In this world of horror and pain, where horror and pain is too often caused by the rampant Islamic savagery that afflicts nations across the globe, it is rare that there is good news. However sometimes there is indeed some good news, which for today’s story means some violent savages have at last got their just desserts.

Sky News among others is reporting that a senior Taliban leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour has been killed in a drone strike. That’s one less appalling violent backward savage to trouble this unhappy world. I try to see all human life as sacred, as everyone should, but I find it difficult not to think that there goes a human whose loss will only be grieved by those who are as equally savage as he was. It really is a case of goodbye and good riddance when it comes to individuals like Mansour.

Mansour was a nasty little Islamic warlord a follower and promoter of a type of Islam for which the word ‘retarded’, although strong, is really not strong enough. Afghanistan has for years been an Islamic shithole, but the Taliban took Islamic shittyness to new depths. Taliban Afghanistan saw women caged in burkhas and forbidden to have access to education, cruel medieval punishments and all the other horrors that occur when a nation goes ‘full Islam’.

I will not grieve over the death of this savage, even though he was officially classified as human, I will instead crack open a beer and be thankful that another of the savages who would deny me the right to crack open a beer, or even exist, is no more.

Another violent savage bites the dust, one down and who knows how many hundreds of thousands of those like him to go.
