Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a sports day at a United Nations-operated elementary school in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing a bodyguard of a local Fatah leader and wounding seven people.
Although no one has yet claimed credit for the attack, Muslim extremists had earlier visited the al-Amareya school in Rafah, warning authorities not to hold the event, because boys and girls were taking part together. The gunmen said the event "taught children immoral values."

The event sponsors were warned .. so what happened was their fault.
/sarcasm
TROP are renowned throughout the “Ummah” for their Manson family values..
I just forwarded the article to all the liberals I know.
Palestinian al-Qaeda objects to co-ed sports day, so they kill in Gaza
Well of course they do. Killing is what they do. If you don’t believe exactly what they do, then you must die, and it matters not weather you’re a Christian, Hindu, Atheist, Jew, or Muslim.
They’ve tried to do something similar in Afghanistan.
Don’t Mess With the Bride Price

February 15, 2007: In Afghanistan, the Taliban’s “war on schooling for girls” has been running into resistance from many tribes. There are a number of reasons why these otherwise religiously conservative, tradition-bound tribesmen have decided to resist the Taliban’s efforts to curb education for girls.
Although in many traditional societies (not just Islamic ones, either) women have second-class status, behind the scenes the story can be quite different. In Islam (as in Latin America, China, India, etc.), women are often important managers of family businesses and property. They are also frequently valued behind-the-scenes advisors to husbands and sons who are the tribal leaders.
Many tribesmen also view their daughters as valuable assets. A carefully arranged marriage can bring important political or economic connections. There can also be immediate monetary benefits in the form of “bride price.” An educated daughter is thus inherently more “valuable” than an illiterate one.
Thus Taliban’s efforts to block education for girls is seen as a direct blow against some tribal traditions. The Taliban has apparently begun to notice this, and in at least one instance has publicly has stated it will no longer target schools, and that it intends to open special schools for girls. This message, however, seems not to have reached some Taliban operatives, who continue to attack schools, and it certainly has not convinced many of the tribesmen who have been victims of these attacks.
These people are so sick. They should all be put way in cages.
“taught children immoral values”
But killing random people does not?
So killing people isn't immoral, right. Kids playing together, immoral, killing them for it, not immoral. I've just got to get all this sh** straight for when we are a leftist utopia, wouldn't want to get shot being immoral.
