True courage, the cure for Jihasism
God bless this girl, she has something sorely lacking today, guts!
A victim of an acid attack on schoolgirls in Afghanistan says she is determined to stay in school even if that means risking death.
The girl, who gave her name as just Shamsia, was the most seriously injured of a group of girls attacked outside their school by unidentified men in the southern city of Kandahar on Wednesday.
“I’ll continue my schooling even if they try to kill me. I won’t stop going to school,” Shamsia said from her bed at a Kabul military hospital.
Shamsia, 17, suffered damage to one of her eyes when the men pulled off the girls’ head scarves and threw acid in their faces. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack but it bore the hallmarks of the Taliban, who banned girls from going to school during their rule from 1996 to 2001. The insurgents have attacked and destroyed hundreds of schools across the country since they were forced from power in 2001, after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

Friends, if the spirit and courage of this girl was shared by more people in that region of the world, Jihadism would die
