Threatened by girls with books. "Taliban blow up Pakistan girls school: official," from Agence France-Presse, December 23:
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) - The Taliban blew up a girls' school in Pakistan's Khyber district, where troops are fighting against militants in the tribal region bordering Afghanistan, an official said Wednesday.
Militants detonated explosives overnight at the government-run school in Bazgarah town, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Peshawar, capital of the violence-plagued North West Frontier Province.
"The building had 21 rooms. All have been completely demolished," local administration chief Shafeerullah Wazir told AFP by telephone.
There were no casualties because the property was empty at the time.
"Taliban and their local allies are responsible. They are destroying educational institutions to avenge the military operation against their hideouts in the area," said Wazir.
"This was the ninth educational institution blown up in Khyber over the past six weeks," he added.
Islamist militants opposed to co-education and subscribers to sharia law have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in northwest Pakistan in recent years....
This school was paid for from the Jizya (free foreign aid from the UnitedKafir States of America to Pakistan - the land of Pure) by Joe Sixpack (US taxpayer). This particular government action in cooperation with the Taliban will justify the need for more Jizya from the Kafirs in the US Congress.
Sharia and Islam are the highest education that anyone needs to learn anyway, and it surely is above any girl's school curriculum for pete's sake.
No harm, no foul here. All well in the north west frontier.
What do livestock (women) need with a school anyway?
Yeah, because the Taliban weren't blowing up girls' schools and throwing acid in their faces before the Allied Forces arrived.
Big girls' education advocates, those Taliban. They're just mad about the war. That's it.
They are so threatened by education, what cowards.
Keep 'em barefoot, pregnant, and chained to the Koran.
Can't educate those slaves you know, they might get uppity.
