Pakistan: "Unknown miscreants" destroy girls' school

Maybe they were Buddhists? Disgruntled nuns? At any rate, two women were also killed during clashes -- though none were sprayed in the face with acid, this time.

"Pakistan: Girls school destroyed by militants," from AKI, November 20 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):

Mingora, 20 Nov. (AKI/DAWN) - Four militants and two women were killed and several others sustained injuries while a girls’ school was destroyed in Pakistan.

The school was located in the area of Bar Bandai in the volatile Swat valley.

Military sources said the security forces pounded militant hideouts killing four and injuring several others on Wednesday in the ongoing search operation in the restive Swat region.

Curfew was imposed in the troubled areas of Kabal tehsil.

Two women were killed and four combatants were injured as some misfired shells fell on their houses in Khwazahkela tehsil.

The government girls’ primary school was destroyed by unknown miscreants by planting explosives in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday.

The four-room school building was completely destroyed and its furniture and records were damaged in the explosion.

Pakistan, Pakistan more like a head ache and a kind of love affair that has gone way beyond bad. It is more like a dependency relationship. I really do not know what to call this relationship with NATO and the US anymore. It is not an ally it is more like a convenience a cajoling on both sides. More money to Pakistan while it arms terrorists with weapons and attacks both India and the US troops as well as NATO.

Appeasing to Muslims does not work anymore. Maybe in the colonial times it might have had some advantages but now there are none. As a matter fact it is dangerous and undermines and is threatening what the west and other free countries should be fighting for.

You do not know how dangerous it is to let girls go to school. Next thing you know they will start reading and then they will stop marrying 40 year old goat herders like they are supposed to.

Soon civilization as the mullahs know it will all be over with.

the mullahs/immans fear one thing and that is knowledge, once the masses can read and write, they will find out the koran is nothing but a big hoax, and all their misery cannot always be blamed on infidels such as Jews and Christians. Next thing the masses will be blaming their immans/mullahs for their misery along with their mohummad. dangerous thing for muslims is knowledge!

Of course, The Jews did it. Dressed up as local miltants, oh how foolish we are not have figured this out, They planted eveidence of a nuclear reactor in Syria before the Jews bombed it into obilvion and now this, girl's school no less. Yep, educated girls or women in islam do not compute with the mullahs or just about anyone in the hierarchy of islam. I am sure the paks will hunt down those nasty terrorists, arrest them, let them go and arm them in the process. Talk about throwing good money after bad! They condemn us for taking out islamofacist terrorists across the border into Pakistan, so what. The stupid paks will not and cannot deal with the islamofacists in the hinterlands of their country. We do them a favor and we are the bad guys. Screw them and notch up the attacks and target those upper echelon islamofacists like Israel was doing. It was working there and will work elsewhere, just needs to be done until none are left or they get the message.

I see it's business as usual in Pakistan - can't allow girls to get an education, not per Muslim standards. These people live in the dark ages.

If Pakistan were not an inhuman country run by the same ideology, Islam, that did the bombing, these girl's names would be remembered for decades, just as 11-year-old Denise McNair and three 14-year-olds, Cynthia Wesley, Carol Robertson and Addie Mae Collins are remembered annually in the USA, nearly 50 years after the pathetic remnants of the Klan bombed the girl's church in Mississippi.

"The government girls’ primary school was destroyed by unknown miscreants...."

This was obviously written by a miscreantophobe. As the spokesman of the UMA -- United Miscreants Alliance -- I call upon the U.N. to outlaw this latest form of racism.
