SNIPPET: "PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Taliban militants blew up a girls' school in Pakistan's Khyber district Monday, officials said, as two soldiers and seven insurgents were killed in clashes in the northwest tribal belt.

The pre-dawn school attack took place in Saddokhel town in northwest Khyber tribal district, where militants detonated explosives planted around the building, destroying all five school rooms but causing no injuries.

"They are Taliban. They are the same people who do not want children to get an education," senior administration official Rahim Gul Khattak told AFP.

Islamist militants opposed to co-education have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in the northwest of the country in recent years as they wage a fierce insurgency to enforce Sharia law."

Of course they did. This is what muslims do. Anything to punish females.

I just finished reading Greg Mortenson's Three Cups of Tea last night. It's unbelievable how evil these people are...

It would make you wonder that if a Taliban ever went to a Halloween party, would he dress as a educated independent woman since that seems to be the most frightening thing to them.

I’ve never read it, but I’ve look at the global jihad in depth since since 9/11; yes, the jihad is pure evil.

It’s really a good book about a great man who is actually accomplishing something. It also gives an interesting perspective to “normal” Muslim’s versus the jihadists (Taliban, etc.) and how much they like American’s who actually help. Mortenson deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize for what he has actually accomplished. He has done more in his life for real people than Obamarx could ever hope to accomplish.
