The world breathed a sigh of relief that Pakistani jihadists had failed in their attempt to use nine-year-old Sohana Jawed to carry a bomb in an attack that would have killed her. Now, Afghan jihadists tried, and this time, it worked. Perhaps this was a copycat attack; in any event, Sohana's case is no longer an anomaly, but part of the jihadist playbook in the region.
Where is the outrage? As with yesterday's hospital bombing -- which reportedly hit a maternity ward the hardest -- all of Afghanistan, and indeed all of the Muslim world ought to be furious. If there ever were a time for righteous indignation, this would be it. But if protests over the Muhammad cartoons and the Florida Qur'an burning have shown us the ferocity of anger that something said to be "against Islam" can provoke, the relative silence in the face of these acts is deafening.
"Afghanistan: Eight-year-old girl 'used in attack'," from BBC News, June 26:
An eight-year-old girl has been killed after insurgents used her in a bomb attack on police in southern Afghanistan, the government has said.
The interior ministry said insurgents gave the girl a package and told her to take it to a police vehicle, detonating it as she approached.
No-one else was killed in the explosion, in Uruzgan province.
The incident came a day after an attack on a hospital which killed at least 38 people in the east of the country.
Dozens were injured. Elderly people, pregnant women and children were said to be among the casualties.
'No respect'
A statement by the ministry described the Uruzgan incident as a "crime and a shameful act".
The area where the alleged incident happened is very remote, and it was not possible to independently verify the reports.
"The child, pure-hearted and in good faith, took the bag and moved towards the police vehicle," it said.
"As she got close to the police vehicle, the enemy detonated the bomb by remote control, killing the innocent child."
The governor of Char Cheno district, where the attack took place, told the BBC the girl was from the nearest village.
She was told nothing would happen to her, he said, adding that the perpetrators had "no boundary, no respect for anything".
Correspondents say insurgents have recruited both adult women and recently male children to carry out suicide attacks, though the Taliban denies recruiting children.
Genesis 16:11-13 (New International Version - UK)
11 The angel of the LORD also said to her:
You are now with child
and you will have a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,
for the LORD has heard of your misery.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
towards all his brothers.
King James Bible
But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
But the so-called religion of peace sees nothing immoral about murdering children to achieve its plan to enslave us all.
Vermin!
No outrage from the liberal left media - they are racist and xenophobic therefore don't believe that the little girls life or the policemen were worth anything. They see an anti Western jihadist idea as being of far greater value than human life.
It makes me feel sick to my stomach.
How does Alice Walker feel about this? Bet ya it ain't purple. She's on the wrong boat, to the wrong port.
Of course not. .the MSM is quite comfortable vacilating between cryes of 'Islamophobia' and 'Right wing extremists' to worry themselves or their gullible audiences with the unpleasant facts.
you can tell how islamists think about little girls... maybe one of their prayers could be"thank allah for littel girls"
They are not humans. Only demons wrapped in human flesh would do something so disgusting. When is the world going to wake up? Only Islam is producing so called human beings that are capable of such acts of unbelievable cruelty. I hate Islam so much. I hate it I hate it I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if this little girl was married yet? And did the jihadists get permission from the girl's "owner"? If so, was that her father or her husband? Or maybe they just traded papa a few goats for her.
And the Muslim parents of the young child are not complaining.
How do we make sure that every Western politician and social leader gets to read this story? If this doesn't persuade the world how utterly low and cowardly these people are, then nothing will. In the meantime, the US is "negotiating" with the Taliban. How can you negotiate with a bunch of religious bandits who have no qualms about tricking their own people into dying for their stupid ideology? And now an 8 year old girl is deliberately blown up "by remote". Cowards!
What a weak religion Islam is. Not strong enough to take the slightest criticism, to weak to take a joke or a cartoon at their own expense, and too cowardly to do their own dirty work.
There is an especially hot place in Hell reserved for the mastermind of this plot.
What use will she have of all those virgins ?! But, then, maybe it'll be her pops/hubby who'll get 'em... Hence the lack of complaints on that front...?
But, hey ! We're seeing that women are now getting equal rights in islam ! That's something, huh ?
