Code Pink blames US for shooting of Pakistani girl
In the story we discussed yesterday about Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl gunned down on her school bus by the Taliban, I mentioned Code Pink. Well, today, the hags didn’t disappoint with their daily emails that I can’t seem to shut off;
Yesterday we organized a public fast in Islamabad to atone for US killer drone strikes. We were devastated to hear news of the Taliban attack on 14-year-old Pakistani girl Malala Yousufzai who is an outspoken advocate for girls to attend school.
After our fast we collected funds to send to Malala’s school and we are reaching out to global community to find medical help for her neurological needs. We condemn this violence and understand that American drone attacks increase extremism. We are praying for Malala’s quick recovery and return to school.
Yeah, a public fast, or as they’re called in Waziristan, “another day without food”.
And it was our drones that caused those poor, misunderstood Taliban to shoot her. The Washington Post has some of the details of the attack today. It seems that a grown man stood over her, asked her name and shot her point blank in her head;
“A masked man stopped the school van, while another jumped in the rear asking for Malala,” Khan said. The driver tried to speed off, but the gunman succeeding in shooting the teenager, jumping off and escaping. A seventh-grader who was on the bus with Yousafzai was shot in the leg.
Ihsanullah Ihsan, chief spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, said in calls to the news media that the militant group targeted Yousafzai because she generated “negative propaganda” about Muslims.
“She considers President Obama as her ideal leader. Malala is the symbol of the infidels and obscenity,” Ihsan said.
Yeah, so see, it was about religion, like everything else is for these cowards.
“The cowards who attacked Malala and her fellow students have shown time and again how little regard they have for human life and how low they can fall in their cruel ambition to impose their twisted ideology,” [Chief of Army Staff Gen. Ashfaq Parvez] Kayani said, according to a news release issued by the military’s information office. “.?.?. They have no respect even for the golden words of the prophet .?.?. that ‘the one who is not kind to children, is not amongst us.’ ”
Oh, by the way, the Taliban, according to the Post says that if Malala survives, they’ll try to kill her again. Nice of Code Pink to choose that side of the discussion.

Hey, let’s hear it for that “religion of peace” again… great going, shooting a really dangerous little girl.
Did anybody else notice that they turned back due to “security concerns” before the Pakistani Army stopped the main group from entering Waziristan for the same reasons? Brave little bitties aren’t they? I thought all their peace, love, and fasting would protect them from all evil and the Taliban would just give up their designs on killing young girls if they just met the Code Pink hags.
I support Code Pink going to Pakistan. In fact, I support ALL of them going to Pakistan and staying there till the Taliban sees the light.
Wow!
Idealism (liberalism) will stop at nothing to get their collective point across.
Maybe Code Pink should be put on a watch list.
Morons.
Actually, it’s Bush’s fault.
If their panties are so bunched up, maybe the Stinkos should organize a way to ride on the buses with the girls trying to get an education and protect them? That could be a full-time, permanent thing for them to do. Over there.
“…the one who is not kind to children, is not amongst us.”
You know, I’m surprised that a Muslim would actually attempt to quote the Koran to the Taliban. Of course this was no child. At 14, she should have been married and given birth, from their point of view.
I would love to say exactly what I think of this deplorable crime, but I’m afraid that I might break my keyboard.
As for Code Punk and their blaming of America. I really wish they would be stopped by the Taliban. That way they can apologize like Obumbler while they are shot/tortured.
In what dimension does logical dissection of this shooting result in the US being blamed for it? The young girl thinks she should have a right to go to school, she is shot for thinking that by some backwards inbred fundamentalists whose idea of a good time is watching American porn like their beloved OBL and whacking off in dark rooms to dreams of murder and these 4ssholes from Code Stink think the US created this situation?
The only conclusion I draw from this is that the Taliban proves daily why they should be slaughtered to the last man, and anyone who supports or apologizes for them should be slaughtered as well.
Bunch of sick people. Taliban, and code pink for rationalizing it. I hope this poor little girl makes a full recovery.
You will follow our religion of peace or we will KILL YOU TO DEATH.
Bleh.
Yeahhhhhh, it was the drone strikes that incited these nutjobs to shoot a teenage girl. Because everyone knows that prior to 9-11, the Taliban had a stellar record of supporting the right of girls to get an education. Before drone strikes began, the Taliban never stoned women, or held public executions for violating their warped morals code. That’s it Pinkies, blame the drone strikes.
I’m legitimately and absolutely confused by this. Then again, standing up to your protector is easier than standing up to the boogie man.
If those rather dimwitted women took the time to bone up on the history of Pakistan, especially the recent history of Pakistan, then they would be very aware of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto late in December 2007, partly in a response to her attempts to deal with extremist Muslim groups in Pakistan, including the Taliban, and partly because she espoused bringing Pakistan into the modern world.
But if they were required to do that kind of homework, they wouldn’t have any reason to be in Pakiland, would they?
This 14-year-old girl has more guts in her little finger than those silly women going over there to protest.
So let them go into Waziristan, no guards, no guns, no nothing, just like the bunch of stupid tourists that they are. But remind them ahead of time that the Pakistani government ASKED us to come into their country, quite some time ago. Ignorance is a lot more blissful than I had realized.
I want to say something but … I really do … it is just … well … I don’t know if I should say what I am thinking …
PLEASE!!! Revoke their visas and passports before they come home. For the love of everything American!!
Okay, that did it for me. Take ’em out, Tali. And Ollie, Ollie Clark bar!
I am sure that little girl would look at the Code Pink folks and their histrionics and be as disgusted as we are. Those who actually stand and fight for a real, tangible, God-given right do not understand those who engage in a moral relativism like that.
This should be no surprise to anyone. As I recall, like many Islamic nations the Taliban-led government of Afghanistan that had a “Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice”. However, the Taliban version was particularly harsh towards women.

LOL! i have been saying this forever. no other religion going has this issue. Libs and athiests say the christians are as crazy over abortion, which doesn’t make any damn sense and isn’t supported by evidence, but I don’t see christians conducting mass murder or taking over entire countries. Islam has a huge image problem. You won’t see a muslim stand up for or defend it either, which by itself is telling. Yet Americans want to “hug it out” with terrorists. Unless you have had that conversation with the folks over here you just aren’t going to get it. Their values are not our values, and they never will be. We can’t give them enough wells, water, mcdonalds, whatever to bring them around. it just isn’t going to happen. I have several incidents where I got first hand insight to the difference in values people have here as social norms versus western civilizations. They still bring nightmares. A husband who wanted to kill his wife and children because they were wounded and of no use to him anymore, shit like that. Just crazy stuff. Females are replaceable here. I can’t even write about this, I am getting pissed off again.
It’s amazing to me how a statement by Code Pink such as “We condemn this violence and understand that American drone attacks increase extremism.” gets conflated into “rationalizing” what the Taliban did and wanting to “hug it out” with terrorists. The situation in Pakistan is very complex and it would behoove most of you to be somewhat informed and apply some critical thinking skills before you pas judgment and drown in your own ignorance.
Yo, Jaytee! Being “somewhat informed” isn’t good enough. And, the only people around here who “drown in your own ignorance” would be the lefty trolls who stop by occassionally. We even have our own, resident liberals who also keep themselves informed with whom we mostly agree on serious issues.
Code Pink would be one of those groups of people who are only dangerous because they have so much money that the mentally infirm think they must know something. Otherwise they are simply laughable.
