Were four Korean hostages raped by Taliban?

Spanish Pundit raised the question of whether four female Korean hostages were raped by the Taliban during their incarceration. I had not heard this news, but here's her story:

Were SK women sexually assaulted by the Talibans?

Something that has been left un-said in the media but on most people minds was if the Taliban sexually assaulted the women or not. The hostages are not talking yet but reports are filtering out of Afghanistan that at least four of the hostages were sexually assaulted by Pakistani Taliban which set off a fight between two Taliban groups. The sexual assault of the Korean women would be highly damaging to the Taliban’s effort to cultivate an image of being mujahadeen fighting for a Muslim cause in Afghanistan when they are going around kidnapping and raping women. I’m sure we will find out sooner or later if the report is true or not, but I would not be surprised at all if some of the women were sexually assaulted by these Taliban criminals.

Afghan Lord has more:

Taliban strongly rejected allegations regarding sexual assault on four female Korean captives. Militant spokesman Qari Yousaf Ahmadi told to media they were waging jihad against obscenity, immorality and un-Islamic acts in Afghanistan.

Read it all and more in Toasted Bread's article, "More on Talibans and SK Missionaries, NK nuclear plant, war against Iran?, Solutions, Global Warming and FGM."

From Nomad:

South Korea paid Afghanistan’s Taliban more than $20 million to release 19 missionaries they were holding hostage, a senior insurgent leader said on Saturday, vowing to use the funds to buy arms and mount suicide attacks. [snip]

"We will do the same thing with the other allies in Afghanistan, because we found this way to be successful,"

Where's the outrage for the West, from the Lefties, from the Progressives??? Where's a Western version of Rage Boy??? From ABC (hat tip Spanish Pundit)

When adherents of any religion are so ill mannered as to venture into another’s area, be it your home or country, ... [snip] ... then they should expect, at the very least, rejection. When confronting such as the Taliban,and fundamentalists of any religion, then they should be prepared to reap the harvest of their own ignorance.

The best argument for the necessity of American victory in Iraq was made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Aug. 28 when he declared his regime was “prepared to fill the gap” if U.S. forces withdrew. To give meaning to Tehran’s claim, the Iranian-backed Mahdi Army of Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr appeared poised to take control of the key Iraqi city of Basra in the wake of a British pullback.

Vorzheva: I realize it's a very hard position for countries or businesses to be in. You want your people back, you know that they are being mistreated, raped, tortured and you wan that to stop.

But you also know that if you pay this time, that will only encourage the terrorists to kidnap more innocents. It's a very tough call.

In some instances, the country refuses to pay, but the corporations or organizations will pay. Take Fox news and Wigg and Centanni, Fox paid the ransom for them.

Hello, Debbie, Thanks for the link.
It's a shame what this people have done. You know, I have critisized a lot Spanish Government (and will continue to do so) about our withdrawal from Iraq. But in this case, it's even worse, because they have given money to them.
The question is: who will be the next? Germany has already said that they are not moving, but there are a lot of countries in Afghanistan...

Bernie, Rosemary and Yankee Doodle: Yep, you can always depend on the Muslim terrorists to be consistent. BUT their reason for wanting us out is because the West is so sexual and lewd. Pot, here's kettle.

[bernie]

Rosemary is most correct, it is time we exited South Korea and let them spend their own money defending their country. Being ungrateful should be one of the deadly sins.

[Yankee Doodle]

The Taliban are extremist Muslims whose ideology harkens back to the good old days of rape, pillage and plunder.

Did their right hand possess these female captives? If so, Mohammed knows best!

[Rosemary]

They're just stuck trying to figure out a way to make this Bush' fault. Morons. Good post. I hate that they gave them money. THEY DO KNOW WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING. I say we get the hell out of SK and let them fend for themselves...ungratefual b*st*rds.
