A 30-year-old woman and two of her children were beheaded in Afghanistan's east, police said, in what appeared to be the latest in a rapidly growing trend of so-called honour killings. Police said they suspected the former husband of Serata barged into her house in the capital of Ghazni province and murdered her, as well as their eight-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter. "The children saw the killer take their mother's head off, so he killed them too," a local policeman said, adding that the attacker had spared Sereta's two-year-old daughter. Activists say there has been a sharp rise in violent attacks on women in Afghanistan over the past year.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
