mstefanik Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So they wanted to target army personnel and go for a school full of children and staff? With suicide vests? /facepalm They've stated that their intent was to kill the children of military personnel so that the Pakistani government would "feel the pain". Apparently this attack against the school was in retaliation against incursions by the Pakistani military into north Waziristan, which were in response to the Taliban attacking the Karachi airport back in June. Perhaps this will prove to be the tipping point for Pakistan, where they finally understand that there is no safe ground in trying to play both ends against the middle.

+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted December 16, 2014 MVC Share Posted December 16, 2014 so much for the religion of islam. so much loooove. Some news outlets are saying the attacks were due to the young packistani girl that was shot and moved to the UK for fighting for rights of women/girls to get an education.. she got a nobel peace prize. others are saying the Taliban did this due to the military having shot their wives and kids in revenge. either way, this is deplorable It could be the with the change with the new president of Afghanistan. The previous president wanted to be more aligned with India, then Pakistan, which caused friction. New Afgan president is more talkative to Pakistan, so Pakistan been more response has increased crack down on the Taliban. They just recently turned over an Taliban commander they captures within last month or so. It could be the gulf lessening between Afghanistan, and Pakistan that has the Taliban more worried then before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffydemon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 How do you know that? Via a blog? Indians are quick to blame Pakistanis for a wide range of their woes (most of which are caused by parochial politicians). Seek the root cause of your home grown terrorism, and you will see the light, https://twitter.com/hashtag/StopIndianTerrorismInPak?src=hash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V9s Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 https://twitter.com/hashtag/StopIndianTerrorismInPak?src=hash Simrat, i thought you'd know better than that. There are people in both countries that like to blame their own problems on others. Actually yes, the Taliban is a fundamentalist religious group with the weapons and money to force their will on others. To them, if you're not a Muslim by their strict definition of the term, you're an infidel dog worthy of death. You want to educate your women? Infidel. You want to let your little girls grow up without chopping off their clitoris? Infidel. You want to let people of other faiths live their life in peace? Infidel. You think women shouldn't be required to wear a full body jet black dress in countries where daytime temperatures top 100 degrees? Infidel. These pukes aren't freedom fighters, they're not even terrorists, they're lunatics who need to be exterminated, just like ISIS, before they motivate and/or orchestrate more attacks like this one or what just happened in Sydney. It's only a matter of time before the western world gets targeted directly again. They're already rioting and taking over territory in European countries, conducting "Muslim Patrols" to harass citizens for holding hands in public if they walk down the wrong street, chopping off the head of a British soldier in broad daylight, etc. Islam in general, whether you're arab, white, black, asian, etc., is a danger to civilized society, and people are too afraid of being called a bigot or politically incorrect to admit it. You and the Taliban have things in common. For one, you don't know much about islam. You are deaf, dumb and blind.

Dick Montage Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The Taliban represent Islam, just as Westboro Baptist Church represent Christianity. The amount of nonsense some of you speak is truly astonishing. Blaming these deaths on Islam - are you THAT ignorant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compl3x Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It's fair to say that this violence has a lot to do with tribalism. It is entirely dishonest to argue it has nothing to to with religious conviction. Using the Westboro Baptist Church is a pointless, overused comparison. They are boorish, offensive, and obnoxious, but hardly dangerous. I ask you, who would you rather living next door: Taliban fighters who shoot children in schools, or members of the Westboro Baptist Church? There is only one reasonable answer to that question. guru 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
