Christian Charity Vows To Remain In Afghanistan In Spite Of Murders

Dr. Karen Woo was murdered by the Taliban

The Christian charity, International Assistance Mission, has vowed to remain in Afghanistan, after the vicious murders of several of their workers, by the Taliban terrorist group, who claimed it was due to them preaching Christianity.

A British doctor, six Americans, one German and two people from Afghanistan, were murdered by the Taliban, for being Christian, when all they were doing is delivering crucial medical supplies to impoverished pregnant women in the region.

The murders were acts of cowardice against unarmed charity workers trying to help those in need. If the Taliban thinks it endears them to the world they are sorely mistaken.

Devastated Christian aid group pledges to continue work in Afghanistan

Monday, August 9, 2010 - KABUL -- ...Last week, with the massacre of 10 members of an eye care team in the rugged mountains of northern Afghanistan, the group suffered its greatest tragedy. But its 44-year history in Afghanistan, as an openly Christian charity in a deeply conservative Muslim country, is one of enduring near-impossible circumstances...

On Sunday, the bodies of the 10 slain aid workers -- six Americans, one German, one Briton and two Afghans -- were recovered and flown by Afghan helicopter from Badakhshan province to a military compound in Kabul...

The Taliban Tried To Kill British PM Cameron

Prime Minister David Cameron and wife Samantha

According to reports, the Taliban planned to kill newly elected British Prime Minister, David Cameron, during his visit to Afghanistan, to speak to the troops. They sought to shoot down his aircraft. Radio chatter picked up by Britain, exposed the plot and led to a change of plans, saving Cameron's life.

Thankfully, the attack did not happen, as that would have been terrible. The incident opened the government's eyes to the level of surveillance the terrorist group maintains in the region and the type of weaponry in their possession.

Student Slashes Muslim Cab Driver's Face

Michael Enright (right)

21-year-old university student, Michael Enright, attacked a Muslim cab driver, Ahmed Sharif, in an act of unprovoked violence. Enright, who spent time in Afghanistan, making a documentary, was branded drunk by the police and taken into custody.

Enright entered Sharif's cab, questioned him if he is Muslim and after a few minutes, slashed the driver's face and arm. Alcohol clearly played a role in this regrettable incident. Assaulting law abiding Muslims, is no better than the Taliban or Al Qaeda attacking law abiding Americans. Violence solves nothing.

Tensions have been running high in New York, regarding the 9/11 mosque, which the Judiciary Report opposes, as it is a national security risk. However, it is important for both sides to talk things through, without violence being an option for anyone.

British MP Slams "Medal Of Honor" Over The Taliban

The third installement of the Electronic Arts Los Angeles (EA LA) video game "Medal of Honor" has been at the center of a political controversy, for adding the known terrorist group, the Taliban, to its latest release. It has been slammed by a British MP.

The video game, set in Afghanistan, allows players to choose which side they would like to be on, whether it be that of the Allied soldiers or the Taliban. It has caused outrage in Allied nations, such as America, Australia and Britain, with the latter seeking to have it banned.

Medal of Honor 3 featuring the Taliban

Under the law, Electronic Arts is legally allowed to add the Taliban to their video game. However, the manner in which it has been done, giving players the option of fighting as the terrorist group, was in poor taste and may have a negative impact on users, especially impressionable preteens and teens.

Side Bar: If EA Los Angeles are not careful, the U.S. government may claim they are promoting terrorism.

The Taliban Kills Doctor And Christian Missionaries

The Taliban have savagely executed several Christian missionaries and a doctor, who were delivering medical supplies in Afghanistan. They were lined up and executed one by one, via gunshots. Among the dead, are 36-year-old British doctor, Karen Woo, six Americans and one German. Their two interpreters were killed as well.

Dr. Karen Woo

The Taliban's conduct is barbaric. These indiscriminate, vile acts of murder, clearly illustrate they are bloodthirsty, not knowing who their real enemies are in life, which does them no favors in the world.

How has it benefited the people of Afghanistan, that people delivering medical supplies to impoverished citizens and pregnant women, have been killed. It says to the world, the Taliban would rather the people of Afghanistan die, than receive life saving medicine.
