Afghan Girls get injured by Acid; Scared to go to School

In the article "Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School" Shamisa Husseini and other girl and older women suffer and experience the burning of acid sprayed in their face. Also this explains that afghan girls and women are sprayed with burning acid by Taliban terrorists, To keep them from going to school. Shamisa Husseini said in the article that she still has to go to school even if she's killed. The quote that stands out the most in this article is that other than Shamisa, 14 other girls were injured (burned) by the acid as well. Although 1,300 other female students have returned to the community fixed,but still remain in there homes.This goes to show that obvisouly this is a major issue to the Afghan parents. Before I started reading this article I though it was going to be about a couple of teenage girls getting burned by toxic waste. Now after reading the article I realize that this article is somewhat I imagined it to be about. This article also reminded me a little bit about a movie on military soldiers getting burned by toxic waste and though it would kill them because they started getting sick really bad. Honestly if this was going on in America I wouldn't to come to school either because of the fear of being burned by acid by a stranger I don't know. How could that Taliban people do this to little girls that honestly didn't do anything to them? Who knows the real true honest explaination for this cause, but it's good that no more girls are getting injured (burned) by acid.
