Sharia Alert from Kandahar: "Insurgents torch school in Afghanistan," from AFP (thanks to Twostellas):
KANDAHAR: Militants set ablaze a secondary school in Afghanistan’s southern city of Kandahar on Friday, authorities said, in at least the third attack on educational institutes this year.Gunmen set fire to classrooms, books and offices at the Mian Abdul Hakim school for boys and girls, said Mohammad Anwar, head of the Kandahar province Education Department. “They burnt to ash everything, the building, books and chairs,” he told AFP. More than 1,200 students study at the school, including up to 200 girls, said Anwar.
He blamed the attack on “enemies of Afghanistan,” a term often used to refer to Taliban insurgents.
In a similar incident on January 31, militants burned down a primary school in the province of Logar, near Kabul. On January 1, a newly built school for refugee children was torched in the eastern Nangarhar province.
The tactic appears to be intended to disrupt progress in education...
You don't say!
Goons and barbarians.
Education bad! Ignorance good! Thinking hurts our heads! Burn down school! Feel better! Head stop hurting.
if they let the kids become educated and read and write instead of being illiterate and only being able to regurgitate their cults book of lies aka the quran by rote they might start to question it and they cant have that happen
If you think you become an infidel.
Yet again, our manpower and money is wasted, for the unpardonable sin of educating girls.
"Winning the hearts and minds" of the Afghan people just doesn't seem to be working, somehow.
Islam: stopping thinking since 622 A.D.
Slaves must be kept ignorant.
It's the way the imams preserve their power.
