ban on their activity since 2002.


Immediately after Sept. 11, 2001, the link between Pakistan's religious education system and international terrorist organizations came under intense scrutiny. Musharraf clearly felt the pressure to be seen as doing something, and in January 2002 he gave a televised speech promising a series of measures to combat extremism by, among other things, bringing all madrasas into the mainstream. Musharraf pledged increased oversight of the religious schools through formal registration, control of their funding and standardization of their curricula.

Btw, SAS, I hope to see you on Friday.

It says the bomb was planted by an Afghan. So if you are an Afghan the answer to your question is Yes.

This is a dim post even by your very considerable standards.

Bomb explodes at Pakistani Madrassa - 6 dead!

Could this be the start of our fight back?
