Turban Bombs Do Exist and Muslims Want Them Banned

Notice in the story below that Muslims don’t want the bombings to stop. But they think suicide bombs shouldn’t be hidden in turbans. Hmmm… Turban bomb? Where have I heard that before?

From a CanadianRag here:

Afghan President Hamid Karzai met recently with members of the country’s clerical councils to get their assistance in persuading insurgents not to hide explosives in suicide bombers’ turbans or in other religious or cultural symbols.

The Taliban, however, appear to have responded by hiding a bomb in a mosque in Kandahar province.

In the last five weeks, suicide bombers have killed the mayor of Kandahar and a senior cleric in the city with small amounts of explosives hidden in their turbans. In both cases, the bombers grabbed their victims before triggering the explosives.

It is believed to be the first time turbans have been used in suicide attacks.

Bombs in Turbans! Holy crap, that means you can hide anything you want in your turban and the TSA will definitely not bother to look there. Why wouldn’t Karzai request that clerics just stop suicide bombing altogether? Oh yeah, because it is a religious tenet that they kill people. I still think Count Dracula had the right idea- just nail the stupid turbans permanently to their skulls.
