Tajikistan: religious fanatics slay Santa Claus
The Voice of Russia ^ | Jan 3, 2012 | Staff

In Dushanbe, a young man, dressed as Santa Claus, was killed by a mob of young people, shouting accusations of "infidel," as a senior source in the Tajik Interior Ministry disclosed.

"The young man had decided to congratulate his relatives dressed up in a Santa Claus outfit. When he approached the door of his house, he was attacked by a mob of about 30 young people, shouting, "Tu kofiri" ("Infidel"), who inflicted on Parviz numerous stab wounds from which he died in the hospital," - said the source.

The authorities have admitted the fact that 24-year old Parviz Davlatbekov had been murdered, but deny that it was entirely motivated by religious hatred. "We acknowledge the fact of a murder having been committed, but we regard it as a domestic crime," - Tajik Interior Ministry Chief of Staff, Gen. Tohir Normatov told journalists.

On New Year's Eve, December 30, the head of the Ulema Council of Tajikistan Saidmukarram Abdukodirzoda told reporters that decoration of Christmas trees, dancing and games around it are alien to the Tajik culture and contrary to the laws of Islam.

Hey murder must be OK if it is to keep an alien culture from spreading. (/sarcasm)

Seriously, Islam is not a religion that values peace or life.

There are some crazy MF-ers in this world.

On a side note, while under Soviet rule, the city of Dushanbe was actually named ‘Stalinabad’ for a while.

Janet Napolitano agrees. Just an isolated incident with no religious or terrorist significance.

Now that’s a democracy florishing.
We can’t get away with that sort of thing in this country.

They just hate Sa’ami symbols. In any just society this young man’s killers would be flayed alive and fed to the pigs.

Russians have had problems with Muslims far longer than America has been a nation. I look forward to the day Russia, China, Israel and the USA decide on an “Islam Delenda Est” program.

The worst part is that insanity is incubated and encouraged by Muslims. The sooner the world admits that Islam is incompatible with civilized life, the better off we will be.

Only in Muslim society can a sense of humor get you killed so easily.

A former colleague of mine from the U S Diplomatic mission in Havana was expecting a good follow-on tour such as Paris or Rome but was rewarded with a tour in Dushanbe. Those of us who knew and detested this woman did a happy dance for her.
