A group of Taliban gunman attacked the school and murdered children in response to the Pakistan military launching a military offense against them. This is their justification, slaughtering children?
At least 126 people, most of them children, were killed on Tuesday when Taliban gunmen stormed a school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, taking hundreds of students hostage in the bloodiest insurgent attack in the country in years.
Troops surrounded the building and an operation was underway to rescue children still trapped inside, the army said.
Hours into the siege, three explosions were heard inside the military-run high school, and a Reuters journalist at the scene said he heard heavy gunfire.
Outside, as helicopters rumbled overhead, police struggled to hold back distraught parents who were trying to break past a security cordon and get into the school.

These “People” are savages. Islam does not tolerate civilized behavior and the sooner the world accepts that and takes action against it, the sooner we will be safe. I’m tired of hearing “Islam is a religion of peace.” It is not and anyone with a passing knowledge of the Koran knows it isn’t even a religion, but a death cult. All civilized countries need to stop allowing them to set up their terror nests in their countries and to restrict immigration to non-Muslims until they can demonstrate loyalty to a new country and a decent way of life.

If the people in a country allow the Islam hate cult to operate as a religion, then they have to be prepared to see activities as this.
We need to get started in our own country with the removal process for those who follow this cult.
deportation for all in our country illegally. IT CAN BE DONE.
