2 dead, 10 injured in Afghanistan violence
Ten family members were injured in a rocket attack in eastern Nangarhar province, a spokesman for the governor of the province said. In a separate attack, two people were killed in a western province.
The relatives included five women, four children and an elderly man, Ahamad Zia Abdul Zai, the spokesman, said.
He said three rockets hit east of Jalalabad city from an unknown origin on Sunday night. One rocket did not detonate, a second hit land but did not cause any casualties, and a third hit a civilian residential house, the spokesman said.
Separately, an improvised explosive device detonated in western Helmand province Sunday morning, killing a policeman and a civilian. Another policeman and another civilian were injured, said Daud Ahamadi, spokesman for the governor of Helmand province.
Ahamadi said the IED was placed in a motorbike and detonated in the center of the Sangin district of the province.
Onesmallvoice should be called...One small mind.
Since killing people with IEDs or other means is a commonplace way of life in Afghanistan, I don't see how this article made it to CNN. It must have been a very slow news day.
The belief in "god" seems to be ubiquitous through the ages.
We know, for example, that the ancient Egyptians believed in their gods so fervently that they built massive structures like the Great Pyramid - still today one of the largest and most enduring human constructions ever created. Despite that fervor, however, we know with complete certainty today that the Egyptian gods were imaginary. We don't build pyramids anymore and we do not mummify our leaders.
More recently we know that tens of millions of Romans worshiped Jupiter and his friends, and to them they built magnificent temples. The ruins of these temples are popular tourist attractions even today. Yet we know with complete certainty that these gods were imaginary because no one worships Zeus any more.
Much more recently, we know that the Aztec civilization believed in their gods so intensely that they constructed huge temples and pyramids. In addition, Aztecs were so zealous that they were sacrificing hundreds of human beings to their gods as recently as the 16th century. Despite the intensity, however, we know today that these gods were completely imaginary. The Aztecs were insane to be murdering people for their gods. Killing a person has no effect on rainfall or anything else. We all know that. If the Aztec gods were real, we would still be offering sacrifices to them.
Today's "God" is just as imaginary as were these historical gods. The fact that millions of people worship a god is meaningless.
Jack,
Okay, so you say that if you never see hide nor hair of something, that automatically means it never existed.
Therefore, in your befuddled logic, since no one has actually SEEN air, air does not exist either.
No offense, but I think you need to re-check the rationale being used here, Jack.
y do muslims smell so bad?
not MY war. not MY country.not MY troops. not MY women. not MY Problem.
Sounds like its none of your business either.
360 370, whatever it takes
HAHAHAHA!!!!
"Mr. Mom". I love it!
Islam is not a religion. It is a totalitarian political ideaology.
So is the Tea Party Movement with it's ideology of hate and love of bloodshed.
Honest Cieje Valentine,I didn't post the nonsense above.This bozo keeps on trying to make me as stupid as he is.Just ignore him.
You don't know vast Americans, you know the fringe. Afghans dancing in the streets like hindu (filthy) Pharoahnic is what vast Americans see though
Are you trying to be funny?The vast majority of Americans do hate the Muslims and make no mistake about it.Their support for this obscene war proves precisely that!!!
The only obscenity are cowards like yourself. This war isn't against muslims but against terrorists. If you can't stand behind our troops, I DARE you to stand in front of them!
Honest Onesmallvoice,I didn't post the nonsense above.This bozo keeps on trying to make me as stupid as he is.Just ignore him.
Liar. I don't believe you.
The Rev.Terry Jones just expressed what the vast the most Americans think and the Afghans seem to know it.
Pastor Terry Jones is, I hate to say, misguided. If he were a true man of God, he would be praying for peace instead of calling for war.
What has this to do with "The Rev.Terry Jones" You have copied and pasted on the wrong blog...
Is there a war going on there or something?
