Heart-breaking POGS. Unfortunately too many in the Pakistani government either support the views of the Taliban or at the very least turn away from what is going on as long as it mainly stays in areas such as Peshawar.

And yes the Taliban are beyond the pale and until the Muslim world accept responsibility for what is going on the problems will not be resolved. Unfortunately, as stated above, far too many agree with the aims of both the Taliban and so-called IS.

So fae 95 children have been 'murdered' by the Taliban in Peshawar.

There are up to 500 children attending the school and a siege is going on.

I am going to call the Taliban absolute bastards.

There is a time to defend a faith but there are times to accept you cannot defend the indefensible. That time is here and now and I am prepared to say the Muslim faith must start to take a lot more responsibility for their fellow man. The west cannot stop this alone .
