Another jihadi mass slaughter of innocent schoolchildren
Dozens of schoolchildren and five teachers were among those killed in a suicide attack in northern Afghanistan earlier this week — the country’s deadliest since the fall of the Taliban — the government said Friday.
The 59 schoolchildren had lined up to greet a group of lawmakers visiting a sugar factory in the northern province of Baghlan on Tuesday when a suicide bomber detonated explosives.
“The education minister has ordered that no children should be ever again be used in these sort of events,” said Zahoor Afghan, an Education Ministry spokesman. He said the children ranged in age from 8 to 18.
In all, the explosion claimed the lives at least 75 people, including several parliamentarians, and wounded 96. It was the deadliest attack in the country since the toppling of Taliban regime from power in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
BBC reports that ball bearings were mixed with the explosives.
Monstrous evil. Crickets chirp.
Our human rights activists are preoccupied with other theatrical priorities.

To see the difference between what Islamist terrorists do to children in the name of their religion and what Americans (including their military forces!) do out of good will, taught by their Judeo-Christian heritage, read some letters and view the photo gallery at: Operation Iraqi Children
Last year I bought the supplies and bags to send off 4 school kits. Great fun. And worthwhile.

LOL
Is that what your Imam told you?
fred
Doing instead of talking about it? How very Christian! GOD Bless!
No big deal – I had fun shopping and wrapping. Maybe a certain someone could shut up and start shopping.
I am not religious – haven’t been to church since I was 18 (more than 40 years ago). But I deeply respect the values I learned.

Uh-huh. He’s there now. No prob. Let er rip.
Buh-BYE!!!!
Gonna bury him in a rainstorm of squirrel turds.
Total Snarc on with nasal twang:
“Jesus opposed…..”
/Total snarc off
Jesus didn’t oppose stuff. He laid down the law. Gave fair warning. And drew the line behind anybody who didn’t step back. End of story.
Southernboy- thou art neither is my guess.
#97 OMSB – my menus are starting to reflect my political views of the day. Last night, I made beef tamales w/sauce, rice & beans – all the while watching Glenn Beck rant about crime and illegal aliens. Tonight, it’s Senate bean soup (check the other thread on impeachment)! I’m hoping for a lack of newsworthy events tomorrow….

