Villagers kill 2 Taliban to defend aid workers

KABUL, July 11 — A group of villagers in northwestern Afghanistan used a machine gun, sticks and stones to kill two Taliban militants and chase 10 others away, a provincial police chief said.

The militants had tried to abduct local aid workers who were building a well in the Qayar district of Faryab province, the police chief, Khalil Andarabi, said yesterday.

The villagers confronted the militants, and after a brief altercation, shot at them, killing two and forcing the rest to flee, he said.

"According to our culture, when the people invited the aid workers to dig a well they cannot allow the Taliban to kidnap and behead them," Andarabi said. "They were guests, and we never give up our guests."

In the middle of all the madness, some people will still do what is right, even it its going to cost them.

On the recent ruckus

Who in his right mind, invites a underground punk band to perform at a political rally?

Who the heck is running the country?

We had the general elections on March 8. 2 weeks campaigning before that and who knows how long in preparation. Its now mid July, the cabinet ministers are pretty much all still campaigning to stay in power within their respective parties.
Hello! Its July already, the election is over. In case you haven't noticed the economy is crap right now.

I know you're sore because the opposition made gains, but in case you didn't notice, you freaking WON the election. So get back to work.

Facebook blocked at work!

It had to happen sooner or later I suppose.
No more FB stalking people at work.
Now, back to work!

In this time of turmoil and uncertainty.....

Yesuslah Tuhan yang layak ditinggikan
Layak disembah oleh suku-suku bangsa
Dengan darah-Mu,
kau telah tebus dosaku
Genapi Tuhan firman-Mu atas neg’riku

Hatiku rindu melihat kemuliaan-Mu
Hatiku rindu melihat curahan kuasa-Mu
Di tanah tercinta neg’riku Malaysia
Ku berdoa
Malaysia penuh kemuliaan-Mu
Malaysia bagi kemuliaan-Mu

Ya Allahku nyatakan kemuliaan-Mu
Ya Allahku nyatakan curahan kuasa-Mu
Di tanah tercinta neg’riku Malaysia
Kuberdoa
Malaysia penuh kemuliaan-Mu
Malaysia bagi kemuliaan-Mu
