Suicide is haram, a cardinal sin. The protection of civilians is required under not only International Law, but also Sharia Law. Killing women and children is considered particularly heinous according to 
Islam. Mohammed himself forbid these atrocities, so how is it that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda engage in these activities?
The answer is simple: The Taliban and al-Qaeda subvert and destroy Islam in their desire for absolute power and greed for wealth. The illiteracy of those they subject to their tyranny is an important tool in their means to control and terrorize entire populations.
During our own dark ages, those that subverted Christianity used illiteracy of Latin to maintain the Priests as the sole conduit of God's Word and today Islam is going through the same crisis. When only the Mullah can read the holy texts, he is empowered to preach only hate. When he preaches that sins should be committed, when he endorses the cardinal sin of suicide to terrorize by the murder of children, he is no holy man. He is a purveyor of Satan's ilk.
And if illiteracy is a tool of the Satanic Al-Qaeda and their stooges The Taliban, then it is no wonder that they target Teachers, Students and Schools. For if the Afghanis learn to read, they will read the

Koran. If they read the Koran, they will know the evils of the Taliban. And if they know the Taliban and AQ are tools of Satan, they will wage jihad, jihad against the Satanic forces of the heretical islamists.
While this conclusion is not drawn in the latest report Download AIHRC,_INS_Caused_CIVCAS from the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Council, the cases, the statistics and the sins are documented. The AIHRC has been tasked with the investigation of all allegations of Human and Civil Rights Abuses, from all sides of the conflict, regardless of careless collateral damage, purposeful propaganda, or the explicit targeting of non-combatants.
More importantly, it quotes the Koran, the Hadiths, and Sharia Law to demonstrate that the atrocities being committed are anti-Islamic. It notes also the acceptance of the Islamic world of the Geneva Conventions, as well as the hypocritical allegations of abuses of the the Conventions, by the Taliban and others while they purposefully perpetuate even greater atrocities than they accuse the allies and others of.
It notes a considerable upswing in the atrocities, the attacks, and the abuses in 2007 and above that in 2008 and correlates the levels of violence against Pakistani forces and against Afghani forces to pressure placed by one or the other governments against their respective islamist forces of evil. It documents the relative new phenomenon of suicide attacks in Afghanistan, though it stops short of assigning a basis for that.
Why is it important to note the timeframe of increased atrocities against Islam, against International Law, against Afghan civilians? Because it directly correlates in time to the retreat of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. The attacks on children, the attacks on civilians, the attacks on hospitals, on schools, on mosques, and funerals were the precise thing which pushed the Iraqi Sunnis to stand up and push back against their supposed allies.
It seems that AQ learned nothing from their defeat in Iraq. When they were forced to retreat back to the difficult terrain of the Hindu Kush, they brought back not only their refined battle skills, but also their failed tactics. It seems that they know as little about Afghani culture as they did about Iraqi culture. In neither culture is the murder of children considered ok.
And while a people can be terrorized into compliance for a time when they feel there is no means to fight back, when the alternative is readily available, when the resolve of a generous and great Nation becomes apparent, when the abuses of power are alleviated by the teaching of fierce fairness and respect of the governed by the powers, the people will stand up and push back against the terrorists that would be tyrants.
But as I have pointed out in "The Abused," the Afghani People have a healthy disrespect for authority. The new authorities must overcome the natural cycle of abuse that they endured. And the Afghani people are as aware of the short attention span of the American people as are our common enemies. Just as were the Iraqi people apprehensive about casting their lot with the forces of democracy that might not stick around if the going got tough, so too does the Afghan mind remember how quickly they were forgotten when our last enemy there, the Soviets, were defeated.
As I've said elsewhere, Victory in Afghanistan requires patience on our part and I add recognition of our resolve on their part. While life there is cheap, it is precious as well. While it is shorter, their loyalties and memories are longer.