8-/
Hard to get your head round something like that.
And these idiots think they are even remotely intelligent enough to rule the world?
If Islam were to take over the human race would be dead within 5 years.
Don't worry everyone! Obama is going to have peace talks with the Taliban. Once the Obamessiah speaks to them, they will amend their ways and this will never happen again.

Cableguy, I feel your pain. I hate it too. It's OK to hate EVIL!

Outrage? What do you mean, outrage? Y'see, the hospital bombings and remote-control-bombings-of-little-girls have to be done by **infidels** for there to be ferocious outrage either by muslims or by MSM. But since it wasn't the infidels, um.. yawn... those taliban are bad people...they...yawn....shouldn't have done....yawn...that....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
zzzzzzzz........uh..... No wait a minute..... All the infidels have to do is draw cartoons or burn 1(one) book.... for there to be ferocious outrage....... by the muslims or the MSM.
every newsagency in the world should be running this as front page news. of all the callousness, the stonings, pack rapes, slavery, outcry and playing the victim, the general treatment of women and dhimmitude, beheadings and riots, this takes the cake. the cruel, shameful inhumanity is gut wrenching.
you bastards.
this poor girl. obviously from the lowest rung in islam. what sort of life had she been subject to in her 8 years leading up to this? god peodophillia is rampant in the 'ghan. no guardian to interject and forbid this. on the contrary. she may have been offered up by her family. its not unrealistic to consider. she may have even been married.
this poor childs plight, ending in the most barbaric of acts, perpetrated by hate and cruelty. that my species can continue to do this is embarressing and sickening. all in the name of a merciful god. this should be a u n issue, and amnesty issue and a red cross issue. an international government pressure/shame blitz. its lower than low.
what is an 8 yo girls version of 72 virgins?
Can you see the utter foolishness of claiming that all religions lead to the same GOD?
I sent the BBC link to CNN earlier today, and asked them to PLEASE broadcast the story. Nothing. It's not even on their website.
You can lead a leftist to knowledge, but you can't make them think.
You don't understand the thinking of the followers of this false prophet.
1)Any act, no matter how cruel, disgusting or evil, is halal if it promotes or advances islam. So using little girls or boys as a delivery vehicle for ordinance is halal if it advances the cause.The ends justify the means.
2)Any act, no matter how small,innoucuos or trivial that hinders the advance of islam is haram. So drawing rude pictures of the false Prophet or throwing away a business card with his name on it is haram. And rightly deserves the death penalty.
3)Bonus points are awarded in the afterlife and among the believer community on earth for heinous acts. The more heinous the act, the more evidence of how devout the perpetrator is.
4)The child used in this attack may be admitted to allahland, but she isn't entitiled to any greater reward because she isn't a jihadi. A jihadi knows they are at war and if they die conducting that war they get points for that. But it appears this child did not know she was conducting a act of jihad. She was just a tool. So the credit goes to the jihadis who sent her. Besides, she was just a piece of property, equal in value to a donkey or two with no inherent worth of her own. Her only worth was in the work she could perform,whether that work was as a sex machine, a farm machine, a housework appliance, a baby machine or a ordinance delivery system. The ultimate in the objectification of women and girls. But none of that is really very important because all cultures are equal, right?
Ain't allah merciful? Ain't the believers the best of people?
Hope this helps clear things up for all my fellow filthy kufar.
allah is not the god of Abraham or Jesus.
A god like allah does not deserve the respect of men.
If the mastermind of this plot gets caught and is given the boot, thumbscrew, rack, a few other nasty implements of 15th century torture, and then death by a thousand cuts minus the initial stab to the heart, I would be tempted to kiss the judge's hand and buy the executioner a meal.
I literally felt ill reading this article. These scumbags have hit an all time low. As much I as I think we need to just get the hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan, stories like this make me feel we need to just go in there and clean house - take these monsters against a wall and just end their wicked lives.
How do these people live at night doing something like this?! Some poor, sweet, innocent girl was just used as a human bomb - she probably didn't even know what was going on. And this is apparently OK with these scumbags because they think she's with god now. Shame on them ! !
