KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Officials on Wednesday blamed Taliban militants for beheading a teacher in a central Afghan town, the latest in a string of attacks against educators at schools where girls study.
Armed men decapitated Malim Abdul Habib in his home in the town of Qalat late Tuesday and forced his wife and children to watch, said Ali Khail, a provincial government spokesman. The assailant did not harm the other relatives, he said.
The attackers then fled and the wife called the police, Khail said. Police are questioning three people who were guests in the victim's home at the time.
Habib was the headmaster of Shaikh Mathi Baba high school, which is attended by 1,300 boys and girls.
The insurgents claim that educating girls is against Islam and they even oppose government-funded boys' schools because they teach subjects other than religion.
Zabul province's education director Nabi Khushal blamed Taliban rebels.
"Only the Taliban are against girls being educated," he said. "The Taliban often attack our teachers and beat them. But this is the first time one has been killed in this province."

Or the NEA?.........
Or the Code Pinkos?
NOW is preparing a rally...
... To bring the troops home.
Or the DNC?
No kidding. While they are flatulating over Alito, there are crickets chirping in NOW over this issue.
Thats gotta hurt....
The Taliban should have their little tallies whacked off. A head for a head.
Our work on this problem is far from over.
probably too busy trying to dig up more BUSH-BASHING crappo...lol
"Armed men decapitated Malim Abdul Habib in his home in the town of Qalat late Tuesday and forced his wife and children to watch, ..."
This is beyond cruel. Imagine how helpless they felt, watching THIS. The psychological and emotional damage ... will not be repairable.
Or Eleanor Smeal, Nancy Pelosi, Cindy Sheehan, ad nauseum.
And these are the people the Western left has hitched their wagons too...
Or any of the 60, or so, Muslim countries?
"The assailants made Habib's wife, four sons and four daughters watch, Khail said. His children were between the ages of 2 and 22. No other family members were hurt."
Taliban are white protestant extremists, right?
"Cleric Sayed Omer Munib, a member of the nation's top Islamic council, said there was no justification in Islam's holy book, the Quran, to prevent girls from studying.
"Nowhere in the Quran does it say that girls do not have the right to education," he said. "It says that 'people should be educated.' This means girls, too."
Oh, I'm sure the other relatives are just fine /sarc.
Cindy Sheehan's freedom fighters hard at work again.
"Where is the National Organization of Women on this one?"
That guy that subbed for Rush last week, Roger (Hitchcock?), had an interesting theory. He suggests that NOW doesn't say more about muslims because they are ok with the whole burka thing. NOW has aways been against women as sex objects, using feminine charms all that stuff. Well, muslims enforce that to a big degree. No need to worry about anyone showing clevage in a muslim country.
So, that gives NOW another reason to love muzzies. The whole cover up thing, and the old standby, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
