The Swat Valley in Pakistan has, for reasons of political expediency, been handed over to the Taliban, and there they have blown up over a hundred schools for girls and regularly flog young females on the streets. The girls are shrouded and forbidden to scream because the female voice has the potential to arouse desire. Or pity perhaps.

IMO: President Obama was born a Muslim and owes something to Islam - perhaps his Presidency. Instead of simply making smarmy speeches at ridiculous US colleges, he should defend the faith of holy Islam. For a start, he could send in more drones to clear out the Taliban from Afghanistan and Pakistan at relatively little cost to the US in people or money. The Pak authorities should help him, if not they are bogus infidels who should die like dogs.
