Two Schools For Girls Blown Up In Pakistan, Pakistan Media Outlet Just Can't Figure Out Who Did It


You've got to be kidding me. I saw the headline for this story over at DAWN and expected to see some slamming comments regarding how the Taliban continue to target schools for girls in the country for bombings but found this at the story:

Unknown assailants blew up two primary schools for girls in the Khyber tribal region’s Landi Kotal tehsil on Friday.
Reports said militants had planted explosives and later detonated them destroying the schools.

"Unknown assailants" ?????? Give me a bloody break. Does this reporter have a couple of family members IN the Taliban? Here's more from the article:

Reports said militants had planted explosives and later detonated them destroying the schools.

No loss of life was reported in the incidents.

With the destruction of the two schools, the total number of schools blown up in the tribal region has climbed to 41. Majority of the schools targeted by militants are schools for girls.

So, the Taliban have blown up 41 schools for girls across the NW region of Pakistan and this reporter can't seem to muster the courage to point it out in the article?

The fact of the matter is this - the Taliban started this assault on girls schools in Afghanistan back when they came into power - their operating goal was for no girls in the entire country to be educated. You see, the Taliban see the role of girls such as Mohammed did...marry them when they are about 6 years old and bed em when they reach 9 and certainly never let them go to school so they find out just how perverse that all is.

But remember, these are "valiant" fighters, the Taliban. They bravely plant explosives in a school for girls...then patter away to the nearest hilltop and hit the detonator. If they are successful there are a number of girls left in the school when it goes off. Yeah, real men, huh?
