Taliban Murder Man for Teaching Girls

Didn't we overthrow these people? Obviously not. And it looks like they are going to gain power in Afghanistan again:
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.

I walked outside today in my teeshirt. Don't tell me there isn't such a thing as global warming. Those who say otherwise are the same type of people that wanted to burn Gallileo as a heretic when he argued the earth revolved around the sun.
