Today, terrible news from a school in Pakistan where many children and teachers have been murdered by Taliban violence. I am not sure what god these people claim to be representing in their mad dash to a virgin-saturated heaven, but the monstrous, vengeful and blood-seeking deity that they appear to worship cannot be real.

There is no reasoning with this kind of person. They are zealously and exclusively right in their own addled psychopathic way and to stay for a chat would invite certain death. They are not the only ones to represent a dead-end in human development, but they are clearly the most visible at present.
