Someone Please Teach Kim Sengupta to Read and Write English

Some evil bastards brutally killed one of the true underappreciated heroes of our day, as told in a pidgin piece in the Independent:

The gunmen came at night to drag Mohammed Halim away from his home, in front of his crying children and his wife begging for mercy.

The 46-year-old schoolteacher tried to reassure his family that he would return safely. But his life was over, he was part-disembowelled and then torn apart with his arms and legs tied to motorbikes, the remains put on display as a warning to others against defying Taliban orders to stop educating girls.

And that's really disappointing. It's only marginally more disappointing that the disgusting grammar in the piece will only serve to insult the fine work of the person whose story is being told.

Fear the small-minded gunmen led by their respective Afghani or American warlords; don't fear the semi-colon. Educate women so they know they can choose a better life if they want it. Win the hearts and minds of even the people you oppress, unless you're too busy spending all your education dollars to send idiots overseas to save people with bullets.

You can always win the religious vote.
