It isn't just Westerners that they are targeting
Reminds me of Mao's taking teachers and scientists and making them work in the fields.
From the
BBC News comes this story of murder:
Leading Muslim calligrapher shot
One of the Muslim world's leading calligraphers has been shot dead by gunmen in Baghdad.
Khalil al-Zahawi was the most famous practitioner in Iraq of the art of writing classical Arabic script.
He was outside his house in the New Baghdad district of the city on Saturday when he was ambushed by gunmen and killed.
The art of writing classical Arabic script is highly regarded in Iraq and the rest of the Muslim world.
And why was he killed?
His death will be seen as another attack on culture and learning by insurgent groups and militias in Iraq who in the past have targeted scientists, doctors and academics.
We are at war with animals - sons of pigs and dogs and apes who are only one step removed from the jungle.
