Wasil, Don't Be A Hero

Wasil Ahmad's father was killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan so he got in touch with his uncle who was the police chief in the area. The uncle dressed the boy up in a military uniform; gave him a gun, and took him into the war zone where they spent their time casually shooting bullets into the heads of people they didn't like

The police department thought this would make a great PR story so they took photos of the child; published his full name, and declared him a national hero.

Now the Taliban had information they could use. They sat on the roadside waiting for Wasil Ahmad to walk by on his way to school. Then they put a bullet into his head. He was ten years old.


[What is your guess about the people involved in this story? Muslim or atheist?]
