Afghanistan: Taliban Return To Their Beheading Ways With a Vengeance…
And yet Afghans are more enraged by Korans being burnt.
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban took the four men to the main bazaar in a southern Afghanistan district at evening prayer on Sunday, regional government officials said, denounced them as government spies because they were carrying satellite phones, then beheaded them in front of local residents who had been summoned to watch.
Three days later, on Wednesday morning, the director of a relatively progressive radio station in eastern Afghanistan was found stabbed to death in his car. His back, stomach and chest had been slashed, and his throat slit, according to the man’s brother, who said his head had been nearly severed from his body.
The local police chief, Daulat Khan Zadran, said the victim, Sadeem Khan Bahader Zoi, had been totally beheaded. “We still don’t know the cause” of the killing, Mr. Zadran said, but the method was consistent with the Taliban.
A Taliban spokesman for eastern Afghanistan, Zabiullah Mujahid, strongly condemned Mr. Zoi’s killing and in a telephone interview denied that the Taliban had been involved. The Taliban spokesman responsible for southern Afghanistan could not be reached for comment on the beheadings there.
This quick spate of grisly killings occurred despite recent attempts by the Taliban leadership to project a softer, more accepting image, to win the support of ordinary Afghans and convince the United States that it is a reasonable negotiating partner.
Its efforts are helping to drive a campaign by the Afghan government and the international coalition to begin peace talks with the Taliban that could lead to a power-sharing arrangement.
Beheadings by the Taliban are not new, but they have not been seen for a while, and five such gruesome deaths in a few days suggest that the Taliban may be operating with increasing impunity in some regions.
To Afghans, they are a frightening reminder of the brutal extremes of Taliban law — an authority that may soon have greater official sway over the country — and they raise questions about the sincerity of the Taliban in the peace negotiations.

That’s really gonna throw a damper over the usually festive atmosphere there.
Pull everything out now.
Let Karzai deal with it.
Their societal structure is on the same level of a Glue Horse and it will always be that way. The only hope that area has to make things better, is if a plague of some sort just wipes out the population.
It is sad to think this way, but domesticated animals behave and live better than these people.
This will happen here, soon, and tried in sharia court.
I know a place to use some of the A bombs little Berry wants to get rid of!
just an idea!
They deserve the taliban.
Let them have the all the taliban they can stand, and then let them have more.
JWM
As long as I have the means to ventilate foreheads, this will NEVER happen here. Once shit stain is out of office, hopefully this country will begin to rite itself…
‘Power sharing’ with the Taliban???
Just how stupid do you have to be to believe that the Taliban has any intention of sharing anything?
I mean, leave if we must, but don’t add insult to injury by pretending that the Taliban has turned over a new leaf and should be part of any negotiations. All Barry and ‘smart power’ Hillary are doing is giving them legitimacy.

==================================
Way too similar to the acceptance of border drug cartels here.
There’s definitely a group of genes these people didn’t inherit from ancestors, who appear also to not have had them. I can’t even call them “people” any longer, they just don’t seem related to the human race.
Once we leave there, Afghanistan will be making a bee-line for the Dark Ages.
These acts will be seen as moderate compared to what will happen.
And liberals raise a rucus when we exicute convicted killers through leathal injection
Look, lets just get the heck out of there. When they act up or try to invade Pockistan (as the precent says), nuke em from orbit.
It is the only way to be sure the nukes don’t get in the tallywankers hands!!
And hey, once they kill all the women, buggering young boys is a sure route to extinction!!

I like that idea!!
Oh well. The culture of Islam defines Islam. It was born in violence and it will always breed violence.

eh, better head cutters 45min south of me in Baja.
I thought most of the cavemen there couldn’t even read. Funny they get upset over a book,
It is time to leave. We took out the enemy many years ago. Why do we think we can turn cavemen into civilized people? Let them live in their own unwashed culture of crap and get the hell out. Let them kill each other not us, who freakin cares?
A people that kills its own is not worth saving…..
