Peshawar school attack: Taliban's 'revenge' for Malala Yousafzai's Nobel Peace Prize
IBTimes ^ | 12-16-2014 | Ludovica Iaccino

The Taliban has killed dozens of children at a Peshawar school in a revenge mission for Pakistani schoolgirl activist Malala Yousafzai being awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.

Ahmed Rashid, an expert on the Islamic militants, told the BBC the insurgents had various reasons to attack the school, one of which was to send a message to the supporters of Malala, who advocates education for women and children.

In response to the events at the school in Pakistan, education campaigner Malala has condemned the "atrocious and cowardly" attack.

As reported by the Guardian, she said: "I am heartbroken by this senseless and cold-blooded act of terror in Peshawar that is unfolding before us. Innocent children in their school have no place in horror such as this.

"I condemn these atrocious and cowardly acts and stand united with the government and armed forces of Pakistan whose efforts so far to address this horrific event are commendable.

Burning teachers like human torches, exectuting kids, etc.

All because teaching a girl is an insult to their version of Islam.

But, the media will tell us that we are not allowed to jump to conclusions, because Obama has told us that Islam is a religion of Peace!!

Weren’t we told we have to have “empathy and understanding” for these people?

Seems someone who wants to be president said this.

Sounds like the media will blame this all on the committee that selects the Nobel winners, due to their insensitivity to the feelings of the Talibani Islamists.

It’s always something. There’s no way to live peacefully with these maniacs.

I'd say that little statement put the last nail in her coffin to put her out of the race. Her brain is NOT functioning properly...and everyone knows it.

And you can be sure, Bubba doesn't want her to run.

Do tell. What are some of the other "reasons"?

According to CBRNe News, there have been a number of chemical weapon attacks on girl’s schools in Afghanistan as well. You’d think that a CW attack on a school would get more attention. But using guns certainly does!

Beheadings, student massacres, child rape.....These barbaric jihadist lunatics do all this and more. They sleep well afterwards and even make videos of their vile crimes. Face it. They are spawned by Islamic culture that is simply not compatible with the values, institutions, scientific and social advances that constitute Western modernity. Muslim countries are doomed to remain bizarre , violent, impoverished backwaters. They cannot be changed by force or reason. Not one more brave young American should be sacrificed in these badlands. The West should prepare however for the inevitable huge migrations of desperate but still fervent refugees who will seek to enter the lands formerly known as Christendom. There of course will be vapid fools eager to welcome and embrace them.

Concealed carry. Don’t leave home without it. If you forget it, even once, go back and get it.

How many more innocents have to die horrible deaths, before this nation realizes what’s hunting them?

If the non-muslim world really cared about human life (and had the guts) this Islamic fueled horror could be brought to a halt everywhere in less than a month.

But it was much more important to fly thousands of people in hundreds of airplanes to Lima, Peru to talk about imaginary manmade climate change.

Maybe Obama will return his “Peas Prize” in protest... ...or maybe in solidarity...

Yep. And go to yahoo or any other place the general public is leaving comments and you have people saying Christians are just as violent. Maybe two thousand years ago. Useful idiots.
