Tajikistan: religious fanatics slay Santa Claus 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. http://english.ruvr.ru/2012/01/03/63323280.html Hmmm.....Muslims again? I would say that it is likely. What makes these people snap like this? _
Holy Cow, that's really harsh, they killed him? I can't imagine what kind of irreverence could get you killed in our society. Even marching through Harlem in a Klan suit is probably only going to get you some nasty words and at worst a black eye. I guess I can't relate to this kind of passion.
To be exact they have killed Russian analogue of American Santa Claus - Ded Moroz ( Grandfather the Frost ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ded_Moroz Policemen of Tadjikistan have detained the three students suspected in murder of the Santa Claus This are students of the Tadjik national university: Sharif Davlatov, Farukh Samiev and Abruz Napruloev. On the one hand the disintegration of the USSR is tragedy for Soviet people, on the other hand we have got rid of these savages. Every cloud has a silver lining.
No, No, No, You got it all wrong. You have to understand different mentality if you're going to write about them. As you know, Knifes are held high in Tajak society. They saw Santa and wanted to give him presents to give their relatives. Those presents has several knifes in them, which are considered high value presents. Santa approached the knifes on the wrong side and pushed, which caused him several wounds and consequently he died. See, the mob had nothing to do with it, on the contrary.
I'm 100% sure they were not; did you know, Tajikistan is on the bottom of the list as far as alcohol consumption goes? Nah, it's almost certainly a muslim thing...
I'm 100 % sure they are islamic fanatics. Moslems do not drink alcohol. They prefer to smoke marijuana. Though I'm 100 % sure they they were 100 % sober.
Hey, we know capitalism hasn't worked out too well for Russia, but that's mostly because you have an even more cronyist version of it than us.
