I dunno...do you get the feeling that the Taliban have an issue with control? hahaha Well, the latest death threat to be issued by the Pakistani Taliban is directed at a popular Pakistani actress who appeared on an Indian TV reality show - in the episode, the actress made the HUGE mistake of massaging the neck of an Indian actor. So now she gets to die.
From the article at Google News:
A well-known Pakistani actress Saturday said she had received death threats from militants after appearing on the Indian equivalent of hit reality television show "Big Brother".
Veena Malik, 27, incurred the wrath of hardline Islamic clerics for her performance on "Big Boss", during which she indulged in several intimate scenes with Indian actor Ashmit Patel that included massaging his head and neck.
Clerics accused her of shaming Pakistan in rival India and she also received a letter threatening to "punish" her.
"I am quite shocked after receiving this letter. First I got only verbal threats but now it is in writing," Malik told AFP by telephone from India, where she is hosting cricket World Cup show "Big Toss".
"Security is a concern and the Pakistani government is responsible for my and my family's security. I hope that the government will provide me that security," Malik said.
The actress said people with tight security details had been killed in Pakistan, referring to the January assassination of Punjab governor Salman Taseer over his opposition to a draconian blasphemy law.
"What can I say except that I have firm belief in God and life and death is in his hand," she said.
You see, we have to maintain order in the eyes of the Taliban - we have to completely understand that under the command of allah, touching a man on television is against allah's will and constitutes punishment by death but bombing a school building and killing 30 girls under the age of 12 is acceptable to the moon god. Oh, and don't forget that it's perfectly okay for a 40 year old Taliban man to bugger a 10 year old boy. But dammit, do NOT go and touch a man from India!
The really crazy part of all of this is the fact that this death threat is real - these clowns will actually try and kill this woman. Mark my words...although it might be six months or so from now, you'll see a little blurb somewhere that an actress from Pakistan had her car blown up and she's deader than dead.
Death threats for actress who 'shamed' Pakistan
LAHORE, Pakistan — A well-known Pakistani actress Saturday said she had received death threats from militants after appearing on the Indian equivalent of hit reality television show "Big Brother".
Veena Malik, 27, incurred the wrath of hardline Islamic clerics for her performance on "Big Boss", during which she indulged in several intimate scenes with Indian actor Ashmit Patel that included massaging his head and neck.
Clerics accused her of shaming Pakistan in rival India and she also received a letter threatening to "punish" her.
"I am quite shocked after receiving this letter. First I got only verbal threats but now it is in writing," Malik told AFP by telephone from India, where she is hosting cricket World Cup show "Big Toss".
"Security is a concern and the Pakistani government is responsible for my and my family's security. I hope that the government will provide me that security," Malik said.
The actress said people with tight security details had been killed in Pakistan, referring to the January assassination of Punjab governor Salman Taseer over his opposition to a draconian blasphemy law.
"What can I say except that I have firm belief in God and life and death is in his hand," she said.
Malik said she would return to Pakistan despite the threats.
"To live in my country is my right. I am a daughter of this soil. I guarantee that I will come back to Pakistan and will live in my own country," she said.
"My hands are clean. And I have done nothing wrong. I am not the person to back out after such threats."
Sohail Rashid, Malik's media manager, said she had received a letter from the little-known Maulana Ahmed Masood, who claims to be a leader of Tehreek-e-Taliban, or the Taliban movement.
The authenticity of the threat letter or the credentials of its writer could not be verified and the spokesman for Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan was not immediately available.
"The letter says that Tehreek-e-Taliban has taken a decision as a Muslim to punish Veena Malik soon," Rashid told AFP.
"We want our daughters and sisters in our homes only and Veena Malik, who is humiliating Pakistan's name in India, will be punished soon," Rashid quoted from the letter.
"We are soon going to punish Veena Malik so that our future generations may be afraid of going to India. It is the responsibility of all Pakistanis and Muslims, but now we are going to accomplish it," Rashid quoted the letter as saying.
Ties between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, which have fought two of their three wars since 1947 over Kashmir, have been dogged by border and resource disputes, and accusations of Pakistani militant activity in India.

The USA should hire her. Let's use her in a PSA commercial condemning radical Islam. Run it constantly on Pakistani TV. Then grant her asylum to the USA and show her getting a back massage from a man in a spa.
That oughta really rattle the nest.
