While the opponents of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week excoriate us for claiming that women face oppression under Sharia, the jihadists continue to...oppress women under Sharia.

"Girls’ school blown up in NWA," from [1] Agence France Presse (thanks to Dav):

MIRANSHAH: Pro-Taliban militants blew up a girls' school in restive tribal area bordering Afghanistan, security officials said on Sunday.

The school building was destroyed in the attack in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan region, after militants planted explosives there late Saturday, a security official said on condition of anonymity. "There were no casualties as the building was empty," he added. The attack came amid an upsurge in violence in Pakistan's deeply conservative tribal zone where militants consider female education un-Islamic.
