Beheaded for teaching girls

Let's not forget that in many places of the world, the Business of Life can be deadly. Abdul Habib, a high school teacher in Afghanistan was beheaded by the Taliban because he was teaching - --- girls.

May he rest in peace and his killers found.

High School Teacher Beheaded in Afghanistan

The education director of Zabul, Nabi Khushal, blamed the Taliban for the beheading, saying the insurgents had occasionally put up posters around Qalat demanding that schools for girls be closed and threatening to kill teachers, The Associated Press reported. "Only the Taliban are against girls being educated," he said.
The Taliban government was ousted in late 2001, but insurgents associated with the group continue to be active in southern Afghanistan.

Too bad we rushed off to all ill-advised and useless war in another part of the world before finishing off those who supported the REAL cause of the 9/11 attack, Osama bin-Forgotten.

My parents always taught me to finish what you start before you start something else. I guess our government didn't learn the same lesson as I did when I was five.

Quite the bait-'n'-switch operation, isn't it?!
