Illegal Radio Stations Spew Muslim Hatred

(Karachi, Pakistan) The Taliban and al-Qaeda are backers of illegal FM radio stations which can reach out to a radius of 10 miles in the mountainous regions of Pakistan. Frequently, they are mobile units.

From DNAIndia.com:

Illegal radio stations in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province were preaching religious militancy and sectarian hatred, a senior official said on Monday.

Scores of illegal FM stations are broadcasting in NWFP and in the restive, semi-autonomous tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, and some have been accused of fanning violence.

"We are taking this issue very seriously. Because some stations are creating problems with their hate material which promotes violence," said Gul Bacha Wazir, the provincial interior secretary.

This year at least 26 people have been killed in clashes between factions led by Muslim clerics in a tribal area after one of the clerics used a radio station to incite his followers to attack families loyal to a rival.

One of the drawbacks to fostering irrational hatred among populations is that it has to be done continuously. The people have to be inculcated every day to hate. Consequently, Muslims around the world are reminded incessantly who their enemies are, the Jews and the Americans. It should be expected that the hate mongers would use every source of media available.

It's a guess but I'd speculate that a large portion of the world's Muslim population has never seen nor met a Jewish person. Nonetheless, they are taught to hate them daily.

3 The constant need to re-inforce hatred in Afghanistan and Iraq is proof in itself that left alone, these people will get on with the business of living their lives instead of devising ways to kill their neighbors. Because the fact is that there are so few Jews and Christians in their midst they have to invent some conspiracy perpetrated by their fellow Muslims to fraternize with the "unclean". Lord knows they kill far more Muslims than their perceived enemies.

4 Good point Oyster, but actually, the people of this region have always passed their time by rape and pillage of their neighbors, and if they stopped hating the Jews, they'd go back to stealing goats and murdering one another on a daily basis.

They bloody breed like bacteria so lets give

7 Practice indeed is what I need! Especially to keep up with the likes of Maxie! Maxie makes me look like a clown in a 3-ring circus...

You use reference to maxie as a "foil" - that's like working with a net - not good boy! Stand up is stand alone - you fly or fall on your own.

Reference clown - again the "foil" - doesn't work.

Now - if you want to be a clown - that's cool - but clowns usually have non-speaking/non-writing roles - this is a blog - not Etch A Stetch.
