Taliban school massacre: What kind of men kill children?

Wahhabism is an ultra-conservative sect of Sunni Islam named for an eighteenth-century preacher and scholar.

Jamel Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist in Afghanistan during that period, is now head of al-Arab News Channel and a columnist for al-Hayat. At a meeting in Bahrain recently, Khashoggi told me that there has been a major, and unexplored change in Muslim culture, one that is not discussed in the West.

It is "raw Wahhabism," to use his words; this change, this nihilism, this desperation, this destruction of Afghan-Pakistani Pashtun culture. And equally, the terrible tactics of ISIS, which are no different from the Wahhabis in 1802, when they destroyed the Imam Hussein Mosque in Karbala, which Tamerlane spared. And which ISIS now wants to attack again in Iraq.

The Taliban are insecure about their lack of formal education. This is one reason why they destroyed schools. A girl in traditional rural Pashtun culture will disappear into the family compound once she reaches puberty, never to be seen again by an outsider.

But the Taliban, in the 1990s, as they became exposed to the outside world, began to realize the importance of girl's education. There were more girls in school in Afghanistan under the Taliban than any time in history, although the Western media never reported this. There are, of course, more girls in school, by far, today than ever before.

Many animals eat their own (Lions for one when they feel threatened by the off spring of another male), so to equate these animals to animals is a truism

Ok, with just a quibble. When animals eat their young no one is very surprised as it is a survival instinct. When these "men" kill children it is just plain evil.

The kind that should be captured and water boarded to find out who is scheduled for the next atrocity.

When reached for comment, Dianne Feinstein said, “Thank goodness nobody was waterboarded. That would have been cruel.”

The Bath School disaster was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by Andrew Kehoe on May 18, 1927, in Bath Township, Michigan, that killed 38 elementary school children and six adults and injured and least 58 other people.

I heard that many of the children were beheaded. Just unimaginable.

Demon possessed animals is my only response.

What kind of men kill children? That’s easy. Muslims, the cult of death that ultimately needs to be eradicated.

Islam is EVIL plain and simple. They are savages that is the kind of filth who kill children, who burn a teacher alive and force the children to watch..who scream out “The children are under the benches, kill them.” That is what Islam is all about, they kill each other. I doubt they went to each kid asking them if they are Muslim, they didn’t care, they kill because that is what these pieces of crap are all about

The pisslam variety, for one.

And pushing a button to expunge every vestige of it from the face of the earth would certainly be on my 'three wishes' list.

I am reminded of this scene from “Apocalypse Now” about horror:

“Animals “

Animals wouldn’t do this. They aren’t motivated by hatred.
