Outrage

According to reports, the Taliban in Afghanistan have hanged a 7-year-old boy.

A 7-year-old boy was murdered by the Taliban in an apparent act of retribution this week. Afghan officials said that the child was accused of spying for U.S. and NATO forces and hanged from a tree in southern Afghanistan.

Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman for the provincial governor of Helmand, said that the killing happened days after the boy’s grandfather, Abdul Woodod Alokozai, spoke out against militants in their home village.

For all you relativists who have trouble figuring out the complicated differences between good and evil, this is what we call evil.

Stopping a boat running a legal military blockade is not evil.

Just for the record.

You might want to make a note of this.

  1. I had not seen that report. How horrible.

    You know, I’m reading a book by A.J. Jacobs. The Know It All, and he talks about moral relativism, how he liked it in high school, but since reading so much about various cultures in the Britannica, he believes he’s justified calling lots of “cultural details” wrong, if not evil.
