HotAir has a little follow-up on the tale of the boy the Taliban unsuccessfully tried to transform into a living anti-personnel grenade. The horror of the experience brought the community out in opposition to the loathsome Islamist organization.

As [the head of the village] told Juma’s story, 20 Afghan elders repeatedly clicked their tongues in sadness and disapproval. When the boy and his brother were brought in, several of the turban-wearing men welled up, wiping their eyes with handkerchiefs…

Haji Niaz Mohammad, one of the elders at the gathering, said he hoped “God makes the Afghan government strong” so it can defeat the Taliban.

“They are the enemy of Muslims and the enemy of the children,” he said, shaking his fists in anger.
