A Christmas gift from radical islam Foreign policy. Muslims go on beheading, bombing rampage Residents dragged from homes for decapitation, civilians hurt in bar blast December 24, 2002 Police in Indian Kashmir report a massive spree of violence carried out by suspected Muslim extremists, leaving at least four dead by decapitation, and 15 civilians injured in a bar explosion. Two Hindus were reportedly dragged from their home today and beheaded by members of the extreme Islamist movement Lashkar-e-Taiba (The Army of the Pure). Police say five assailants hauled the father and brother of police officer Pawan Kumar from their house in the village of Khas in the Rajouri district, which borders the Pakistani zone of Kashmir. "They barged into the home of Pawan Kumar's parents early in the morning and dragged his father and brother onto the roadside where they beheaded them," a spokesman told Agence France-Presse. Their murders come on the heels of a similar incident on Friday when suspected militants beheaded two young women and gunned down a third, in what police believe could have been retaliation for their failure to abide by strict Islamic dress codes. A militant group has circulated posters directing Muslims to follow a set of guidelines like the Taliban had done in Afghanistan. Signed by the Lashkar-e-Jabbar, circulars have appeared in a Rajouri college, directing women to wear burqas, and men to wear caps and grow beards in keeping with Islamic traditions. Meanwhile, 15 civilians were injured today when militants triggered a time bomb inside a bar in the main market of Rajouri. The bomb went off around 3:45 p.m. local time. The injured were rushed to a hospital where their condition was stated to be stable. Additional police and paramilitary forces have been rushed to the area and a hunt launched for the militants. worldnetdaily.com
