Taliban threatenes to kill any girls attending schools in Pakistan. Times of India
Before I post the article it might be worth mentioning a few things as preface to those not as obsessed as I on watching groups like Taliban etc. The Taliban have had a campaign on as long as they have existed to maintain the Islamic idea that women should never be taught anything other than Koran and have in fact already blown up a large number of schools which dared teach females. As recently the Taliban issued a warning about the non playing or performing of music and shortly thereafter murdered 7 musicians, this is no idle threat. They have already murdered women who go to schools as we have seen also in Algeria and other nations under siege by Islamics or in already Islamic states. For those of you interested in the subject of women and Islam here is a truly excellent video by women who are dealing with the subject.
The video linked to above contains no graphic images whatsoever. It is just a set of short speeches by various activists including the most excellent Dr. Wafa Sultan. However I find it very disturbing and difficult to watch because of the information revealed so be warned. This video about women in Afghanistan however does contain graphic images. Also I have talked with a number of soldiers who have done tours in Afghanistan and I can assure all of you what is revealed in these two videos falls far far short of the horrors done to people in general by Taliban and women in particular. Most of what was reported to me, was beyond my own imagination for cruelty.

Taliban threaten to kill Pakistani schoolgirls: Officials
ISLAMABAD:Taliban extremists in Pakistan’s troubled northwest Swat valley have banned girls from attending school, threatening to kill any female students, officials said Thursday.
The threat was delivered this week by local Taliban commander Shah Durran in an address carried on an illegally-run radio station in the area, local officials told AFP.
“You have until January 15 to stop sending your girls to schools. If you do not pay any heed to this warning, we will kill such girls,” one official quoted the commander as saying.
“We also warn schools not to enrol any female students; otherwise, their buildings will be blown up.”
The mountainous Swat valley was until last year a popular tourist destination featuring Pakistan’s only ski resort.
But the region has been turned into a battleground since radical cleric Maulana Fazlullah, who has links to Pakistan’s Taliban movement, launched a violent campaign for the introduction of Islamic Sharia law in the valley.
Durran said local Taliban leaders were determined not to allow girls to attend school, saying: “We want to enforce the true Sharia in the area — for this, we are fighting and laying down our lives.”
Swat residents said Taliban fighters had already destroyed scores of government-run schools, leading some to set up private schools in their homes to educate girls.
An official at the Pakistani education ministry said there are about 1,580 schools registered in Swat — once known for its top-flight schools.
But the official, Naeem Khan, said: “Already Taliban militants have destroyed 252 schools, mainly those where girls and boys were studying together.”
Education has suffered badly in Swat as a result of the ongoing fighting between Taliban-linked militants and security forces, with only a handful of schools still open in the region’s main city Mingora, Khan said.
The government had reached a deal with the rebels in May to gradually pull out troops and introduce an Islamic justice system in exchange for an end to rebel attacks, but the violence eventually resumed.
BCF has post with a Petition going. Trying to stop the implimentation of Sharia Law which has become official in England. Like why are people adopting vicious, savage barbarian laws? In place of real Justice?
If Women do not watch it they will become piece by piece chattle. In honor of appeasement with dhimmitude by craven scoundrels.
Help fight Sharia
Xanthippa s’plains why and asks you to sign the petition.

Amazing! Last night because I was visiting with relatives, I watched a good deal more “network” TV than I usually do - including the local and national primetime news on NBC. While I did see a story about a dog shoplifting a rawhide chew toy from a store, ad nauseatum! This particular story was no where to be found.
Go figure!

I bet there was no coverage of the self declared independence of the Ruthenians either.
‘A small ethnic group living in the Carpathian Mountains, asked Russia on Dec. 23 to recognize their independence from Ukraine.’
This story is basically the same as Ossetia. Russia backs small independence group in order to have an excuse to move it’s military in to a neighbor nation and basically show who is in control. In fact Russia likely created this situation and its real news as well. I remain confident that the MSM missed it though I can’t be sure as I haven’t watched regular TV for about 20 years now.

Oh are the Pakistani girls not Muslims now because of other Muslims threatening them? “What you believe you believe, and what you dont want to believe you dont! What kind of way is that!” - Juror 10 (Twelve Angry Men).. But I wouldn’t expect you uneducated “Conservatives” to adore fine literature.
- Thanks again!

Before you start lecturing anyone on what fine literature is, let me assure you that rarely if ever, is fine literature a 1950s Hollywood movie. Secondly, any Muslim female who wishes an education is by definition secular as Islam strictly forbids that women be educated and if they must be, then in Koran only.
The evidence for this is in Koran Hadith and so on not to mention that this is specifically indicated in sharia law itself. Islam is NOT a race. It is a religious ethical legal and political system. If a person does not agree with it they are not Muslims no matter where they fall on the pantone chart. If they do agree with the principles of sharia and so on, then they are Muslim whether they are albino or black skinned with wine stains.
One may say then, that ‘Conservatives’ those of us that feel women have the same rights to seek a secular education including but not limited to, the study of great literature beyond the rays of 1950s television are in fact the ones who are educated while Muslims, those who feel that women should have no education as evidenced by constant and numerous attacks on any womens educational facility or indeed any facility that educates women at all from Canada (Montreal’s ecole polytecnique) to Afghanistan and men should study basically nothing but Islam and things that may advance the cause of global jihad are the uneducated ones by their very own defintions. Literature, art, Music are all forbidden in Islam but forcing children as young as six to be wives to men of fifty or older is just fine. Sorry, who are you insulting again? I think you may want to rethink your position on this. You lost before you began.
