Re: “We closed the Taiba mosque today because young men were converted to religious fanatics there. A purported cultural association shamelessly exploited the freedoms of our democratic state under the rule of law to recruit for holy war behind the scenes.” Very good... but, while they are at it, why don't they close all these mercenary outfits --the so-called Private Military Contractors? Tell me, longnshort, what's basically the difference between a (western) mercenary and a Muslim "terrorist"? What's the difference between a young, idle, blond, former paratrooper who's raring to kick some sand-nigger's ass AND a young, jobless darkey dreaming about (muslim) martyrdom? Here's a website dedicated to the former: privatemilitary.org ...and here's their recruiting page: privatemilitary.org For PMCs to be directly involved in combat activities raises concerns of whether in the course of their duty they violate human rights and are involved in genocide, crimes against humanity, assassinations and murder which fall under the province of international humanitarian law. The lack of comprehensive national and international law legislation, and the vagueness of the legal person of a private military contractor under international law complicates the issue of immunity.
