Wonderful people those Taliban

From Infidels are Cool:
Afghanistan: Taliban Publicly Execute Couple for Eloping
Ah, the glories of Taliban rule.
HERAT, Afghanistan (Reuters) � Taliban militants publicly executed a man and girl on Monday for eloping when she was already engaged to marry someone else, an official said, in a sign of the grip the Islamists have over parts of Afghanistan.

Hashim Noorzai, head of Khash Rud district in southwestern Nimruz province, said the two were executed by gun shots in front of a crowd of villagers.

He said he had no details on how the Taliban had come to be involved in passing judgment on them but that much of the mainly desert district was under control of the militants.

Nimruz is a sparsely-populated area near the Iranian and Pakistani borders where foreign or government troops have little presence.
And the public outcry from moderate Muslims worldwide? . . . . - - - crickets - - - . . . Posted by DaveH at April 14, 2009 11:09 AM
