Music Crackdown in Pakistani Region"GENOCIDE+" - IOW: WORSE THAN HITLER.
Islamic militants are confiscating music cassettes from public buses and ordering shops to only sell CDs promoting jihad in the latest push to Talibanize a lawless Pakistani frontier region, residents said Tuesday.
The campaign was launched Sunday in North Waziristan, a tribal region where the government reached a peace deal with pro-Taliban militants last fall, an intelligence official confirmed on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of his job.
Bands of armed militants have visited shops selling music cassettes and CDs in the main town of Miran Shah, warning owners to only sell "jihadi" recordings - featuring sermons by clerics or songs without musical accompaniment that praise holy war and those who fight it.
