Taliban dupe boy, 12, into planting bomb - Times Online

On his face is an angelic smile, in his pocket a blood-stained 50-rupee note. Ishaq Khan, a 12-year-old schoolboy, was given the money – equivalent to just 40p – to carry a bag to a spot in a busy bazaar in Kohat, a town in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan.

As he walked away, the bag exploded, throwing him to the ground with a shattered foot and leaving shoppers dead and wounded all around him.

If anyone doesn't think we should seak out and destroy these anaimals are crazy. Using Children isn't that against the Quran.
 
Islam, the religion of Palestinian and Muslim extremist apologizers....and peace.

Yep, nowhere in the world has a group of extremists EVER perverted a religion, it must be that all followers of Islam are terrorists right? :roll:

There is no denying that the "protests" against Islamic fundamentalist terrorism by non-terrorist moslems has been several degrees short of scathing.

Or is there an avalanche of fatwas against the Taliban that is going unnoticed?

Given the many webistes out there that Muslims protesting radical Islam, we have seen villages attacking the Taliban in Pakistan, Iraqi civilians fighting against Al-Qaeda, as well as in Afghanistan, so I think there is indeed a sizable revolt against Radical Islam.

Islam is perverted as a recruiting and motivational tool. The reason for the attacks is purely political. Which is why you would never see any of the leaders perform these suicide bombings and get their 40 virgins. They know it's all bull**** to scare the pawns into performing the leaders political agenda..

Uhh the Taliban's approval rating in both Afghanistan and Pakistan is something like 4%. When the Pakistani military cannot or will not fight the Taliban in certain areas, the local villagers often take it upon themselves to fight the Taliban and kick them out of their cities.

So yes, they ARE going unnoticed...but only by you.

As long as we're clear that it's the people who pervert the religion, and not the religion itself which is the problem, then I agree completely.

When it comes to politics, religion and the people are the problem.

Oh go get a new line and response ...

Lets blame the religion for the actions of human beings :roll:

Well, since it's fashionable to do that when discussing Jews and Christians, why should Moslems get treated any differently?

The RELIGION is the problem.

The religion hides the women in shame, and turns the whole concept of sex into a poisonous cesspool of evil and sin, to name just one thing wrong with it.

To name another thing wrong, the religion rejects all change, all original thought, all thought of individual or societal advancement through the enhancement of individual freedom and respect for the rights of others.

All religions have problems of this nature, after all, one can't be teaching the perfect word of God if things keep changing. But Islam is clearly one of the very worst religions in the world today.

There are very few people who claim that Judaism and Christianity (rather than people who happen to adhere to those faiths) are responsible for most acts of domestic terrorism. And at any rate, it certainly isn't "fashionable" to claim such. It's much more "fashionable" to take the ignorant stance that you have taken regarding Islam.

Islam is a very diverse religion. Does the Qu'ran advocate violence? Of course...it was written during a time of relative barbarism, just like the Bible and Torah. Is Islam itself directly responsible for violence today? Of course not, that's just stupid.

Most acts of terrorism originated in a festering, impoverished Arab culture...then were exported to Central Asia and the Horn of Africa. There are plenty of Islamic countries (the majority, in fact) where people DON'T routinely engage in terrorism. :roll:

Have you ever been to an Islamic country? Very few of them do those things. Try going to Turkey or Lebanon or Iran or Pakistan or Indonesia or Malaysia, for example. Many people (both men AND women) have very liberal attitudes toward womens' rights...and you'll find a lot more women in T-shirts than you will in burkas.

Then how do you explain the Islamic Renaissance, while Europe was still stuck in the Dark Ages and Middle Ages?

No. Islam is just the religion that happened to be dominant in a festering culture (the Arabian peninsula) that produced a virulent ideology, then exported it to other Islamic cultures. You're absolutely right that all religions have problems...but it doesn't make sense to blame the post-WWI problems of the Middle East on a 1,400 year old religion. That's remarkably shortsighted.

Thats BS. Its not the religion thats the worst in the world today. Its the idiots who follow it thats the worst in the world today (not all of them, you know what i mean).
Im very pro-secular and do not believe in the concept of religion or religiously shared values in society. I think it only serves to destabilize and essentially, doom a nation. I believe in shared moral beliefs that are purely based on rational ways because everybody can believe in them despite there background or upbringing. The unforgivable actions of Islam in recent days have, in all fairness, unrightfully labeled Islam as evil, which i dont think is right.
 
I also think its very ignorant to say Islam is the "worst" or is bad. Thats pathetic trash talk. I know many very nice muslim people on this forum, Laila being one of them, and many in real life too that i can call my close friends. It all depends on how one inteprets religion. Religion isnt an interpretation of something, its something that needs to be interpreted by an indivisual.

The Taliban and Islam are not synonymous to anyone but the most daft or disingenuous of observers.

The Taliban is a blight on the religion and should be hunted down, cut into pieces, and fed to pigs bit by bit while their supporters watch.
 
More cases of using kids are popping up around the world.

This can be attributed to many things..

1. Kids can get closer to targets.
2. Casualties amongst the enemy has forced them to expand recruitment to children.

etc etc.

Doesn't matter a kid with a rifle will kill you just as easily as a 90 year old can kill you with an 16th Century matchlock.

If caught they will likely be easier to re-educate.
We can feel sorry for them.
It will be rougher on those who kill them in battle.

Past that... oh well... its war.
 
[...] If anyone doesn't think we should seak out and destroy these anaimals are crazy.

Our interventionism is precisely the reason why movements like Taliban get any support.


Using Children isn't that against the Quran.

Quran is for making children (i.e. four wives, barefoot and pregnant).

For winning an asymmetrical war, the most moral method is one that is most effective.

I don't think that all Muslims are terrorists, but you will notice that the outcry again terrorism in the Muslim world is very, very small.

So, I think that the overwhelming majority of the world's Muhammadans are at least accessories, before and after the fact to terrorism. I certainly invite them to prove the contrary.

Have you been watching the news at any time in the last year? Pakistani villagers are PERSONALLY fighting the Taliban off, even when their own government can't or won't. They hate the Taliban and don't want them in their communities.

And I applaud them! Now what percentage of the Muslim world does that represent? And was this a rebellion against Terrorism in the name of Allah, or a response by the villagers to terroistic tactics used against themselves? Did the villagers object in any material way when the Taliban were attacking people far away?

A single tree growing in an otherwise flat field does not a forest make.
