050309 Rehman Baba Shrine bombed

March 05, 2009.

Suspected Islamist militants in Pakistan blew up on Thursday (March-05) the mausoleum of a 17th century poet revered in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, apparently because women visited the shrine.

The ethnic Pashtun poet, Abdul Rehman, is commonly known as Rehman Baba, and is loved by Pashtuns for his mystical verse. People regularly go to his white, marble mausoleum on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar to pay their respects but no one was hurt in the pre-dawn blast.

Militants have been stepping up attacks in Pakistan in recent years, especially in the Pashtun-dominated northwest. As well as battling the security forces, the militants in many areas have tried to stamp out what they see as inappropriate practices such as music and dancing.

These fuckers will destroy the whole earth with their false and violent ideology. God will ask 'Teach my message to the people of Earth.' They will say: 'We cannot teach to anyone now because we have killed everyone on Your Name.... now where are our Hoors?"...

You should go and level the grave of your father, mother, and all your ancestors first, and stop your entire family from visiting them, and then leave a will that none should visit your grave after you are dumped into it, and that it should be leveled, so that none knows where you were dumped, and even then you shouldn't speak against the graves of Ambia(as), Ashaab(ra), and Awliya Allah(ra).

Hadith says that horn of devil was to be raised from Najad, and it was fulfilled! These Najadi Khawarij are attacking Islam and Muslims claiming themselves to be the only Muslims, since they follow the Islam of 18th century. When it comes to friendship with Israel and US against Muslims they are at the top, and when it comes to attacking Muslims they are at the top again! Saudi is strengthening its regime by Wahabism, and Iran is increasing its influence by spreading Shiaism!

Greate, Rahman bab did not mean anything for real Pastuns.

Brother potysplasher is correct.

Level the graves to the ground.

This is the Islam that is despised in the west. Anti culture, anti- music, anti-everything.

I pray that Pakistanis rise up against these Wahabist fascists and defend their heritage.

nd i want to give an advice to all rehman baba readers. Dont listen to his kalaam with music. If you really know the meaning of his kalaam. You will know its almost derived from quran and hadith so plzzz dont mix music with it. Allah pamaan.
