Suspected Taliban kill Afghan teacher in front of family; school taught girls

Militants broke into the home of a headmaster of a school in central Afghanistan that educates girls and beheaded him while forcing his family to watch, the latest in a spate of alleged Taliban attacks that have forced many schools to close, officials said Wednesday.

The insurgents claim that educating girls is against Islam and they even oppose government-funded schools for boys because the schools teach subjects besides religion.

5. Of course.
Now they just need to extend the death-for-disobedience penalty to non-fundies here (a la Coulter et al) and we will subsist happily (?) under the protection of godly crusaders, our lords and masters, who we will serve humbly and obediently.
