I’ve posted on this subject before and I will continue to do so because I think that we should all be talking about this. Feminists should be working overtime to end this atrocity. They should be pooling their money together to hire these people guards because they are being killed for teaching girls. Not just killed but tortured:

The gunmen came at night to drag Mohammed Halim away from his home, in front of his crying children and his wife begging for mercy.

The 46-year-old schoolteacher tried to reassure his family that he would return safely. But his life was over, he was part-disembowelled and then torn apart with his arms and legs tied to motorbikes, the remains put on display as a warning to others against defying Taliban orders to stop educating girls.

Mr Halim was one of four teachers killed in rapid succession by the Islamists at Ghazni, a strategic point on the routes from Kabul to the south and east which has become the scene of fierce clashes between the Taliban and US and Afghan forces.

[…]
Fatima Mushtaq, the director of education at Ghazni, has had repeated death threats, the notorious “night letters”. Her gender, as well as her refusal to send girls home from school, has made her a particular source of hatred for Islamist zealots.

The threats against Ms Mushtaq also extend to her husband, Sayyid Abdul, and their eight children. “When the first letters arrived, I tried to hide them from my husband,” she said. “But then he found the next few. He said we must stand together. We talked, and we decided that we must tell the children. So that they can be prepared, but it is not a good way for them to grow up.”

Ms Mushtaq is familiar with the ways of the Taliban. During their rule she and her sister ran secret schools for girls at their home. The Taliban beat them for teaching the girls algebra.

The Islamic fascists religion hates women, it is so clear from their actions. A religion that would treat their own like this will stop at nothing. Please remember this when you think about appeasement and peace talks.
Please join me in praying for these teachers and their families as they stand up to these evil people by teaching girls math.
