There really aren‘t many words to describe what you’re about to see. The best I can do is this: you know how some unions in Wisconsin are threatening boycotts of businesses who refuse to put up pro-union signs? Take that, change the businesses to delinquent tax payers, and then change the unions to transgender Pakistani tax collectors. Oh, and change the threat of a boycott to the threat of shaming the taxpayer by showing up and dancing.
Still with me?
Here’s what you have: the Pakistani government has hired transgender tax collectors (men who want to be, and dress up as, women) who go out and harass delinquent tax payers. Their method? They threaten said tax payers by promising to show up with more transgender collectors and dancing, thus shaming the business in to paying. Guess what? It kind of, sort of, works.
See, the transgender collectors are considered “outcasts” in the Muslim country, and if they hang around your establishment, it’s considered bad for business.

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 2:47pmThis novel method is limited by time. Sooner or later these trans gender tax collectors is going to run into trouble and the whole issue will be treated as a “blasphemous act” by the government. Imams will rise up issuing Fatwas against these tax collectors.

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 10:45amIt is the same reason Why would the US send aid to a country like this… complete insanity. It’s really no more difficult than that. Because a man named Khan helped them with their nuclear weapons program, they could ‘nuke up’ and cause fear in the West ~ is my belief that covers most of the ‘how’ and ‘why’ regarding Pakistan. I wish India would wipe the map of this filthy, pathetic, third world terrorist cesspool. Once Benizir Bhutto was assassinated, the last hope for Pakistan was vaporized – stick a fork in it, it’s DONE.

Posted on April 17, 2011 at 7:52pmBlink, Blink… Sigh. it’s like sending a black man to a clan rally. Sorry boys but if you have meat your a butcher not a beautician. I never understood why a guy who wants to attract men dress like women.. If your dressed like a woman you are more likely to attract the type that will have nothing to do with you.. Otherwise your trying to attract something that looks like what you do not want to be with.. Just sounds like a person that wants to live their life out of their pants when they should do something other than obsess over sex all the time. People that do that are called perverts.

Posted on April 17, 2011 at 7:47pmThis is just a way for the Pakistani government to get rid of the trangendered population without raising a finger. They’ll have their crazed Islamists to take care of it.
These frenzied killers murder when they hear of someone burning a Quran on the other side of the world. Do you think they’re going to pay taxes to a bunch of transgendered tax collectors without chopping off their head first?
Intelligence is not something that the Pakistanis have much of I’m afraid. They’ve been inbreeding for a long, long time and this is the result of it.

Obama Hosts Boss of Terror Channel Al-Jazeera
By Cliff Kincaid | April 15, 2011
In fact, Qatar is a dictatorship with no freedom of the press.
President Obama on Thursday hosted Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar, otherwise known as the Boss of Al-Jazeera, for a meeting in the Oval Office. Obama called him “Your Highness” and “His Highness,” even though the Emir dropped his robes of royalty for a business suit. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani financially sponsors Al-Jazeera and its most famous personality, anti-American and anti-Semitic cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has just returned to Egypt from Qatar to supervise the transformation of that one-time U.S. ally into an Islamic state.
