MSNBC: The Taliban are known to beat people in areas they control if they are suspected of criminal acts, spying or violating the militants' ultra-strict interpretation of Islamic law.

What a ridiculous headline – is this a joke? How do you know he isn’t being beaten like the rest for violating women? Funny how you can “spin” things. Two were rapists and the other a thief. Put it that way and most of Americans actually CHEER.

Because the Taliban are animals, really quite simple Nuke them all!!1

Makes me glad to know that the Obama Admin (and the Pentagon) are working on “buying off” the Taliban in Afghanistan for a half a billion bucks.

and?   February 6th, 2010 - 4:15 pm

i got no problem with beating criminals, better than putting up in hotels (I mean jails) at tax payer expense, but where does it say this was over facial hair?

Well, that is what interventionist policy is about. Big payoffs to the military industrial complex and Israel. Lots of money being shuffled around. Middle class disappearing.

Did I see Obama in that crowd? Well, anyway, just another snippet, exposing the tolerance of Muslims. Brave men beating a boy. You keep taking these inbred Islamic dolts in America, you’ll see more of this sort of thing here. We’re already getting Shira style “honor” killings. Best thing we or anyone else could do is leave the Islamic hoards to themselves. Should they breach our lives, then pound them into the dust they deserve to be.

Huh, The redneck cowboys in Texas used to beat me up in the early 70’s because I HAD a beard. Isn’t that something?

PM   February 6th, 2010 - 5:14 pm

“Praise God, I have a beard, now LALALALALALA KABOOM.” Their priorities are so distorted. They belong in a zoo with all the other exotic animals.

Such a peaceful religion . . .

ISLAM=TALIBAN

ISLAM= ENEMY

TRUTH or FICTION

The Bubster   February 6th, 2010 - 5:47 pm

These Taliban cretins should be rounded up and forced to wipe their butts with pages from the Koran.

abidingdude   February 6th, 2010 - 5:48 pm

They need killin’. Somebody help me find my time machine. We;ll get Gen. Sherman to open a can on ‘em.

bitterweed   February 6th, 2010 - 5:59 pm

Everytime I see news of these imbeciles..no one’s working..they rioting, beating, killing, bombing..but never working. Who’s feeding these pigs?

iconoclastKM   February 6th, 2010 - 6:32 pm

These Taliban scumbags need to be DEAD!

Think of where they place women in their 7th century “society”!

Steve in Phoenix   February 6th, 2010 - 7:01 pm

I promise I will buy health insurance I promise. I see from this video that the taliban have reformed and are much nicer, that is why The President is considering negotiating his withdrawal from afganistan with the taliban. They promised him peace. Why wait Mr President. If you are going to negotiate with them why wait till they kill anymore or our boys. Every US soldier that dies from here on in is on your head from the moment you introduced the idea of negotiating with the Taliban. It is your war now. I will never forgive you if you let anymore of our soldiers die and then Negotiate with the Taliban. We have an all volunteer Army you are playing your deadly games with Mr president. Sh*t or get of the pot Mr President.. Pull the troups out or exterminate the f**king Taliba.

I would take that guy’s rope and wrap it around his neck if he tried that with me.

Nice to see the media, especially NBC, finally reporting on this crap. They never did when Bush was in office. They were all innocent people when Bush was around. Now they’ll be ok with whatever NObama does.

dumbguyneocon   February 6th, 2010 - 8:41 pm

this type of justice is what the MSNBC “network” supports.

by supporting fill-in “president” Obomba they promote the

murderous agenda of these disgusting animals…

with us? or with the terrorists…

Waffen SS   February 6th, 2010 - 8:47 pm

This is part of what the brave men and women in thour and our allies armed services are fighting for besides keeping us safe at home!!

H2K   February 6th, 2010 - 9:38 pm

What’s the complaint? These seem like some reasonable people to negotiate with. I’m sure we can find some common ground with the Taliban.
Go Obama Go! I can tell already that finally all the other countries like us much better now that Obama is our negotiator-in-chief.
/sarc off

Argyle   February 6th, 2010 - 10:47 pm

Rahm Emanuel is looking at this video right this second saying to himself, “We need to do that to anyone who isn’t a committed Obamunist!”

Acmed   February 6th, 2010 - 10:50 pm

If it’s fair for the Taliban to whip criminals in public, then it would be fair for Americans to have NYPD thrash Aafia Siddiqui in Time Square.

Mike B   February 6th, 2010 - 11:18 pm

Someone should remix this video with the Devo song “WHIP IT”

and?   February 6th, 2010 - 11:30 pm

acmed, that would be great.

iconoclastKM   February 7th, 2010 - 12:07 am

Muslims have NO EXCUSE TO STAND IDLY BY IN SILENCE!

Not just ONE VOICE should stand up…

but THE VOICES OF BILLIONS of Muslim people should SHOUT OUT IN CONDEMNATION of the violence which DEFINES THE MUSLIM FAITH!

When will this begin to take place?

duncan   February 7th, 2010 - 10:20 am

And to think there are people in San Fran that Pay for this type of treatment.

Commieobamie   February 7th, 2010 - 12:08 pm

The obamanation.

james   February 9th, 2010 - 2:58 am

nothing unusual, just another day in dearborn

My favorite statement was the talking heads last comment that came as an afterthought “People accused of serious crimes are often reportable killed.” Only MSNBC could offer that kind of insight in one of their pieces making it sound like, “yea rumor has it that a few are possible/ maybe/ might be/ rumored to be or allegedly killed.” Obviously MSNBC is on the cutting edge in respect to word play.
