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.

Nihilism is a belief in nothing. These Wahhabists believe in a religion of evil.

The ruling Imams in Saudi are Wahhabis. Are the Saudis funding these slaughters?

You are right. Aside from those poor girls that were blown up in the 1960s here in the US I cannot think of another group who has targeted children the way the Muslims have.

These murders are no different than the Thugee and should be exterminated with the same prejudice.

They do not wage a man’s war. Any evil lunatic can look strong when murdering children.

I remember reading about the school explosion in Liberty, TX that killed two hundred or more kids but that was due to a leaky gas line, this before a scent was added to gas and the reason it was. The kids complained about headaches for a week before the tragedy.

Just did a search. Are those the four black girls blown up by members of the KKK? A church?