Operation Iraqi Children
what they do at OIC is noble.
All! Please take a moment to visit the site. I read some mails written by troops and tears welled up my eyes. Honest to God, I was so overwhelmed.
MM this sure deserves special mention. Can you highlight it please, in a separate posting. That we could help their cause.
Bravo RetFireman!! saved me the trouble.
Southernboy: I try to ignore your ignorant posts but this time you have outdone yourself.
#95 24KLADY I might use it to make faux southern skunk soup with a certain troll as the main ingredient, but you’d never be able to use it again!
Well…well……well….I too am a “southerner”.
Perhaps southern”boy” – you’d like to come over and play with me for a short time.
There are railroad tracks across the highway and we can go play on them.
“Follow the leader”…..OK?
Gayle:
I beseech you. PLEASE – take back the invitation. We like you here….SB cannot be trusted…..
well as long as they don’t taunt them or, gawd forbid, waterboard them..
wow, i missed all of the fun! I agree with Soap about ignoring this guy, but his ignorant statements have brought out some excellent and hilarious posts from some of you.
Okay, southernboy wins…we’re ALL bad…not real Christians…we all deserve to die horrible deaths…yada yada yada!! What a great job he has done convincing us all of our evil history, and creating change in our flawed evil mindsets! Oh, to think no one ever had the temerity to give us this message before just gives me hope for a different future…
Thank you southernboy, now please go spread your message of hope to the lefties who will embrace you with open arms. And why stop there? If anyone else is willing, I will contribute to a fund to buy you a one way plane ticket to the nether-reaches of Afganistan so you can preach your message of hope for the other children of God whom don’t have the previlege of hearing your vision of happiness! I hope they can understand you…it is difficult to make out the words when one’s head is so far up his…well, you know!
southernboy
You’re here again??? No, what you’re saying is that we are not allowed to point that out (evil)….glass houses and all…freakin’ moby….I’m done.
You’re displaying a recalcitrant lack of biblical knowledge, esp. Jesus’ two-kingdom distinction between the sacred and secular governments.
What denomination are you in and where did your pastor go to seminary? Your answers will prove enlightening, no doubt.
You’re obviously being directed by someone who a) does not believe in inerrancy and b) is likely a liberation theologian.
What year of school are you in?
May God rest their Souls and comfort their families.
Those who planned and committed this war crime will face our Creator sooner or later. And I’m thinking it’s going to be sooner rather than later if our beloved soldiers, sailor, marines and air force have much to say about it.
PRCdude, that would be Pet Semetary that his imam attended.
.
Been gone a couple of hours, came back hungry….till I read your posts…
crock pots, crack pots, squirrel turds, etc.
Thanks, but I’m not eatin’ at any of your houses this week.
I know I’m all excited to see chapter and verse where Jesus has his press secretary issue the talking points on these things and others – like “do the Vikings have a chance against the Pack this Sunday?” or maybe a really good BBQ recipe.
Although I must say I’m encouraged at all the fringe left lunatics who’ve suddenly become such true believers in upholding the Bible as God’s Infallible Word! Of course, now they just gotta actually read it and they’ll be on the right step to having some idea what they’re talking about.
And, laddie, if Hiroshima is problematic to you, you might wanna skip parts where whole cities are nuked off the face of the earth. Sodom and Gomorrah was the first “Manhattan Project in action” and Jesus dropped those bombs.
Of course since you now take the Bible as the dependable source of all truth, you’ll agree with Jesus that, what with the cities’ major GLBT scene, they really had it coming.
I’m not defending SoBoy with the following. He is a classic inevitible product of our school system that does all it can to unlearn the past or re-write history. Sadly, too many churches are watering down what the Bible really says about the days in which we are living. SoBoy don’t forget Matt 24, Joel, Revelation when “that great and terrible day of the Lord” will come. Yes, SoBoy, it is Jesus Christ on the White horse with a SWORD in His hand to judge the nations.
SoBoy, buy the WWII series that PBS just ran. Look at it and learn and see why you are even able to sit in front of your computer with freedom to write your drivel. Thousands of America’s children, yes children, shed their blood and gave their lives for you to have the right now to second guess their supreme sacrifice. You should thank your God you are in this free country and re adjust your thought processes in the meantime.
Hey Sothernboy,,,,When you talk about Born Again Christians get your facts straight. I seriously doubt that the born agains lead the world in murdering innocents. When you ask “What would Jesus Bomb or “Who would Jesus Bomb” you have to realize that He was against all sin. He also said that there would be wars and rumors of wars. He also did not tell us to lay down and let our enemies just walk over us. He said to preach the gospel in all the lands and not to fall for any false religions. Its obvious that Islam comes from the father of lies. Those atrocities that you mentioned that Christians do probably were in name only and they did not have a personal relationship with the Lord. Yes, Southern boy don’t expect the Muslims to lay down like sheep anytime soon. They will attack and attack until they achieve their goals.
If you take a walk in lower Manhattan you will see all sorts of anti car bomb barriers around Government buildings & financial offices & banks. Some look like giant flower pots, others are even less obvious… but we know what they are. We also know why they are there.
We also know that the enemy targets children (remember that Russian school?)
I wish that my “elected representatives” would spend a few bucks placing those giant flower pots around our schools as opposed to spending it on drivers licences for illegals…
What do you say Hill & Chuckie…
“He who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.” Luke 22:36. Paul’s intructions to soldiers do not include “do not fight or kill,” either. Honestly, the New Testament is aimed the Church and individuals, while the Old Testament is aimed at the culture and government, I think. Lots of warfare in the Old Testament, and unless one succumbs to Marcionism (e.i., ignoring the Old Testament altogether), one is forced to conclude tat warfare is not prohibited.
SouthernBoy,
There is room to argue against the targeting of civilians as part of our campaign against Japan, but you are hurting your argument by lumping Afghanistan and Iraq in together with them. Also, what the heck was the abortion reference about? Kindly explain.
Would you mind giving us some details about your church? A denomination would be nice to know. I, for example, am a Reformed Presbyterian and belong to the Presbyterian Chuch of America.
Happy to hear you’ve reformed, GF. It’s not easy changing one’s ways.
southern boy… hmmm, southern boy… son of southern man maybe? got it! Neal Young! right?
