Safia Ama Jan, Requiescat in pace.

Sadly, we will not get to hear from Safia Ama Jan, a moderate mohammedan (though a secret one for fear of the goat rapists).

Chicago Sun-Times: Afghan women's rights activist slain

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- A teacher for more than three decades and an advocate for women's rights, Safia Ama Jan ran an underground school for girls during Taliban rule. On Monday, two men on a motorbike gunned her down as she left for work -- identifying their target despite her full burqa.

Behold the brave goat rapists! They even gun down babes wearing the magic desire-eliminating tents!

The assassination underscored the increasingly brazen attacks by militants on government officials and schools in Afghanistan. President Hamid Karzai, who was visiting Washington, condemned the killing.

Ama Jan, a provincial director for the Ministry of Women's Affairs, was slain outside her home in the southern city of Kandahar, said Tawfiq ul-Ulhakim Parant, senior adviser to the women's ministry in Kabul.

''The enemy of Afghanistan killed her, but they should know it will not derail women from the path we are on. We will continue on our way,'' said Fariba Ahmedi, a parliament member from Kandahar.

Ahmedi joined hundreds of men and women, including the provincial governor, at Ama Jan's funeral at a Shiite Muslim mosque.

Mullah Sadullah, a regional Taliban commander, claimed responsibility for the killing in a telephone call to the Associated Press.

Ama Jan was known as an active proponent of women's rights in this former Taliban stronghold.
