(and it is possible that they have the ability to perform blackmagic,because they seek help from shaytan and yet shaytan tells them to live in impurity (dirt and trash).


I was thinking about what if someone is killed and thrown in the river no one will suspect anything.

[Karachi]

disgusting!

any ways the indus one is probably some random guy who died there

The black magic video is really disturbing. In south asia, unfortunately there are lot of people who practice black magic, even in pakistan. It's the influence of pagan cultures that are still practiced there, a lot of villagers and poor people dont have any idea of what Islam is, that's why they still practice their old ways

The spread of Blackmagic is widely reported,its roots goes back to the times of Suleiman (aleyh salatuwasalam).

And i do not doubt the existence and the effects of it yes it does have effects on those who are bewitched.

I prefer to be silent or i will say something very bad *shanti*

[asad71]

Disgusting. Would depress any human being.

[faye]

probably just as gross to see family members searching for their childrens, parents or siblings bloody body parts, after they have been blown to bits by a suicide bomber in a marketplace or wherever. what ya reckon, 2010?

[Afghanistan2010]

Yes but they are forced to fight,they are being killed and they have to kill enemy combatants to survive,here they are not forced and i can assure you he who has been prepared by US and its allies and forced is able to carry out such acts.

If they are enemy combatants,i do not have mercy with them.

[faye]

2010, a little bit of self reflection, wouldn't go astray, my friend. you have to look at the outcomes of actions you approve of instead of deflecting, by pointing out the faults of everyone else.
how is blowing up areas where innocent people, their own people, will be harmed or killed, constructive? those innocents have families, who are possibly very poor. wives being left with children to care for, mothers and fathers losing children or family members. this excuse of...it's all everyone elses fault.. is total rubbish.

Mentally Retarded Women Used in Bombings

BAGHDAD (AP) - Two mentally retarded women strapped with remote-control explosives— and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers—brought carnage Friday to two pet bazaars, killing at 73 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring.
The coordinated blasts—coming 20 minutes apart in different parts of the city—appeared to reinforce U.S. claims al-Qaida in Iraq may be increasingly desperate and running short of able-bodied men willing or available for such missions.

