Taleban threaten to blow up girls’ schools if they refuse to close

The Taleban have ordered the closure of all girls’ schools in the war-ravaged Swat district and warned parents and teachers of dire consequences if the ban is flouted.

In an announcement made in mosques and broadcast on radio, the militant group set a deadline of January 15 for its order to be obeyed or it would blow up school buildings and attack schoolgirls. It also told women not to set foot outside their homes without being fully covered.

Yeah, how dare we meddle in the affairs of foreign nations......:roll:

Poor girls, they should be able to have access to education without fear
 
The Taliban wants schools set up for boys first.

Then later girls schools will be allowed.

That is their culture.

The West should back off and leave them alone.

The Taleban is not Afghanistan, it is one part only.

The strength of the Taliban in Afghanistan is a direct result of the War in Iraq's drain on our military's resources. The Afghan War was actually justified, and letting the area lapse back into extremism represents a failure of our foreign policy.

“Female education is against Islamic teachings and spreads vulgarity in society,” Shah Dauran, leader of a group that has established control over a large part of Swat district in the North West Frontier Province, declared this week.

Sounds pretty permanent to me

Really? Show me were this is the case. I read it exactly the opposite. :roll:

What you say here is bull. If these wierdos have their way, the girls in Pakistan will never be educated. Why did you say something that is obviously not true?

Course, I don't think we, the US, ought to directly interfere in Pakistan. The government there needs to kill its own roaches.

Oh shut the hell up. The Taliban are a collection of terrorist assholes who need to die and rot in hell.
 
Free the women.

Actually the Taleban are not part of Afghanistan, they are in fact a Political grouping of the Islamic Wahabi sect of Islam within Afghanistan.

The Koran does not forbid girls /women being taught in Schools, only the Taleban and Wahabi Islamists see any danger in this.

The way to accomplish this is to make the Taliban and related fiends dead.

Can you accept such a trade? Nothing else is viable.

Of course we a could all just make ourselves feel better by going on about what we wish were true.

I call "bull!"

While I don't agree with their actions, I still don't see how it is any of our business. There are a myriad of cultures and religions that we aren't going to agree with here in the US. Why do we feel the need to force our own views of "right" and "wrong" down the throats of others? Let them handle their own affairs. I realize, though, that by letting them handle their own business it is hard to pin the "good guy" badge on our lapel.

I agree with leaving them alone so long as it is understood that they will never receive a molecule of aid from our public coffers, and that futurte threats form them will be met with an overwhelming punitive response.
 
Nuke 'em first. Then cut off the welfare.

Yeah so they can impliment their quality part of the education of how the children can grew up to suicide bomb any other ideals and receive 72 virgins for their good deed. (get'em while they're young and brainwash'em).

These are the people who sheltered and harbored the perpetrators of 911....


No quarter.
 
Yes, but it doesn't change the fact that this particular act has nothing to do with us.

It does if we're the ones who built the school and promised to keep its students safe.

Well, then we had no business building such schools or making such promises.
