50 Year Old American Woman Kidnapped In Afghanistan Is Killed By The Taliban

She was there to help people. Not that that sort of thing matters to sub-human animals like that:

A Southwestern Baptist Theological seminary graduate apparently has been killed after being kidnapped by gunmen in Afghanistan a month ago, a humanitarian aid foundation reported Tuesday.

Cyd Mizell, 50, an aid worker who taught Afghan women income-producing skills such as sewing, and driver Muhammad Hadi, another aid worker, were abducted Jan. 26 in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

They served with the nonprofit Asian Rural Life Development Foundation.

Missionaries don’t belong in that part of the world at this time in history.

Missionaries need to shut the fuck up, mind their own business, and stop trying to shove their superstitions down other people’s throats.

Not so sure, Mick--this woman went in there knowing something like this might happen.  To good people like Ms. Mizel, there is no time when missionaries don’t belong in any part of the world.  That’s why she deserves our respect--and the thugs that did this deserve what they will get--eventually.

I see that dannyboy is showing us how much him and his fellow liberals support free speech unless it is the speech of a Christian.



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

Okay.....so, because she was a Christian makes it okay that she was brutally murdered?

I don’t get people like you.

This woman was there to help, not to preach. She taught Afghan women trades that could keep food in their mouths.

And, Mickey....I agree with you that misionaries don’t really belong there at this time. They’re seting themselves up for horror and grief. BUT - that doesn’t excuse this kind of inhuman action.

ANY person who would do this is an animal. Period.

Maybe they’re just upset because we won’t talk to them.
/sarcasm
Maybe Obama can persuade them to stop their murdering ways.

LOL… whats with the “50 Year Old” in the title? Is her age relevant to her murder?
I didn’t notice anything like 83 Year Old William F. Buckley, Jr. R.I.P.

Superstitions...like: sewing and earning a living!

an aid worker who taught Afghan women income-producing skills such as sewing

I can see where someone like dhimmiboy would think that earning your own living is a dangerous superstition! From what I can tell, he avoids work, rational thought, and reading skills like the plague!



Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

#1 Missionaries don’t belong in that part of the world at this time in history.

#2 Missionaries need to shut the fuck up, mind their own business, and stop trying to shove their superstitions down other people’s throats.

#1: Why? God said to go into all the world and bring the Gospel of Christ to every nation, should they disobey the God they do not think is a superstition? These missionaries also bring medicine, education, wells for water, homes, modern farming techniques and a host of other practical things that benefit these people, all to share the love of Christ and eternal life in Him. So, why don’t they belong there? Innumerable missionaries have suffered and died because they loved the lost more than their own lives, the poor and the dying of the world. I could offer many stories from Dr. Livingstone and Mother Theresa, people that went where they didn’t belong and made a difference out of love.

#2: So, what about Muslims, should they shut the fuck up, mind their own business, and stop trying to shove their superstitions down other people’s throats by rape, torture, murder and assassinations? What about socialists, should they shut the fuck up, mind their own business, and stop trying to shove their superstitions down other people’s throats by force, rape, torture and murder? How about Gore, what he promotes is a religion? What about Atheists, SCOTUS said they are a religion? Maybe everyone should stay home, never tell anyone what they believe, never help the world’s oppressed rise about their bondage, poverty and starvation. Great plan!


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

I would rephrase that to “More of Allah’s work....” They may claim to worship the same God as the Christians, but I’ve got more than a few doubts about that.

Was she proselytizing? From all I can find the answer is no.

“Mizell, 50, a native of Eureka, Calif., moved overseas to serve the people of Afghanistan. Since 2005 she had lived in Kandahar, where she taught English to high school students and helped women learn income-producing skills such as sewing and embroidery. She also assisted in other ARLDF-related efforts in the area, which include food-for-work projects, irrigation, rehabilitation, health care and restoration projects.” This from ARLDF webpage.

She was executed for the crime of educating women and girls. Not for proselytizing.

Women in Muslim societies are hammered down by assholes just like dannyboy.

Tuna,

I don’t disrespect the woman for being a missionary.

But I would not advocate throwing bloody chum in the water and swimming with sharks either.

The middle east is not a sane place to be selling religion outside of the accepted practice.

Mickey on February 28, 2008 at 07:46 am

Great points Nieman.

First of all, religion - Christianity or Islam - has nothing to do with this. Mizell may be a Christian, but she wasn’t a missionary. ARLDF is a secular, non profit aid organization. Mizell was there to help poor people get back on their feet. I don’t know about all of you, but just because there might be some “danger” involved doesn’t mean I’m not going to help someone. If that’s a crime, then I worry about the state of our world…

Danger? It’s everywhere-watch a news channel for awhile and all you see are shootings, earthquakes, bombings, genocide.  This is a dangerous world, so what do you do when you want to help?  You consider the risks and the benefits then go where you need to go.  Humanitarian aid organizations improve lives all over the world People who have had tremendous influence in social change know their actions represent risk--just look at our own history and be thankful for their courage.  This is a time to mourn the life of someone willing to take a risk and grieve the social loss to her beloved community.

No, it is time to wash away the dishonor of her murder with the blood of her killers, and all who support them.
