Sudah kebiasaan orang islam itu ya begini, diajari oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW untuk
membunuhi kafir dimanapun bertemu, melenyapkan kristen dan yahudi dari arab,
merampok habis harta (cina dan yahudi, termasuk merampok toko emas) demi
perjuangan membela agamanya alloh, membakar rumah orang yang tidak mau jumatan
ke masjid, memotongi kaki tangan pencuri, dan merajam perempuan yg baru
melahirkan atas dasar dugaan zinah.
Apa di dunia tidak ada agama lain yg lebih bagus lagi dari ini??

KABUL -- During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, the
Christian aid group International Assistance Mission was forced to stop working
anywhere outside the capital.

Taliban kills 10 medical aid workers in northern Afghanistan

Under the mujaheddin government that followed, the group's medical teams had to
negotiate with separate warring factions for safe passage across rocket-strafed
Kabul just to travel from their homes to the eye clinic. The Taliban, when it
came to power, prohibited the organization's female staff members from working
in the same office as men.
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.
"It's devastating for everybody," executive director Dirk Frans said of the
killings. "Still I don't think it's actually going to stop our work. We've been
here all those years, and, God willing, we'll continue."
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. Along with them came
the lone survivor of the attack, an Afghan driver for the team named Saifullah,
who was taken to the Interior Ministry for questioning.
Among the dead were the team's leader, Tom Little, an optometrist from New York
who had worked for decades in Afghanistan, and Karen Woo, a British surgeon who
left her practice last year to volunteer in the war zone.
The Taliban asserted responsibility for the attack, accusing the medical
volunteers of being foreign spies and trying to convert Muslims to
Christianity, accusations the group denies. Police in Badakhshan province have
not ruled out that thieves unaffiliated with the Taliban could be responsible,
as the victims' belongings were ransacked after they were killed.
"We are heartbroken by the loss of these heroic, generous people," Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement. "We condemn in the strongest
possible terms this senseless act. We also condemn the Taliban's transparent
attempt to justify the unjustifiable by making false accusations about their
activities in Afghanistan."
To reach the remote Parun Valley of Nurestan province, the 12-member medical
team had driven from Kabul in three Land Rovers and then left the vehicles to
hike for days with pack mules through a towering mountain pass. Snow and rain
on the return trip proved grueling -- one member had to be carried on
horseback, Frans said -- but they had made it to the border with Badakhshan
when they lost phone contact with their Kabul office Thursday.

'Not here to proselytize'
Frans said it was inconceivable that the medical team was handing out Bibles
written in Dari, as the Taliban claimed. Nor was the trip reckless, he said, as
the group plotted the safest route -- to an area it had visited six previous
times since 1996 -- and had written permission from Nurestan's health
directorate.
The team knew the trip was dangerous, but Little and another member had decades
of experience in the country. "It's only because of them that we let a team go
to a place like that," Frans said.
