But every day, your less camera-eager jihadis who never aspire to rock star treatment go about the ordinary work of enforcing jihadi theology against the most vile enemies of the caliphate they are building--little girls who dare to read:
The Taliban blew up a girls' school on Monday in northwest Pakistan, where troops are battling the militants, police said.
Islamist insurgents opposed to co-education have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in the northwest of the country in recent years as they wage a fierce insurgency to enforce sharia law.
These are the true heroes of the jihad, eh? They who toil without the 24/7 news coverage granted to those who go for the big score in a Western plane. These brave Soldiers of Allah tally up their body count in obscurity, and only get the occasional print story that mentions their "hundreds" of operations.
