Pakistani Taliban Targets Both Boys' and Girls' Schools - TIME

Description: The numbers show the extent of the war on education by the Pakistani Taliban. At least 473 schools across Swat and Federally Administered Tribal Areas have been destroyed over the past two years. Militants recently blew up a 12-room state-run high school and health clinic for boys in Hangu district, a small area nestled on the border of North Waziristan and the North-West Frontier Province. And they routinely blow up girls' schools in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and North-West Frontier Province. Three have been destroyed in the past two weeks.

  Such "brave fighters for Alah"! Attacking children. Of course, if children can't learn and think for themselves, perhaps they will be better fodder for suicide bomber recruits. Where is the outrage and active opposition from "moderate Muslims"? When such rabid mad dogs are not controlled by their own countrymen (and indeed, spill over into other countries), that becomes an invitation to "foreign meddling".
