WHO Says Afghan School "Poison Attacks" Probably Mass Hysteria
New submitter smugfunt writes "A number of incidents at schools in Afghanistan, especially girls' schools, have been attributed to poisoning by the Taliban. The World Health Organization has investigated 32 of them but found no poison. "Mass Psychological Illness is the most probable cause," they conclude, the Telegraph reports. The Taliban has consistently denied poisoning schools and have even consented to allow the education of girls in a deal with the government which allows significant Taliban control over the curriculum."
Who? Oh, those guys. I don't know what happened but I'm not taking the WHO's word for anything at all. Maybe it didn't happen but if they said it didn't then I think it probably did. Mass pyschological illness. They imagined it.
So that explains the Christians here on the streets beating women who don't have their heads covered. That explains why all the women here have been forced out of employment and education. That explains why Christians who go to another religion or become atheist are commonly executed here.
Oh wait, none of that's even close to happening.
We have a tiny, tiny minority of Christians in this country who wish they could do a Christian-style Sharia, but the most encroachment on our lives is the annoying Westboro Baptist clan. But even then, the Bible says to give to Ceasar what is Caesar's, meaning Christians can separate religion and government in accordance with the Bible. Sharia demands there be no such separation.
