A girls' school has been burned down
in Afghanistan, a country where
human rights abuses remain a concern
four years after the removal of the
fundamentalist Taliban government.

No one was hurt, but the fire
destroyed the building, chairs,
a vehicle and tents that were
temporarily being used by
the students.
The primary school, 65
kilometres from Kabul in
Logar province, was being
renovated when someone
set fire to it late Saturday,
said provincial official
Qudratullah Arabzai.
The school was the fourth to
be burned in the same district
since the collapse of the
hardline Taliban regime in
late 2001.
A string of similar incidents
has been blamed on loyalists
of the Taliban, which had
banned education for
women and girls.

These are our future mothers and wifes, trying
to educate themselves to better provide for
their families.
What a bunch of cowards the men of this
religion represent. Attacking girl children.
Should we give up?
HELL NO!
