The product of religious education in a Pakistan madrassa:

A would-be suicide bomber aged 11 has been arrested alongside Taliban fighters.

Known only as Abdullah, the youngster was caught crossing the mountains from Pakistan’s tribal region into Afghanistan wearing a jacket packed with explosives.

Police say he is the youngest terror recruit they have ever come across. Abdullah has also become Afghanistan’s youngest prisoner but he is still being held at a top security prison in the capital, Kabul.

Originally from Peshawar in Pakistan, Abudullah was training to be a suicide bomber and had learned the principles of jihad – holy war – at the religious school in Pakistan where he was taught.

Mr Neely said Abdullah’s days were spent reading the Koran and his evenings were taken up learning how to load weapons and how foreigners came to Muslim lands to kill them.

Abdullah’s younger brother Amin, 10, is also a student at the same school.

It is not yet clear what authorities will do with the boy but it is likely he will be returned back to his religious school.

That last sentence is rather startling.

Occasionally, a sufficiently serious religious news item appears that I find it necessary to eschew irony in order to assess, in a serious and sober way, the exigent theological quodlibet.

Today, we are looking at the tendency of man, in this post-Christian era, to be attracted to donkeys. It may not have occurred to you, but it has occurred to the burrophobic, Anjem Choudary:

He said: ‘If a man likes another man, it can happen, but if you go on to fulfil your desire, if it is proved, then there is a punishment to follow. You don’t stone to death unless there are four eyewitnesses. It is a very stringent procedure.

‘There are some people who are attracted to donkeys but that does not mean it is right.’

Anjem Choudary advocates stoning homosexuals caught in the act – but only if they happen to be observed in flagrante by four people; personally, I would simply make the coupling paramours pay for psychiatric counselling for the onlookers to help them cope with the trauma.

What is missing from all this, is the penalty for the donkey lovers.

The Civil Rights Coordinator of CAIR recommends the Muslim Sex Shop among other things:

CAIR-California’s Affad Shaikh is a rebel Islamist. While he performs the normal extremist activities, like obsess over Israel, rail against American troops, and defend militant Islamic groups overseas, he also does many things that could be considered unbecoming of a CAIR leader, at least by CAIR’s disjointed standards of conduct. Yet the group still keeps him on board.

On October 24, 2008, Shaikh wrote of his fondness of a blog which goes by the name Muslim Sex Shop. On his own blog, he stated, “Here I was cooking Macaroni [sic] Bashamel, for a friend, who wanted to get some of my good grubbing, when low and behold someone out in the cyber world sent over a link to the ‘Muslim Sex Shop.’  This American Muslim highly recommends that you visit it.”

And this:

On February 3, 2009, Shaikh discussed the possibility of legalizing prostitution and pot. He wrote, “Thinking creatively might for some mean legalizing some sin taxes – like Nevada, our brothel oriented neighbor – and even things like marijuana. If it works lets take a look at it seriously…”

The Muslim Sex Shop eloquently suggests, Now That Ramadan Is Over, You Can Do It In The Daytime and I expect Affad Shaikh does. Of course, when he has sex and gets stoned, it is a little different from the 13 year-old girl who was stoned because she was raped in Somalia, an Islamist hell masquerading as a country.

Would Harry get past the Islamic Gestapo if we renamed him Muhammad Potter? Could the religion of peace bear it?

Some Muslim schools ‘make children despise the West’: Ban on cricket and Harry Potter

Some Islamic schools are promoting fundamentalist views and encouraging children to despise Western society, a report warns.

An investigation by the Civitas social policy think-tank found websites of some of the UK’s 166 Muslim schools are spreading extreme teachings, while a handful had links to sites promoting jihad, or holy war.

Examples include web forums forbidding Muslims from reading Harry Potter books, playing chess or cricket and listening to Western music.

In my early school-days, Lady Chatterley’s Lover was a banned book. As soon as the obscenity trial was over (E. M. Forster and his elite literary cronies had no idea what they were unleashing) and it became freely available, I saved up my pocket money and bought a copy. Naturally, along with thousands of other schoolboys whose hormones were out of control, I read it for its literary merit.

Thinking about it now, it is quite obvious that it doesn’t have much literary merit. And that brings me to Harry Potter: literary merit or not, I read the whole series with enjoyment.

I have a strong suspicion that J. K. Rowling has paid Muslims to ban Harry Potter in an attempt to increase sales.

Muslim nut-case Anjem Choudary has called for people who get drunk to be flogged:

The lawyer, who recently praised the Mumbai terror attacks, said anyone becoming intoxicated by alcohol should be given 40 lashes in public. He claimed alcohol was “the root of all evil”.

The 41-year-old made the remarks on his website Islam4UK, which argues that Britain should become an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law.

But he does have a few vices of his own, it seems:

According to media reports published in 2006, student friends say he called himself “Andy”, drank alcohol, indulged in casual sex, smoked cannabis and even took LSD.

And, in spite of the casual sex, he also doesn’t much like Valentine’s day:

BONKERS hate preacher Anjem Choudary has warned Brit lovers that if they celebrate Valentine’s Day they will rot in Hell.

Naturally, he hates Christmas:

The 41-year-old shocked Christians and even those of his own faith by branding yuletide festivities as “the pathway to hellfire”.

Anjem seems to be determined to create an Islamic dystopia; one in which he alone is free to indulge in  alcohol, pot,  casual sex,  LSD –  and Christmas.

First start your own TV program that shows Muslims in a positive light.

Second decapitate your wife.

Mission accomplished.

Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife.

Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband – an influential member of the local Muslim community – reported her death to police Thursday.

The only question left to ponder is, how long will it be before Rowan Williams uses this as a fine example of how Muslims settle family disputes.
