Teacher beheaded by militants
Herald Sun ^ | 8 March 2006

SUSPECTED Islamic militants have beheaded a teacher in a lawless Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials said today.

Said Badshah, 35, who ran a private school, failed to return home yesterday in Barwan village, near Wana, the main town in restive South Waziristan tribal agency, a local administration official said.

His headless body was found in a remote area this evening, the official said on condition of anonymity.

Officials suspect militants were behind Mr Badshah's murder as he had no known enemies in the area and he was the son of a pro-government tribal elder.

Militants believed to be linked with al-Qaeda and Taliban remnants have recently slaughtered several tribal elders and their relatives for supporting a military operation in the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

In the neighbouring North Waziristan district some 140 militants have been killed during days of clashes with security forces that erupted on Sunday.

The area's main town remains under a curfew.

Hundreds of Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters have sneaked across the mountainous border from Afghanistan in the past four years, finding support from conservative Pakistani tribesmen.

Pakistan launched military operations in the tribal areas in October 2003 and has more than 70,000 troops along the Afghan border.

Well, my naive guess is that somebody was ticked off that the guy was
running a real school and not a Wahhabi madrassa.

In Islam, off with your head for reading, writing, speaking
or thinking the wrong thoughts is just standard operating procedure!

"Nice alliance you liberals have there, siding with people who routinely behead all teachers."

Remember they said we don't have "real" jobs.

Every time they behead a Christian, I flush another Koran...
Seriously, I have defiled dozens of Korans in the last few months. It is strangely liberating...

I wonder how many megatons would be required in order to sterilize that region.

Any atomic scientists in the room to enlighten me?

Hmmm. You just gave me an idea - ballistics tests to determine which caliber of ammunition will best penetrate a copy of the Koran.

Too bad I'm not in the Boy Scouts anymore - that would make a kick-a$$ merit badge!

I think I'll run down to Half Price Books on my day off and pick up a copy so I can see how well the pages work as litterbox liners when my kitties do their business.

The man who was beheaded was a Muslim. The beheaders were Muslim. Why attack every Muslim, even the ones who are beheaded for not following the Jihadist line closely enough? I credit the man for trying to do something he thought was right and that we would probably agree with, but he can receive no credit at all if every Muslim is equally detested as a member of "the religion of pieces", etc...no matter if they are the beheaders or if they are their victims.

That is a wonderful idea. Also, I am tearing each page out to make paper airplanes...I hope the irony isn't lost on these I-SLAMO-kooks...
