I don´t think that, but bear in mind the tabloid quality of the Dutch newspaper. It´s rubbish, they change facts many times until they like the outcome.

Angola: Militant Christians decapitate Muslim girl -- no, wait...

Actually, oddly enough, it was jihadists who decapitated a Christian girl.

An undated but apparently recent item from the Barnabas Fund, "Angola - Girl Decapitated In Attack By Muslim Extremists":

Muslim extremists recently attacked the Christian community in the town of Andulo. In an horrific incident, the school-age daughter of a deacon at one of the churches was decapitated. Forty believers were assaulted or tortured, and one of them needed 20 stitches in his head. The mob burned three church buildings. They also went to believers’ houses to intimidate them and damaged or destroyed items of property. Stones were thrown at the headquarters of a local Christian project, causing some damage.

Commenting to Barnabas Fund, an Angolan Christian leader said that the local police were unable to stop the attack and fled the scene, and the government seems reluctant to take action against Muslims, perhaps because it believes that Muslim aid is valuable to the nation. The community in Andulo is confused and disturbed, not least because they had believed what the Muslims told them: that Islam is a peaceful religion and that Muslims and Christians are brothers and sisters, worshipping the same God....

Thehandsome?

Trudy makes interesting points that help to evaluate this startling account in this Dutch Newspaper. I would add to her comment, that the story has not been picked up by the major news media in the USA. Perhaps they share her opinion of De Teleegraf.

Iranian Award-winning film ’The Song of Sparrows’ will premiere in 13 countries worldwide.
France, US, Germany, Mexico, Belgium, Greece, Norway, South Korea, Mexico and Portugal are among the 13 countries to screen Majid Majidi’s movie in the upcoming months, Mehr News Agency said.
Fortissimo Films, the Netherlands-based film production and distribution company, has clinched global rights to the film.
’The Song of Sparrows’ earned Reza Naji the Silver Bear for best actor at the 58th Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale).
Prior to its win at the Berlinale, the film also took the best director, editing, original score and makeup prizes at the 26th Fajr International Film Festival.
The film’s Tehran premier is scheduled for October 1 concurrent with Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
It also participated in numerous international film festivals, including at the 43rd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic.
’The Song of the Sparrows’ is the story of Karim, who enjoys his work as ostrich breeder at a ranch in Shahriyar, west of Tehran. He is a loving husband and father of three who is laid off from work because one of the birds runs away into the hills.
He commutes to the city and his efforts to help his family lead to succession of problems.

Afghan child mortality linked to uneducated mothers

HONG KONG (Reuters) -- High child mortality rates in conservative Afghanistan are linked not just to war but to mothers being uneducated and having little or no say when their children need medical help, a study has found.

Child mortality rates in Afghanistan are among the highest in the world, and one out of every five Afghan children (or 191 out of every 1,000 live births) will not survive beyond age five.

The study of 2,474 children from 1,327 households in Kabul province found that diarrhea (32.5 percent), acute respiratory infection (41 percent), emaciation (12.4 percent) and stuntedness (39.9 percent) were among the most common health problems, said the article published in the latest issue of BioMed Central Public Health.

""As in other countries, the primary caregivers of small children in Afghanistan are their mothers; however, in this country, mothers are subject to a number of restrictions in the decision-making process regarding child healthcare,"" said the article published by a team of Afghan and Japanese researchers.

The researchers said they interviewed mothers of the children and found the problems correlated most closely with mothers not having any autonomy (79.1 percent) and education (71.7 percent).

Up to 18.3 percent of the mothers also delivered their first child before they were 16, which meant they were married when they were still children, the researchers wrote.

A shortage of basic material needs was also observed in 59.1 percent of the households.

The researchers defined a lack of maternal autonomy to mean mothers requiring permission from the head of the household to bring a child to the doctor, or if she required another person - usually a male relative - to accompany her to a clinic with the child.

Afghanistan is deeply conservative and women´s movements are still restricted in many parts of the country.

The researchers defined a lack of education as not having attended school for at least a year.

""The poor economic and educational status of these women, and their overall immaturity caused by a lack of learning opportunities may have resulted in difficulties in preventing illness in their children,"" they wrote.

They called for change in Afghan society. Families needed to be educated and the government must play its part, they said.