But they also served as a reminder that Iraqi insurgents are constantly shifting their strategies in attempts to unravel recent security gains around the country. Women have been used in ever greater frequency in suicide attacks.
The twin attacks at the pet markets, however, could mark a disturbing use of unknowing agents of death.
Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, Iraq's chief military spokesman in Baghdad, said the women had Down syndrome and may not have known they were on suicide missions. He said the bombs were detonated by remote control.
In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the bombings prove al-Qaida is "the most brutal and bankrupt of movements" and will strengthen Iraqi resolve to reject terrorism.
The first bomb was detonated about 10:20 a.m. in the central al-Ghazl market, the home of a weekly pet bazaar with various small animals but mostly birds. At least 46 people were killed and more than 100 wounded, said police and hospital officials.
Police said the woman wearing the bomb sold cream in the mornings at the market and was known to locals as "the crazy lady."
The pet bazaar has been bombed repeatedly, but with violence declining in the capital, the market had regained popularity as a shopping district and place to stroll on Fridays, the Muslim day of prayer.
But on Friday, it was returned to a scene straight out of the worst days of the conflict. Firefighters scooped up debris scattered among pools of blood, clothing and pigeon carcasses.
A pigeon vendor said the market had been unusually crowded, with people taking advantage of a pleasantly crisp and clear winter day after a particularly harsh January.
"I have been going to the pet market with my friend every Friday, selling and buying pigeons," said Ali Ahmed, who was hit by shrapnel in his legs and chest. "It was nice weather today and the market was so crowded."
He said he was worried about his friend, Zaki, who disappeared after the blast about 40 yards away.
"I just remember the horrible scene of the bodies of dead and wounded people mixed with the blood of animals and birds, then I found myself lying in a hospital bed," Ali said.
About 20 minutes after the first attack, the second female suicide bomber was blown apart in a bird market in a predominantly Shiite area in southeastern Baghdad. As many as 27 people died and 67 were wounded, police and hospital officials said.
Rae Muhsin, the 21-year-old owner of a cell phone store, said he was walking toward the New Baghdad bird market when the explosion shattered the windows of nearby stores.
"I ran toward the bird market and saw charred pieces of flesh, small spots of blood and several damaged cars," Muhsin said. "I thought that we had achieved real security in Baghdad, but it turned that we were wrong."
The bombings were the latest in a series that has frayed Iraqi confidence in the permanence of recent security gains.
The U.S. military in Iraqi issued a statement that shared "the outrage of the Iraqi people, and we condemn the brutal enemy responsible for these attacks, which bear the hallmarks of being carried out by al- Qaida in Iraq."
The U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, said the bombings showed that a resilient al-Qaida has "found a different, deadly way" to try to destabilize Iraq.
"There is nothing they won't do if they think it will work in creating carnage and the political fallout that comes from that," he told The Associated Press in an interview at the State Department.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said the attacks were motivated by revenge and an attempt "to stop the march of history and of our people toward reconciliation." He confirmed the death toll was about 70.
Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye, a U.S. military spokesman, gave far lower casualty figures—seven killed and 23 wounded in the first bombing, and 20 killed and 30 wounded in the second.
He confirmed, however, that both attacks were carried out by women wearing explosives vests and said the attacks appeared coordinated and likely the work of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Associated Press records show that since the start of the war at least 151 people have been killed in at least 17 attacks or attempted attacks by female suicide bombers, including Friday's bombings.
The most recent previous attack was Jan. 16 when a female suicide bomber detonated her explosives among men preparing for the Ashoura holiday in a Shiite village in Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad.
While involving women in such deadly activity violates cultural taboos in Iraq, the U.S. military has warned that al-Qaida is recruiting women and young people as suicide attackers because militants are increasingly desperate to thwart stepped-up security measures.
Syria also has reportedly tightened its border with Iraq, a main transit point for incoming foreign bombers.
Women in Iraq often wear abayas, the black Islamic robe, and avoid thorough searches at checkpoints because men are not allowed to touch them and there are too few female police.
Even the use of the handicapped in suicide bombings is not unprecedented in Iraq. In January 2005, Iraq's interior minister said insurgents used a disabled child in a suicide attack on election day. Police at the scene of the bombing said the child appeared to have Down syndrome.
Many teenage boys were among the casualties in the al-Ghazl bombing Friday, according to the officials who gave the death toll. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
In Late November, a bomb hidden in a box of small birds exploded at the al-Ghazl market, killing at least 15 people and wounding dozens. The U.S. military blamed the November attack on Iranian-backed Shiite militants, saying they had hoped al-Qaida in Iraq would be held responsible for the attack so Iraqis would turn to them for protection.
The U.S. military has been unable to stop the suicide bombings despite a steep drop in violence in the past six months. Friday's blasts were the deadliest in the capital since an April 18 suicide car bombing that killed 116 and wounded 145. Washington's "surge" of an additional 30,000 soldiers into Baghdad and other parts of central Iraq began in February, but did not reach full strength until June.

These are attacks carried out by U.S forces.

Never will a muslim ever attack innocents and non combatants who does not participate in any kind of hostile action against other muslims.

when i was in india, i went and bathed in the ganges. you know, 'when in rome do as the romans'.... any way, i was on the far side of the river at varanasi, a bit downstream from a group of bathing indians, and in i went, in a sarong with my soap and shampoo. well, this half body, wrapped in cloth came floating towards me.... well, i can tell you, i was out of that water sooooo fast.
dolphin live in the ganges too. they are a special ganges breed of dolphin. i thought i was imagining things when i saw them as it was a long way from the ocean.
real life is an amazing adventure 2010. much better than just looking at pictures of life (and death)

[Afghanistan2010]

Explained,your hatred for this thread is very obvious

[faye]

2010, i realise that you think the computer is the real world but so far as i know, smells don't transmit through the screen, so if you are having an issue with smells perhaps your back is too short or you need to air yourself, dear.

Gangetic Dolphins along with the Indus Dolphins are a fast declining species. Most of the latter are found in Pakistan though with small numbers found in India at the confluence of Beas and Satluj rivers at Harike.

thanks khalsa. i never knew about the indus dolphin but i just read up on them. fascinating, but as you say, endangered. we humans are a messy species, polluting everywhere.
