Taliban hang 8-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan
KABUL (BNO NEWS) — Suspected members of the Taliban on Friday hung the 8-year-old son of a local police commander in southern Afghanistan after ordering his father to surrender, according to a news report on Saturday.
The Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) news agency reported that the young boy was kidnapped by militants in the Greshk district of Helmand province on Tuesday. They had ordered his father to surrender to the Taliban or else the boy would be executed.
“The militants had warned his father, who is a local police commander, to surrender with his police vehicle and weapons, otherwise they would kill his son,” provincial governor spokesman Daud Ahmadi told DPA. The boy was hung on Friday.
While child executions by the Taliban are not common, children often fall victim to Taliban militants when they carry out attacks. But children have also been used by the Taliban as suicide bombers.

Barbarians!
But they’re MUSLIM barbarians so left/libtards will give ‘em a pass because “it’s part of their culture” (like Man Love Thursday, treating women like property, molesting goats, etc,) or some such.
I am waiting until the main stream media and Obama think up an excuse for this one! They seem to be quick to tie any action to the Christian element of society if it is negative, but seem to ignore the atrocities of the Taliban or other Islamic fanatics. Don’t ever forget, these are the nice people who behead newspeople. I wonder what they would do with our Liberal reporters? Why don’t we box up the New York Times and ship it to them and find out?

Actually, members of Al-Qaeda did kidnap and behead an American journalist — Wall St. Journal’s Daniel Pearl. Hordes of Muslim men in Egypt also sexually assaulted CBS reporter Lara Logan.
But quicker than you can say “allahu akbar,” our amnesiac media already forgot all about them.
Friggin animals…hope they rot in h*ll.

Both Leftists and Taliban think the ends justify the barbarity.
Anon,
You’re so right! That really is the warped mentality: the end(s) justifies whatever means, no matter how brutal or horrific. There is no better illustration than the so-called Marxist regimes we’ve had, wherein millions were slaughtered in the name of utopian communism.
Damned camel-washing, ass-backward, illiterate barbarians.
So, where are the “moderate” Islamists? Why aren’t they taking to the streets protesting this heinous act?
Hmm?
Why the civilized world continues to tolerate the existence of this BS “religion” is beyond me.
Islam sprang from the deepest depths of Hell itself.
I think it’s time to send it back.

Where do we flush?
@ tumbleweed – I am amazed that anyone can compare the sick mind of a perverted child molester against the ORGANIZED MOB OF so-called peace-loving Muslims. Both are outrageous and atrocious, but one is the warped actions of a single animal, the other is the group atrocity against a family, resulting in the planned death of either of the child or the father.
