The bullet-riddled walls and roofs of the Red Mosque's interior tell the story of a fierce battle. The mosque, located in a central district of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, was stormed by troops two days ago to clear out Islamic militants holed up inside. The government says 10 soldiers, one policeman and 75 militants were killed in the fighting and the week-long standoff that preceded the final assault. For six months, the halls and rooms of Jamia Hafsa, a women's seminary inside the mosque, were home to a new breed of Islamic hardliners - women clad from head to toe in black Islamic veils, and wielding batons and assault rifles.

Now they should bulldoze the entire site and not allow it to be rebuilt again . That should be the fate of any mosque that allows itself to be hijacked into the jihad insanity.

Build a scale replica of the twin towers on the site.

If I am supposed to feel bad after having read this, it didn’t work. The buildings should be destroyed and salt deposited on the site.

Imagine that — a bullet-riddled mosque.
Islam in a nutshell.

The students need to be re-educated too.

This is where the San Bernadino shooter gal appears to have come from.
