Boko haram in Pakistan, too! Or at least classrooms with both boys and girls in them, for Sharia forbids mixing of the sexes. Isn’t it great that Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange has made Oklahoma safe for Sharia?
“Baluchistan: Islamists slaughtering teachers,” from Asia News, December 14 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):
Islamabad (AsiaNews) – Islamic extremists are systematically targeting teachers in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province. Their crime is to teach children of both sexes in violation of Sharia.
According to a report by Human Rights Watch (MRW) on the issue, at least 22 teachers were killed in the province between January 2008 and October 2010….
However, Islamic radicals are by far the worst offenders when it comes to murdering teachers because, contrary to Islamic law, many schools in Baluchistan are mixed, with boys and girls in the same classroom. The rise across the country in the number of madrassah, fundamentalist Islamic religious schools, is in fact directly related to the violence against civilians.
Like in post-Soviet Afghanistan, Muslim clerics funded by Saudi Arabia teach religious hatred and push young people to take justice in their own hands against a government that is increasingly unable to maintain even a semblance of secular neutrality.
