(Kabul) The Taliban has been intensifying its campaign against girls' schools.
Suspected Taliban militants set fire on a girls school Thursday night in Afghan eastern province of Laghman, a local police said.
"Last night at about 12 p.m. (8:30 p.m. GMT) some suspected Taliban militants blazed a girls school in Haidar area, but there is no casualty of school staff," Hizbullah, the spokesperson of the governor told Xinhua.
The spokesperson blamed Taliban to carry out this kind of attack, and said the investigation is still going on.
According to some reliable resources, four school staff have been kidnapped by the militants, but the spokesperson denied.
There are no details about the four hostages.
In the southern Kandahar Province where the Taliban previously had a stronghold, attempts to intimidate teachers and students at girls' schools have been ongoing. With these attacks against women, I wonder how in the world the feminists can consistently come out against the global war on terror. Logic would indicate that women's rights advocates should be first in line to support the Bush administration and its efforts to defeat the Taliban and other terror groups.

You really want an answer on that one?
All politics is domestic - Feminists position on the Taliban is as follows - abortions on demand now & tommarrow! Bush and Supreme Court - Hands off our bodies! ....
What does that have to do with the Taliban? Absolutely nothing - and so what!
I understand them perfectly!

Damn. Hondo used his evil, psychic, mind reading military espionage training to steal my comment. He's right. The only issue feminists, especially those in the US, care about is the right to an abortion. Mistreat women all you want, just let them have abortions. As for the feminists in the rest of the world, it's okay to mistreat women as long as the mistreatment is part of a long established cultural practice.....oh and the person perpetrating the act isn't a whitey.

Feminists have consistently opposed the Taliban. I don't recall any specifically feminist opposition to the war in Afghanistan.
Do you have any evidence to back up the counterintuitive assertion that most feminists opposed the war in Afghanistan? Thanks.

Well, jpe, most of us would like to see the feminists condemn radical Islam, and Islam in general, for its Middle Ages view of women and women's rights. The feminists don't seem to be shy about condemning Christians for views much less radical by thousands of degrees than what most Muslims, and particularly the radical Muslims have.
What's up with that?

There are lots of feminist condemnations of noxious groups like the Taliban, though.

I guess none of these Taliban boys joined an all male club in college so they get a pass.
I think they get support from the left for their belief in a fathers right to choose (to kill his daughters) if necessary. We canÂ’t have government telling us how many girls we want to have around. Especially if the eldest gal brings dishonor to the family. I think this is known as Real Late Term Abortion. Pelosi and Boxer support it.
I love the left, “Keep your laws off my knife”

Apparently the Taliban, like oh, say, the other billion or so muslims in the world, didn't get the "religion of peace" memo.

You are - correct. My apologies. Just having some fun with this and made an over-reaching analogy. I'll clarify this to feminists groups directly associated with a far-reaching leftist social agenda, where their agenda is more important that specific cases as this.
jpe - wiil that suffice?

Feminists ARE Taliban. They treat others just like the Taliban do. They want the world to work only one way - their way. They are intolerant of anything else.
