Taliban Targeting Belly Dancers
From BBC:
On a chilly October night, a late visitor bangs the huge steel gate of a house in a narrow alley of Mingora city, the headquarters of Pakistan’s troubled northern district, Swat.
But no-one answers.
A painted sign on top of the gate says: “No more singing and dancing from today - 8 August 2007.”
A curious neighbour walks up to the visitor, telling him the girls inside “have got letters from the Taleban, advising them to put an end to their business if they don’t want their house blown up”.
People in the Bunrh neighbourhood, the so-called music street of Mingora, confirm this information.
“Dozens of families have shifted to other cities, while many others are stuck here without any means of a living,” says Fazl-e-Maula, the father-in-law of a local dancing girl, Nasreen.
Local Taleban have been spreading their influence in Swat since 2005, and are currently holding large swathes of territory just north of Mingora.
Last August, they distributed a dozen letters across the Bunrh neighbourhood threatening bomb attacks unless the dancers and musicians gave up their professions.
Swat has been long known for its fair-skinned dancing girls, popular with people who wish to have dancing at a wedding party or any other private party across most of northern Pakistan.
Unlike some dancing girls in the Shahi Mohallah area of Lahore, the women in this conservative city have never had a reputation for providing any sexual services.
Down the decades, many of the girls have shown themselves to be talented radio singers or movie stars.
But in recent years the tide has turned against them in a big way.

“If the woman in the top picture is in need of political asylum, he is willing to give her refuge”

She appears to have all of the equipment necessary to make the lance in my pants dance, whether she has any rhythm or not
Now Bash, don’t burst my bubble and tell me that it’s a transvestite either…
December 7th, 2007 at 5:43 pmThe Taliban must have a lot of sexual tension, you can only sleep with sheep so long.
December 7th, 2007 at 9:54 pmNow who wouldn’t want to see the chic in the top pic dance?
The Taliban are gay. They do all that they can to screw up everything. The goat-fuckers can’t even appreciate a fine looking woman. How pathetic can they be?
Oh, I forgot, they worship the moon-god and dress their goat-fucker followers up in make-up. Hmmmm…Gay, completely gay….
Put some rounds in a bucket of pigs fat and shoot all of them.
