Taliban Poison 150 Schoolgirls In Afghanistan...Because the Girls Had the Nerve To Seek an Education

About 150 Afghan schoolgirls (not pictured) were poisoned on Tuesday after drinking contaminated water at a high school in the country's north, officials said, blaming it on conservative radicals opposed to female education.


And people wonder why I have called for the total eradication of every Taliban on this earth...well, this latest display of their barbarity should be reason enough as 150 schoolgirls in Afghanistan became ill at school only for officials to find that the drinking supply at the school had been contaminated with poison.

To repeat: The Taliban, a bunch of men in their 20's, 30's and 40's decided to kill 150 Afghan schoolgirls, probably aged from 8 years old to 16 years old, because those girls had the gall to try and get an education.

The story comes from The National Post.

p.s. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has yet to comment on whether this "war on women" is worse than the one being waged by Republicans in America.

150 schoolgirls poisoned in Afghanistan for seeking an education


KUNDUZ — About 150 Afghan schoolgirls were poisoned on Tuesday after drinking contaminated water at a high school in the country’s north, officials said, blaming it on conservative radicals opposed to female education.

Since the 2001 toppling of the Taliban, which banned education for women and girls, females have returned to schools, especially in Kabul.

But periodic attacks still occur against girls, teachers and their school buildings, usually in the more conservative south and east of the country, from where the Taliban insurgency draws most support.

“We are 100 percent sure that the water they drunk inside their classes was poisoned. This is either the work of those who are against girls’ education or irresponsible armed individuals,” said Jan Mohammad Nabizada, a spokesman for education department in northern Takhar province.