Howwww long, howww long….
just sayin.
With the Beslan massacre there was international condemnation. There was also news coverage by the MSM.
Here, we have dozens of school children massacred through an equally fiendish plot. Where is the outrage? Not just from the MSM, but where is the outrage in the Islamic world?
Is this not news, or is the MSM’s fear that reporting on a massacre of children might actually reveal that we are indeed fighting a war on terror?
John Kerry was criticized because he was slow to get a public statement out on Beslan. Has any candidate gone on record regarding this tragedy?
While there are people that may not like George Bush, no one who claims to be part of the human race can sit silently by without at least publically condemning this incident. In this case, their silence only aids and abets the perpetrators, and encourages more acts just like it. Those who remain silent on this are accomplices in any future acts.
#125 Purplepeep,
Indeed, it isn’t. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to change one’s corrupt nature unless God does it for you, out of his unconditional love for those he has chosen.
It means I am a Calvinist. “Reformed” indicates the Augustinian-Calvinist school of thought, as opposed to the semi-Pelagian/Arminianism school of thought. All true, non-liberal (unlike those heretics in the PCUSA*) Prebyterians are Reformed, not all folks in the Reformed community are Presbyterians – Some are/were congregationalists (like the New England Puritans), some are Baptists, etc. TULIP (total depravity, unconditional love, limited atonement, irresistable grace, perseverance of the saints) is the distinguishing feature of our theology.
*There are still some Christians left in the PCUSA, but the denomination as a whole can safely be considered heretical, I think.
Jim M: that was great!
The war on terror is just treating the symptom (terrorism)… how to get at the disease?? What say you?
Brooklyn red,
We get at the disease when we first actually realize this is a war and then act like we are at war.
War is not pretty and is not politically correct. Yet, we have expanded the Geneva Conventions to cover terrorists. Under the Conventions, those people had no rights, and could have been summarily executed as spies.
War means adopting a “them or us” mentality. One side will lose, and the victor will impose its will on the loser. Most people in the US have never considered the consequences to not only the US but them personally if we lose this war.
War means aggressively prosecuting the crimes of espionage, sedition and treason. To date, we have actually gone in the opposite direction, allowing the enemy to establish a solid foothold in the US and have allowed them to bully us with our own laws into letting them flourish.
War means having the will and resolve to win. There is a substantial population in the US, blinded either by partisanship or their dislike of the current administration, that has developed the will to LOSE. This group includes those who would exit Iraq now. We can debate the issue of going to war with Iraq in the first place, but that has nothing to do with the issue we should be discussing – what happens if we retreat?
Retreat will not only embolden our enemies, it will surely result in genocide the likes of which we have not seen since the “end” of Vietnam. We will allow our enemy to firmly establish itself as the power in the middle east, and will be faced with an enemy in the near future that is 100 times more lethal than the one we are dealing with now.
UNfortunately, I do not see the US being prepared to really treat this as a war, at least until it is almost too late to counter the threat. Perhaps Bin Laden fulfilling his promise to kill 4 million Americans will do it; perhaps multiple attacks involving the liberal bastions in the US that make 9/11 look like a picnic; perhaps an attack that cripples our infrastructure for years to come.
What people don’t seem to realize is that Beslan and now the slaughter of children in Afghanistan are warm ups. If the terrorists can carry out such an act here, they will do it. And there is ample evidence that they are “probing” to do just that.
We get at the disease by going to war. What we are doing now bears no resemblence to a nation at war, or a nation committed to win.
Yeah, I’m reasonably knowledgable on such things, GF. But I was predestined to make the pun anyway.
Ah, good. I thought you might, but sometimes people don’t know, so I thought I would explain anyway.
Please don’t forget this!
Jim M.,
Thank you.
Now if any political types are monitoring this site pls take note, THAT is how leaders should answer direct questions. Who knows, people may actually respect you for it.
I signed up for an account on Digg when you asked your readers to do so. I stopped commenting on Digg because I couldn’t stand the ridiculous remarks and belittling arguments made by leftists on that site. I read your blogs and articles every day. I’ve submitted them to digg on many occasions. I praise your diligence at your work. I know I wouldn’t be able to take the BS being aimed at me all the time. Too much negativity.
This story is typical of one that will be ignored by the MSM and that I probably would not have heard about if it weren’t for you. So, I thank you. Especially for putting up with the negativity that follows from the leftist sites like digg.
I signed up for comment priveledge here so I wouldn’t have to deal with that digg negativity… I guess I didn’t realize that it, like a progressive, contagious disease attacking a healthy, beautiful child, will seep into any little opening possible and begin to infect even the most noble and well-meaning sites on the web.
Sorry you have to deal with it all the time. I know I couldn’t do it.
Curret count – 59 children killed, 93 children wounded.

And there remain those who say something like waterboarding is “torture” and wrong in any scenario.
To refuse to use a psychological procedure that does not result in physical injury or death to prevent the outright slaughter of innocent children insane.
And any elected representative who would stand in the way of using waterboarding or similar technique to thwart such an attack is complicit in every death and injury that occurs as a result of such a henious act.
So exactly how are we supposed to question these scumbags? Are we supposed to just ask nicely and when they refuse to tell us anything, we are to pat them on their little poopers and apologize for bothering them?
If there was a nuke planted in New York, we had the guy who planted it in custody and he wasn’t talking, would these idiots really allow millions of people to be vaporized all because we don;t want the mythical “stain” of “torture” on our hands?
That is just plain sick if you ask me. I say do whatever it takes to make each and every one of them talk. If nothing else, maybe it will have a deterrent effect, making those who are will ing to die for their cause thinkk twice about having to endure a fate far worse and far more painful.
After all, what good is the threat of prison to one willing to strap bombs to his body and blow himself and hundreds of women and children up with him in the name of his false god and the promise of sexual gratification? (if you consider eternity with virgins to be sexually gratifying).
