Taliban militants beheaded a headmaster in southern Afghanistan in the latest fatal attacks targeted at teachers and schools. The killers forced his wife and children to watch the murder.
Malim Abdul Habib, 45, was killed at his home near Qalat, capital of Zabul province, on Tuesday night. He had been headmaster of the Shaikh Mata Baba High School for two months.
"Four armed Taliban came to my uncle's house at 1am," said his nephew Abdullah Hakim, 25. "They told him he had to go with them. When he refused they stabbed him in the stomach in the yard and then cut off his head."
The killing follows other recent attacks on schools and teachers, particularly those educating girls, in the insurgency-afflicted south of the country.
Under the Taliban interpretation of Sharia law female education is banned.
Since the fall of the Taliban the Afghan government claims that more than five million Afghans, many of them women, have returned to education.
But Kabul's education director, Mohammed Nabi Khushal, said only 70 of the province's 170 schools are currently open because of repeated arson attacks and threats against teachers by the insurgents.
Shaikh Mata Baba school had both male and female students, he said.
Mr Habib, who had seven children, was well known in the area as a teacher with more than two decades experience.
Relatives said he had previously taught children injured by mines for the Belgian charity Handicap International.
Deteriorating security forced Handicap International to suspend its operations in Zabul four months ago, a spokesman for the charity said.
Habib's murder follows the killing of another teacher by suspected Taliban militants at a school in nearby Helmand province on Dec 14.
Mohammed Laghmani was shot dead at the school gate. Provincial officials said he had ignored repeated warnings to stop teaching female students.
Allah must be one of the most insecure 'gods' in the known universe, if he needs to kill folks like this to force adoration in this life.
All the more reason to beat these foul mongrels!
Someone needs a trip to Tolerance University.
:) HA!
When you see a rabid dog you don't try to understand it. You kill it.
Unfortunate, but true.
Y'all need to skip on over to the other thread, as there's something there you might find amusing.
Y'all ain't gonna believe this crap!
This young man has seen death his whole life. America should be thankful that we have committed ourselves to end this cycle of death. I can't help but think of his sad past and hope for a better future for him.
Allah really likes men much more than women. In fact, he rewards mass-murderers with eternal virgin rape-fests.
There you go!
The only 'religion' in the world so totally focused on women- covering them, silencing them, keeping them ignorant and helpless, mutilating them and killing them!
They loathe females and fear them- yet need them to make more martyrs for Allah, thereby defiling themselves; which only makes them hate them more.
Islam is a psychiatrists dream!
Maybe we should use this pathological fear of women- form some Hooters Battalion of young females in skimpy bikinis- with big snarking guns, of course!
:)
Allah must live in San Francisco.
James Reston, Jr. read an essay on NPR yesterday am, in which he said Rumsfeld had mischaracterized Islam repeatedly, blaming Muslims for world terrorism...when it's the fault of the US, illegally in Iraq, etc. and blundering around the world in general. The idea of Muslims actually being able to carry out the 'Caliphate', conquering of the world, or at least those parts they held back in 900 AD, is laughable. Ha Ha. They merely want to live in peace. For the benefit of NPR's knucklehead listeners, he threw in a description of the Caliphate and 'caliphs'. The last time I looked, Reston worked for the NYTimes. No mention of beheadings or the below the goat role of women in Islamic society. No mention of Iran's pursuit of nukes and stated desire to use them against the West and Israel. Evidently Reston thinks that's just more Muslim culture we should respect.
It really says a lot about those who actually buy into that 72 virgin thing doesn't it. Well we shouldn't be too surprised. After all, these cretans would rather mutilate their women than share a mutually rewarding experience with them.
"Am I inadequte? Well, you'll never know..."
Truly enlightened.
Yep, you don't analize snakes in the grass. You know you are dealing with one; so deal with it.
I couldn't put it any better.Good night to you.
I guess he's no longer the headmaster.
