              The sounds of [Metallica](http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/metallica) and Thin Lizzy are now being used on the frontline in [Afghanistan](http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/afghanistan), according to a report by the AFP. Marines are allegedly blasting heavy [metal](http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/metal) into villages in Marjah, hoping to subdue the [Taliban](http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/taliban) through ringing ears.

“Taliban hate [this] music,” said a US special forces sergeant. “Some locals complain but it’s a way to push them to choose [sides]. It’s motivating marines as well.” Apparently, when rebel forces start firing on American soldiers in Marjah, an armoured vehicle with “powerful speakers” fires up the tunes, blaring rock and heavy metal so loudly that it can be heard two kilometres away. The tactical playlist continues for several hours.
As the military blasts Offspring’s Pretty Fly for a White Guy, children cover their ears and, it is claimed, insurgents lay down their arms. Mixed in with the songs are messages from the Afghan government and threats to the Taliban resistance. There are no obscenities, the AFP’s contact promises, “but we tell them they’re gonna die”.
Soldiers may not be DJing in Marjah for much longer. “It’s inappropriate,” said lieutenant colonel Brian Christmas, the commander of marines in northern Marjah. Christmas claimed he had not heard of (or heard) the audio attacks. “I’m going to ask this to stop right now.”

Just like they torture innocents in Guantanamo, Bagram and God knows where.. they’re doing it to the innocent Afghanis.

Hey I listen to that music. It is by no means satanic. That isn't even death metal.

Re: They can't defeat Taliban, resort to satan music

Re: They can't defeat Taliban, resort to satan music

Using songs and music is an old old tradition that was even used in Arab lands. There are examples even from the early period of Islam.

Nothing new. and nothing satanic about music.

And Music is one thousand times better to let the afghan insurgent know that the Americans are there.

What is the other option? Lob a 500 lb bomb in the vicinity of the village?

No, the other option is GTFO of there as the US soldier says:

You see how nice the Taliban are to the prisoners?!! If the Americans had their way, they would even torture their mothers!

10

May be they will. who knows at this stage.

But Islamists are destroying the Af-Pak brick by brick, girsl-school by girls-school.

So they too need to GTFO of Pak and Afghanistan (or wherever they are living and breeding).

How many "mothers" are in GITMO?
How many 10 years old girls are being tortured and their schools getting burned by the Americans?

Re: They can't defeat Taliban, resort to satan music

Again your running away from the thread. Go on.

12

You said Americans are torturing Islamists' mothers.

Tell us how many mothers have been in GITMO / Bagram whose sons were $tupid enough to join Qaida?

Re: They can’t defeat Taliban, resort to satan music

:smack: read again buddy.

Go ahead join the amreekan and support the killings of iraqis, afghanis, pakistanis, palestinians, yemenis.. go shout their filth. go do your e-propaganda.

14

You mean Qaida and Islamists filth and propaganda that results in bombing little girls and their schools, whipping them, and killing them, and hanging innocents and leaving their dead bodies in Khooni chowk.

Right?

So no answer. Where are the mothers of Jihadists who are tortured by Americans.

No answer!
