Taliban targets women and schoolgirls |
2007-07-15 |
No one is safe in the Taliban's war against the Afghani Government-sponsored school system. In the Taliban's eyes, to destroy the schools is to prove the government weak and unable to provide security. To make their point, the Taliban have no qualms with massacring innocent preteen schoolgirls. "Schoolgirls in the Gunsights of the Taliban" by Barry Bearak for Scotland on Sunday: WITH their teacher absent, 10 students were allowed to leave school early. These were the girls the gunmen saw first, 10 easy targets walking hand-in-hand through the blue metal gate and on to the winding dirt road.Simply horrible. Can any normal human being justify the shooting innocent little girls for going to school? The girls are not the only targets; their mothers are under attack as well. Although the power of the Taliban has been greatly reduced in Afghanistan since the 2001 US-led invasion, slowly but surely their influence, especially in the tribal south, is returning. |

#10 As Zarmina scurried away, the men took a more studied aim at those they had already shot, finishing off Shukria with bullets to her stomach and heart. Then the attackers seemed to succumb to the frenzy they had begun, forsaking the motorbike and fleeing on foot in a panic, two bobbing heads - one tucked into a helmet, the other swaddled by a handkerchief - vanishing amid the earthen colour of the concealing wheat. Excuse me for asking, but were the attackers masturbating? |

#9 Since a fundamental cause of the Islamofascist insane behavior is that they "aren't getting any", this tactic of murdering schoolgirls seems a bit counter-productive. |

#8 I've yet to be convinced that it all of islam isn't fundamentalist islam. Not all of it is, otherwise we would have constant jihadist attacks around the globe every minute of the day. The problem remains whereby even Islamic factions that are marginally friendly to America—like the Kurds and the Ahmadiyya sect—either still adhere to shari'a law or are of such puny numbers that their ability to sway the overall outcome is wholely neglegible. At the day's end, these simple facts disallow us to make any assumption other than that Islam is fundamentalist and it represents an implaccable enemy whose unwillingness to negotiate or honor any treaties signed render the entire religion a lethal threat to non-Muslims. Our traitor-elite politicians continue to slurp down the Religion of Peace [spit] Kool-Aid and thereby deliver us into Islam's withering embrace. |

#7 Arm the women, and the schoolgirls too. Give them special training, make sure they have the right weapons, and see what happens. |

#6 I don't think anything is going to fix fundamentalist islam but death. Civilization in the MME will not advance with them. I've yet to be convinced that it all of islam isn't fundamentalist islam. |

#5 This isn't a war of civilizations or a war of religions. This is a war between "modern" man and "neanderthal" man. |

#4 Can any normal human being justify the shooting innocent little girls for going to school? When the Taliban surrendered en mass they should have been interned, imprisoned for life or simply executed on the spot. While the cost of the first two options might have been equal or greater than what we spend now in Afghanistan, many more of our soldiers would be alive and Afghan society would be progressing more rapidly. Even Nazis and communists exhibit greater chances of successful rehabilitation than Muslim terrorists. The West is foolish to believe that there is any way to change the thinking of those who have been infected with Islam's death meme. |

#3 Afghan women used to have a hideous reputation for what they would do to a man taken prisoner. Pity some of them haven't been placed in charge of Taliban prisoners. |

#2 "Taliban targets women and schoolgirls" Of course they do. The useless wanker talib-pussies™ do tend to attack people they're sure can't fight back, after all. These clowns can't get their reward IN HELL too soon. >:-( |
