Officials in Afghanistan, where the amateur video was filmed, believe the woman was executed because two Taliban commanders had a dispute over her,both apparently had some kind of relationship with the woman.."In order to save face," they accused her of adultery and shot her.
Brutal cold blooded murder

Interesting to note that the two Taliban commanders were later shot by a third.
Unless and until Taliban leaders comdemn this kind of murderous behavior, they should be shunned by every civilized nation on earth.
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A shot rings out, but the burqa-clad woman sitting on the rocky ground does not respond.
The man pointing a rifle at her from a few feet away lets loose another round, but still there is no reaction.
He fires a third shot, and finally the woman slumps backwards.
But the man fires another shot.
And another. And another.
Nine shots in all.
Around him, dozens of men on a hillside cheer: "God is great!"

But it's a "peaceful" religion.
Shunned while innocent women continue to be killed for the most trivial (if not completely made-up) offenses?
It is a peaceful religion. The actual text speaks of peace like the bible. But unfortunatly any religion can be turend on its head to justify acts like these.
I remain hopeful, despite my opposition to the pullout plan for a variety of reasons, that continued Western support, and an incessant and aggressive American drone and intelligence campaign will be able to prevent a significant Taliban takeover and advance. Moreover that it will force eventual negotiations on terms that force large portions of the disparate contingents of the Taliban to make a negotiated peace on terms amenable to the central government and the continued existence of democratic governance.
There are some excellent FA and FP articles that lend credence to hope in this approach. Particularly with regard to the drone campaign that has wrought terrible damage on the Afghan Taliban and the Tehrek-i-Taliban and has been the source of plummeting morale.

That is true too, but Islam, when they became fanatics, seems to be particularly virulent!!
Well, I'm not for sending our boys to engage them, if that's what you mean.
Take them off the world stage, starve their financing and let them hide under rocks and in caves where they belong.
Yes of course. But anyone who becomes a fanatic they **** **** up.
Any religion that can convince people to donate money to praise invisible things in the sky, can convince the same people that murder is righteous.
Airplanes into towers???? like 911? because of religious fanaticism?
It's pretty sick and it doesn't get worse than that in my opinion.
I'd say that says more about the people (both those who are doing the manipulating and those who are being manipulated) than it does about the religion itself.
911 wasn't really about religion. It was about US foreign policy.

I missed the 72 virgin discussion in US Foreign Policy.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
