Pakistan: Taliban throwing acid in girls' faces to keep them from going to school

Women getting educated: haram. Acid thrown in the faces of women getting an education: halal.

"Pakistani Taliban target female students with acid attack," by Shaan Khan for CNN, November 3 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- It's the latest cruel tactic in the Pakistani Taliban's battle to stop girls and women from getting an education: acid thrown in their faces to scar them for life and deter others from following in their footsteps.

A doctor who treated the victims of an acid attack on a college van in the city of Parachinar in northern Pakistan last month told CNN that two girls had been left with severe burns to their faces.

The Pakistani Taliban have taken responsibility for the attack in threatening pamphlets distributed around the city. They also warn local girls against going to school, Dr. Shaban Ali said.

"We will never allow the girls of this area to go and get a Western education," said Qari Muhavia, the local Pakistani Taliban leader, when contacted by CNN by telephone.

"If and when we find any girl from Parachinar going to university for an education we will target her (in) the same way, so that she might not be able to unveil her face before others," Muhavia said....

Well now these "good" men demand total covering anyway so it won't actually matter - except of course for these poor and now uneducated girls. Wouldn't do to get out of a medieval total state of ignorance now would it?
My view? Well if the majority of muslims haven't the cojones to remove these idiots permanently from world society then they deserve all they get. The West should stand back and let them destroy one another. Better we should repatriate most so that the virus of Islam doesn't continue to destroy us.
I watched a rather stupid supposedly "Christian" tradition of Egyptian Copts "electing" their new "Pope" today "by the hand of God". I see little difference from the Muslim "allahu akbar" or the orthodox jews violently nodding their heads towards the wailing wall. Looks to me that all religions have the divine supremacy of stupidity.

"...supposedly "Christian" tradition..."

Since, with reference to Copts, you put words "Christian", "election" and "Pope" in quotation marks you obviously imply that the Copts are not Christian, their pope's election is not an election, while their pope is not a pope.

This is all very fascinating stuff you come up with. Now please, for the sake of those who, like myself, have no reason to question the authenticity of Copt's Christianity, had never suspected the integrity of the election of their Pope, or the legitimacy of the office of Copt's Pope would you mind to expand on and give some more substance to your highly original claim.

As for "the orthodox jews violently nodding their heads towards the wailing wall" and what, according to you, is a sign "divine supremacy of stupidity" of their religion, I called an orthodox Jew I know here, quoted your post and asked for his comment. He laughed (not exactly appreciatively) hearing your, "terribly contrived" (according to him), "divine supremacy of stupidity" bit . He also said something about stupid people's inclination to look for something stupid behind a thing they don't understand.
Otherwise, he said that very much like people who while immersed in music they love would tap their feet, or move their shoulders, sway back and forth or sideways, so do the Jews while immersed in activity which absorbs them on the deepest level. Which, I am glad to say, confirmed exactly what I thought about Jewish way to pray.
Anyway, it would be nice to hear your explanation what is behind your dismissing the authenticity of Christianity of Copts, their elections and their Pope.

You can worship a stone if you want to, as long as you don't throw it at me.
How exactly are you affected by these "Christian" or "Jewish" traditions?
As for the islamic satanic traditions, just ask the victims.
Man up, don't you dare compare the civilized man with the savage.

You wrote: 'Looks to me that all religions have the divine supremacy of stupidity.'

The 'dreary architecture of your soul'(Steely Dan) is pretty evident in your crass remark. Different religions have different ways of choosing a new leader. For example, Buddhists may have dreams about a mark or location that will identify the next Dalai Lama. High Lamas may also go to a holy lake called Lhamo Lhatso located in central Tibet and watch for a sign from the rippling waters of the lake.

So, Coptic Christians proceeding through their own traditions is as harmless a ritual as the Buddhists'.

However, you mention 'allahu akbar'. D'you know what happened to 3 of the first 4 Caliphs that headed up the murderous cult of Islam? They were murdered by other Muslims!

So, you really must resist the urge to try to apear superior by denigrating the harmless rituals of religions that Islam has sworn to annihilate.

I'm an Atheist, but I fully support religious ritual which is designed to ennoble believers, rather than enslave them and make them unthinking, unfeeling robots, as with Islam.
