Gassing Girls in Afghanistan

Well, I guess at least the attackers didn't throw acid in their faces. Reuters:
Dozens of schoolgirls in Afghanistan were admitted to hospital on Tuesday after two suspected poisonous gas attacks on schools, officials said, the latest in a spate of similar incidents.

Thirty schoolgirls in the northern city of Kunduz and six in Kabul were admitted to hospital, health officials and the interior ministry said.

Some media confusion, since, according to the manual of the Left, the attackers are the real victims here just because one American soldier is in the country. Some progress among progressives at The Daily Beast. But will it be enough, soon enough?

New battlegrounds are opening up among more Westernized countries. We've just seen behavior of the Times Square bomber, who was the son of a prominent Pakistani family, the Christmas underpants bomber, the son of a prominent Nigerian family, who hung out in London, Mohamed Atta was the son of a prominent Egyptian family and was educated in Germany. Will the next bomber come from Turkey?

Oh, and America's favorability rating among Turks, at around 14% according to recent polls, is plumbing an all-time low, despite Barack Obama's presidency and his unprecedented outreach to Muslims in general and Turks in particular. In 2004, the year of Abu Ghraib, it was 30%.

Oh, and in other amazing news Gitmo detainees may be released in Hamburg, where the 9/11 cell originated.

...As usual, the French take a unique approach.

...Gassing sounds kind of bad doesn't it. I wonder what's going through the minds of these terrorists. More here.

A day doesn't go by that we don't hear of atrocities committed by Muslims, and in the middle of what amounts to an MSM news blackout.

Women and girls get the worst of it, no matter what, and, of course, Christians and Jews.

Bending over backwards to "make nice" to these cultures will have the desired result, which is to make the ignominious self-nominating dhimmi feel morally correct, at the cost of selling the rest of us down the Euphrates.

I'm not playing that game.
