Cowards .. lower than a pig in God's eyes
Killing innocent people, burning down schools.. Better you tie a mill stone around your neck and cast you body in the deepest oceans.. God please have some mercy on their souls.. Love others as i have loved you

Suicide bomber attacks police in Afghan market
So the people protest the deaths of 3 civilians killed by coalistion forces...3 deaths too many to be sure...the taliban live and hide behind the skirts of women they hate and the children they abuse. they are cowards who set off a bomb using idiots or someone who has been paid so their family can eat...then they run again and let the women protect them...they blow up mosques, schools...killing hundreds...where is the protest when this occurs...why don’t the afghan people protest against the taliban when the taliban kills their children?
