Rebels Threaten to Shoot Unveiled Women news.excite.com By Sheikh Mushtaq Thu, Sep 13 8:55 AM EDT SRINAGAR, India (Reuters) - A shadowy Muslim rebel group in India's restive Kashmir, whose members sprayed acid on women for defying its Islamic dress code, threatened on Thursday to shoot women if they did not wear veils. "Unveiled Muslim women and girls will be shot at after September 14," a spokesman for the little-known group, Lashkar-e-Jabar, told the Urdu-language Alsafa newspaper. "We appeal to heads of colleges and schools for girls to persuade students to adhere to Purdah (the veil)," the spokesman said. Thousands of nervous Muslim women in strife-torn Kashmir have begun wearing veils after the militant group sprayed acid on two women in Srinagar last month. The rebel threat came as authorities said they had arrested some separatist guerrillas who had attacked women with acid. A government statement said police achieved a "breakthrough" after arresting some militants responsible for attacking women. "Investigations may lead to more arrests," the government said. Police stepped up patrols and posted plainclothes men at schools and collages to protect women defying the order after an earlier rebel deadline passed on Monday. On Tuesday, unidentified youths threw paint at an unveiled tea-e-Jabar has also ordered women from the minority Hindu and Sikh communities in Kashmir to dress differently to Muslim women so they can be more easily identified. The group said Hindu women should wear a traditional "bindi," the colored dot on the forehead, and Sikh women should cover their heads with saffron-colored cloth. Authorities in Kashmir say people in the troubled state have resisted the rise of Islamic fundamentalism since the start of the separatist rebellion and would do so again. Separatist guerrillas in the early 1990s banned beauty parlors, cinemas and liquor shops and demanded women adopt Islamic dress in India's only Muslim-majority state. Nearly a dozen Muslim militant groups are fighting New Delhi's rule in Jammu and Kashmir where officials say more than 30,000 people have been killed in separatist violence Separatists put the death toll closer to 80,0000. * the world wants to be rid of these insane fools once and for all

Truly there was never a time when I was not, Nor thou, nor these lords of men; And neither will there be a time when we shall cease to be; All of us exist from this time onward. *************************************** Know that that by which all this universe Is pervaded is indeed indestructable; No one is able to accomplish The destruction of this imperishable. These bodies inhabited by the eternal, The indestructible, the immeasurable embodied one, These bodies alone are said to come to an end. Therefore fight, Arjuna! He who imagines this one the slayer And he who imagines this one the slain, Neither of them understands; This one does not slay, nor is it slain. Neither is this one, the embodied one, born nor does it die at any time, Nor, having been, will it again come not to be. Birthless, eternal, perpetual, primaeval, It is not slain when the body is slain. He who knows this--the indestructable, the eternal, The birthless, the imperishable-- Whom does he cause to slay, Arjuna? Whom does he slay? ********************************************************** For the born, death is certain; For the dead there is certainly birth. Therefore, inevitable in consequence, Thou should not mourn over this. Beings are such that their beginnings are unmanifest, Their midpoints are manifest, And their ends are unmanifest again. What complaint can there be over this? ****************************************************** The embodied one is eternally inviolable In the body of all, Arjuna, Therefore thou should not mourn For any being. And perceiving thine own implicit duty Thou should not tremble. Indeed, for the implicit warrior, anything superior to appropriate battle does not exist. And so, if thou will not undertake This proper engagement, having avoided thine own implicit duty, Thou will promote and encourage evil. Krshna to Arjuna, from the Bhagavad Gita (for the benefit of those to whom these words not familiar)
