Taliban Hangs 7-Year-Old Boy in Grisly Warning

As thousands of American troops pour into southern Afghanistan, insurgents have launched a vicious offensive against the Afghans supporting the surge. In the last day a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a wedding hosted by an anti-Taliban tribal leader, and insurgents publicly hanged someone who they labeled a spy for local troops.

A suicide attack ripped through a wedding party in full swing in the Taliban's heartland in southern Afghanistan late Wednesday, killing 40 people and wounding dozens more, officials said. (Allauddin Khan/AP Photo)The Afghan accused of spying was a 7-year-old boy.

He was hanged from a tree in front of a crowd in Helmand's Sangin district, where more than a thousand British troops are based. He was the son and grandson of prominent tribal leaders, one of whom had recently spoken out against the Taliban, according to local journalists.

"A 7-year-old boy cannot be a spy," President Hamid Karzai said in a press conference in Kabul. "A 7-year-old boy cannot be anything but a 7-year-old boy, and therefore hanging or shooting to kill a 7-year-old boy ... is a crime against humanity."

Time we leveled some Taliban mosques, entire Taliban villages, etc.

An idea just occurred to me. How about the Paki’s hanging 100 Taliban prisoners for retaliation?

Hanging an entire Taliban village, even incliding their goats, would be better.

I don’t think Afghanis are actually Arabs, but they certainly act enough like them now that they have been Islamicized that I don’t suppose we need to quibble over your quote, so I’ll add one: “The Arab is either under your foot or at your throat.” (some 19th century British soldier, I think.)

Oh... but they are the religion of peace... they must have meant to report that a bunch of angry right-wing radical tea-partiers showed up and took over the otherwise peace loving humanitarian islamo-victims. /sarc
Seriously, they are nothing but a bunch of sick animals, they make cavemen look like rocket scientists.

>”Islam is evil.”

Arabs, in general, are evil. The boy was hanged in front of a crowd? (Bangs head on wall!) WTF!!! Why didnt the crowd do something?

Would that happen here? NO! The crowd would have done SOMETHING!

W...T...F... is WRONG with those people over there?

Here you go. Plant some strategically positioned Nukes, and we get the >F< out of there, then detonate them!

Afghanistan = NON EXISTENT

Afghanistan Arabs = NON EXISTENT

Afghanistan Arab Muslims = NON EXISTENT

Afghanistan Arab Muslims who hang 7 year old boys = NON EXISTENT

Afghanistan Arab Muslims who WATCH 7 year old boys get hanged = NON EXISTENT

WTF is the problem here?!!!?!?!?!?

To hell with those Sons A B1TCHES!

I’m just curious why there are any Taliban left alive after 9/11?

Sometimes I’m just without words. Islam is satanic.

We need to start hanging Taliban from trees as well. Take a picture of this 7 year old boy and staple it onto their forehead. If you don’t have a stapler, use a hammer & a nail.
