A thirteen year old girl has escaped her family after watching her father and brother sacrifice her nine year old sister as a suicide bomber and tried to get her to do the same. She is currently within the safety of the police and her story is truly frightening. To see it, click here. Meena told her story to BBC Pakistan correspondent Orla Guerin. Her brother and her father work for the Taliban and promised her she would reach Paradise before them. Fortunately, Meena was able to think for herself, as her story suggests. She watched her sister strapped to a heavy bomb which wrapped around her arms, body and legs, who complained it was too heavy to walk and was told she would be completely comfortable once she was sitting in the car. As she was led away, her mother fainted. Meena never saw her sister again.
Can any family member relate to this? We who don't believe in Paradise as a result of killing innocents find that the worst sort of promise. It is hard to think of these people as human rather than animals except that those of us who love animals know that even they are kinder to their families with very rare exception, probably brain damage.
