Taliban Kills 16 Year Old for Teaching English
by Dr. D ~ November 17th, 2007
Taliban militants dragged a 16 year old Afghan boy out of a government run school and killed him for teaching English. The Taliban continues to try to reassert their authority over the area through intimidation and terror.
Comments: This is really a sad story. It is hard for us in the West to see how this helps their cause in anyway. Can the hearts and minds of people really be gained through methods like this? No, but whole populations of people can be controlled through intimidation and fear. This seems to be their goal -to impose their radical understanding of Islam upon the Afghan people once more.
We pray for the freedom of the Afghan people. We pray that the shackles that have stifled the Afghanis will be overthrown once and for all. *Top
