More Muslim Madness - this time its Girls Schools
More wonderful news from the cess-pit of the Islamic mind.
From the
London Times:
Taleban threaten to blow up girls� schools if they refuse to close
The Taleban have ordered the closure of all girls� schools in the war-ravaged Swat district and warned parents and teachers of dire consequences if the ban is flouted.
In an announcement made in mosques and broadcast on radio, the militant group set a deadline of January 15 for its order to be obeyed or it would blow up school buildings and attack schoolgirls. It also told women not to set foot outside their homes without being fully covered.
�Female education is against Islamic teachings and spreads vulgarity in society,� Shah Dauran, leader of a group that has established control over a large part of Swat district in the North West Frontier Province, declared this week.
Teachers said that they had little choice but to comply. The Taleban have destroyed more than 125 girls� schools in the area in the past year. Swat, once a relatively liberal area and a popular tourist destination, has in the past few years become a heartland for Pakistan�s Islamic militancy, which fashions itself on the conservative Taleban movement in Afghanistan.
And a bit more:
The militants have also prohibited immunisation for children against polio � claiming that the UN-sponsored vaccination drive is aimed at causing sexual impotence � causing a sharp rise in cases of the disease.
Looks like Satan's work is being done well by his minions. The False Prophet Mohamed and all that good stuff...
