Following the horrific 8 hour massacre of 132 school children in Peshawar, the Tehreek-e-Taliban quickly "claimed responsibility" for the murderous attack.
Claiming responsibility for murdering helpless children is not something to be proud of in any religion.
I deeply respect Ashraf Ghani for clearly stating that this act was contrary to Islamic beliefs.
As a Christian, I was taught that Islam was the "Religion of Peace".
This despicable and cowardly act against defenseless children has sickened me to the core.

I nearly always refrain from making religious or political comments in public forums but this sickening and cowardly act has motivated me to do so.
What "justification" is there in any religion for the mass murdering of children?
Port Moody is a city in Metro Vancouver, enveloping the east end of Burrard Inlet in British Columbia, Canada. Port Moody is the smallest of the Tri-Cities, bordered by Coquitlam on the east and south, and Burnaby on the west. The villages of Belcarra and Anmore, along with the rugged Coast Mountains, lie to the northwest and north respectively. It is named for Richard Clement Moody, the first Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony of British Columbia.
- from 1908 "Lovell's Gazetteer of the Dominion of Canada" - PORT MOODY, a post settlement in New Westminster District, B.C., and a station on the CPR (mainline), 12 miles east of Vancouver. It has a branch of the Royal bank.
(from 1918 - Wrigley's British Columbia directory) - PORT MOODY - a town located near the head of Burrard Inlet, 4 miles from New Westminster and 12 miles from Vancouver, on the main line of the C. P. Railway, in Dewdney Provincial Electoral District. Has two large sawmills, three shingle mills and one tie mill. The B. C. Oil Refinery is located around the point west of the town, and there is a steel-rolling mill in the east end. The Imperial Oil Company, Limited, is located just across the inlet. Electricity for both power and light purposes is furnished by the B. C. Electric Railway Company, and by the Western Canada Power Company, and the B. C. Telephone Co.'s system connects with all local and outside points. Improvements are exempt from taxation. Good school. The population in 1918 was about 1,500. Local resources: Lumbering, oil and steel refining, some farming.
The Post Office at Port Moody was established - 1 October 1882 and closed in 1965 - became New Westminster Postal Station Port Moody.
/ PORT MOODY / DE 23 (inverted) / 10 / B.C. / - split ring cancel - this split ring hammer (A1-1) is not listed in the Proof Book - it was most likely proofed c. 1902 replacing the BRIT COL (A2-1) split ring hammer which was proofed - 9 December 1882.
This Canada Post Card was addressed to Japan - (written in Japanese / needs to be translated - please!)
The image is of a vintage Canada Post Card, which was sent from Canada to Japan around the turn of the 20th century.
The card bears a one-cent Canadian stamp with a portrait of King Edward VII (indicated by the stamp's design and typical era for such cards).
The address side includes text in both English and Japanese characters, indicating the international destination.
The card was a form of "postal stationery," which were government-issued cards with pre-printed postage.
Translation
CANADA POST CARD
THE ADDRESS TO BE WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE
大日本: Empire of Japan
伊月容: Itsuki-sama (a form of address for a person named Itsuki)
[The rest of the Japanese text appears to be the sender's details and address, which is partially obscured or handwritten in a cursive style and difficult to fully decipher.]
The Japanese calligraphy on the left side of the card appears to be the recipient's name and address written vertically, which was a common style for formal letters and postcards in Japan at the time.
While the exact location and message would require an expert Japanese translator due to the cursive (calligraphy) style, the general address information translates to the following:
Top (Recipient's name):
近藤伊八様
Kondō Ihachi-sama (Mr. Ihachi Kondō)
Middle/Lower section (Address details):
The rest of the script describes the location within Japan, which is likely:
芳賀縣 (Haga-gun, or Haga District)
Followed by details such as 泉右郡 (Izumi Right County) and the specific town/village name and perhaps a house number.
Right of the stamp:
大日本 (Dai Nippon / Great Japan or the Japanese Empire)
The English word "Japan" is also written horizontally across the center of the card for international postal sorting.
