Taliban school massacre: What kind of men kill children?
cbs news ^ | 12-16-2014 | Jere Van Dyk

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.

They have been spreading their “religion” by sword and flame for over 13 centuries. That’s what they do.

Killing the children of your enemies is a very old and useful tactic. Missing generations don’t come back to make new wars.

These people know how to fight. If not for our superior technology they would have ruled us long ago.

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.

Birmingham AL church bombing. I don’t think the girls were the target, but bombing a church...

I scanned this... there really seemed to be no connected paragraphs... like it was a 6th graders report using the World Book Encyclopedia. Then at the end it says something to the effect, “and, by the way, 140 people were killed today”.

Animals need to be put down, when will we band together and annihilate every last bastion that harbor these parasites and destroy them once and for all, how many of our children must die at the hands of these animals. Until we pick up the big stick and drop the flowers our so called leaders want us embrace we will continue to lose our families. We must hit and hit them hard in every point on the globe

Yes, well I’m not sure it was the KKK, but they were killed in a church in Birmingham, AL. I don’t know that the bombers knew they (or anyone) would be there.

Condoleeza Rice was a schoolmate of at least one of the girls.

I wonder if anyone was asking “what kind of men kill children” when the religious police in Saudi Arabia forced dozens of little girls to go back into a burning building because they were dressed in their night clothes. The answer to the question is Muslim men. Other radicals, like Democrats, have their own way of killing children. Men without God, or men with false gods are capable of doing anything to anyone, including children. Witness Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and our own thriving abortion clinics.

The name has nothing to do with it.

Being Pro-Amnesty, Pro-Common Core, and a Globalist does.

No more traitorous Chamber of Commerce controlled RINOS!
