How long until the rest of the world refuses to tolerate Islam at this rate?
Muslim nations and leaders need to step up to the plate and stop people like this. They need to destroy the radical culture and anyone who preaches it.
More innocent people will die if this type of thing doesn't stop. Perhaps millions, under a nuclear warhead, when Western civilization is attacked again.
All the dead kids were Muslims bro. Regarding the rest, now you're painting everyone with a wide brush, so let me try that logic: Most of the victims of terrorists are Muslims, western civilisation need not worry, keep spreading the democracy bro, lol. I mean it's fascinating if Bush calls the war on Iraq a "crusade", should we call it christian terrorism? I mean, God did tell Bush to end tyranny in Iraq , so you have (i) unnecessary violence, and (ii) a person leading the charge to be bit of a lunatic and having the religious motivations for it, so if we are to go by the whole mainstream media definition of terrorism, than don't you think the whole Iraqi debacle is several notches up in terms of terrorism to everything else?
Western Civilization could perhaps play a more constructive role than the one they played in..creating Taliban and the likes in the first place for the imperial games between different powers. Or perhaps the regimes you prop up, like tyrants such as Zia ul Haq, who hanged the democratic leader and other friendlies doing friendly deeds in Syria/Iraq. Oh, let's not forget the classic photo ops here .

Ok with irony pointed out specifically in context to Owney, I'd just state I have no problem with any western or eastern civilizations at all. Politicians and establishments play their games, simple civilians die. Normal people are more or less same, having the good fortune to witness and travel to various countries and see various cultures, that's been my conclusion, 1. Everyone likes eye candy 2. Everyone hates their politicians.
See I don't mind your statement on the whole lets clean them up, I'm with you there 101%, but I just could not help myself point out the irony that I felt in what appeared to be the holier-than-thou post with generalizations.
Point is, plenty of skeletons in everyone's closets.
Also Owney, FYI, Taliban have claimed this attack is retaliation for the military operations we're carrying out right now, hope that helps with the "They need to destroy the radical culture and anyone who preaches it. "

Foxfire, it's not endless cash, half of it is not even aid, it's reimbursement, and it's literally peanuts compared to the damage the economy has suffered due to the war. You're asking us to manage a fight that you have been unable to manage yourself with 600 bn/year + extra war chest, our defense budget is like 5-6bn avg~, and it's way more than it should be anyway, plenty of strings attached, see that's why everyone likes the Chinese investments, less drama .

Anyway, The government has lifted the Death penalty moratorium, 2 hardcore convicted terrorists have been hanged under the capital punishment, these are some of the most hardcore convicted terrorists jailed up in prison, can expect some more capital punishments over the next few days and can fully expect some more unfortunate blow backs. The Army chief also flew to Kabul, met ISAF and Afghan leadership, gave them the intel of how the Peshawar school attack was real-time coordinated from NATO-managed territory of Afghanistan.
I hope this is the water-shed moment, there no more ifs and buts and apologists are marginalized and taken care of appropriately as per law. I hope this unfortunate incident will also help bring the security appratus of NATO, Afghanistan and Pakistan together further and provides the momentum for that final push. I personally believe religion is just a means to end for these fanatics for power and control.
