A 14-year-old activist and blogger was shot in the head on her way back from school in Pakistan’s Swat Valley on Tuesday, the latest in a troubling string of incidents involving children in Pakistan. Malala Yousafzai was injured along with two travel companions when Taliban assailants opened fire on their vehicle in the town of Mingora. By evening, Yousafzai, who started blogging about the Taliban’s ban on girls’ education in Swat when she was 11, was in stable condition and en route to a military hospital in Peshawar.

I cannot comprehend the mind that rationalizes the murder of a child. This is a new low in Islamic barbarism.

They have always been this savage. It has always been, “do what I say or I will kill you” with them. Its why the only response is to crush them — there is no reasoning with this mentality.

No, it’s not a new low for the jihadis — in this case the Taliban.

They have hung children they thought were spies, kidnapped children, used children as human shields, other abuses of children, and trained/still training children as soldiers and suicide bombers.
