Girl attacked in 2008 acid throwing, determined to get education. Family in danger from relatives of acid throwers.
Afghan girls attending the Totia Girls School in Kabul were attacked with an unidentified poisonous gas. The spokesman for the education ministry, Asif Nang, said that it was part of a series of attacks against schoolgirls.
"We were in our classroom when I smelt a bad smell. Our teacher walked outside the class to find out whether the smell is just in our classroom or everywhere at school," Farida, a 12-year-old schoolgirl being treated at the local hospital, said.
"When she found out that the smell is everywhere at school she informed the principal of the school and then took us out of the classroom."Al Jazeera
No group has claimed responsibility for the poison gas attack, but the Taliban are known to be opposed to education for women. When the Taliban were in power in Afghanistan from 1996- 2001 they banned education for girls.
In recent years the Taliban have been blamed for setting girls' schools on fire, threatening teachers and attacking school girls. In 2008 in Kandahar Province, 15 schoolgirls were attacked by men throwing acid. Some of the girls were blinded, all were scarred.
In those areas under Taliban control, schools for girls remain closed.
I’m sure that liberal human-rights and feminism groups will be all over this.
The silence from the Muslims on this issue is deafening.
Of course we can negotiate with them!
Who has time to worry about this when America is violating the U.N.’s human rights policies? /s
Muslims and libs: two sides of the smae coin and both silent.
According to Bloomberg, we are all Muslims. So go out and hunt down a defenseless 10th grader girl to murder. What a pathetic death cult populated by losers who can’t talk to women except in strip joints.
Poison gas? Hmmm
NASA’s new mission is to make nicey-nicey with the muzzies, so I’m sure this situation will improve.
Right. Much easier to put men back on the moon than to civilize a bunch of rabid barbarians.
Wow...that makes me so angry. I can’t believe the world at large is so willfully ignorant and purposfully blind to all this. All these acts of the muslims against things/people they don’t agree with show what, their tolerance? NO. Acceptance? NO. Open-mindedness? again, NO. So, I ask, why should they ask for all these things for themselves here in America? and why in the world should we feel the need to give it to them, when they themselves don’t practice it???
Michael Moore’s “Freedom Fighters” at work.
But then, that’s not surprising.
OMG, no, did he really say that? Libs think they can tell any kind of lie whatsoever and it'll fly. What a pig. He needs to be impeached.
“Of course we can negotiate with them!”
However, before negotiations begin, Muslim attitude adjustment is advisable. Pick a village known for oen support of the Taliban. Level that entire village at night, using a trio of properly placed MOAB’s.
Bounce that rubble!
After that, the Taliban will be saying “we agree with everything you have ever said or thought in your entire life, Esteemed One!”
They always are. They scream about it constantly.

PING PING PING
Coming soon to New York.
remember everyone we are the bigots that exaggerate the islamic threat. sickening
And these are the people that obama the clown and Patraeus want the government to “reconcile” with. Heavan help us.
OMG, no, did he really say that?
He made an oblique reference to JFK's speech by saying that we are all Jews, Christians, and Muslims (at the same time). He also said that the protesters against the GZ Mosque are "undermining national security."
"Bloomberg brought home the point that the propaganda war now being waged on Islam in America threatens to undercut our counterinsurgency battle for 'hearts and minds' in Iraq and Afghanistan. 'If we do not practice here at home what we preach abroad–if we do not lead by example–we undermine our soldiers,' he said. 'We undermine our foreign policy objectives. And we undermine our national security.'"

Can you believe this slimeball? When does he start calling for the Attorney General to investigate the opponents of the mosque?
