Taliban shoots 11 year-old Christian boy in head
Meanwhile, the Pakistani embassy in D.C. considers such stories "exaggerated." "Pakistan: Christians ready to die for their faith," from Spero News, June 14:
An 11-year-old boy was shot in the head while attending church near Karachi. Christians live in dread of the Taliban, which is demanding conversion to Islam or death. I am sorry I could not speak to you then because we were just about to begin the funeral service for Irfan, an 11 year-old boy who was shot in the head. He passed away yesterday.
That was the opening line of the e-mail from Fr Mario Rodriguez, National Director for the Pontifical Mission Societies in Pakistan. Several hours later, Fr Mario was able to give a few more details as we spoke over the phone.
Irfan was shot in the head a few days ago when the Taliban attacked the church in Tiasar Town near Karachi, where 300 of the 700 local Christian families are Catholic. He had massive brain injuries and was on life-support when I visited him in the hospital on Friday. He died on Monday and was buried today, Tuesday. His parents are devastated and his mother hasnt eaten or drunk since the incident....

I think this could be. We need more information.

The white house is closely monitoring the situation and will tell us what to think when it polls a decision.

Taliban men are such cowards.
Indeed they are!

The recent violence in Karachi has gone virtually unreported, as the more spectacular attacks in Lahore and Peshawar and the fighting in the mountains dominates the headlines.
The Talibs are moving into Karachi; they are finding resistance from the migrants from India circa 1947.
Talibs want to envelop Karachi in chaos, their acts are designed to cause retaliation against the large Pathan population in the city, sparking further reprisals.
The local police have their hands full.
Plus, Karachi’s port is Pakistan’s lifeline.
“Plus, Karachis port is Pakistans lifeline.”
I didn’t know that.
Thanks Swarthyguy.
WTF, liberals! The peace-loving Muslims will also come after your ass. Drink your latte while you can!
The shooter has had a consultation with his Imam. The Imam probably said, that after a consultation with `The Prophet` on `the other side`, that shooting the infidel boy in the head just earned him the 72 virgins, even if he doesn’t perform any other act.
The funeral was part of ‘the exaggeration”, I suppose.
The only good Taliban is a dead Taliban.”
Same category as rattlesnakes.
