The family of the British doctor shot dead by gunmen in Afghanistan, today rejected Taliban claims that she was preaching Christianity to Muslims, saying she was not religious at all.

Karen Woo, 36, a surgeon from London, was among 10 medical workers killed in a remote area of northern Afghanistan on Friday.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings, with a spokesman saying the group was shot because they were "spying for the Americans" and "preaching Christianity". Today, Woo's family rejected this, calling her a "true hero" who had no religious or political agenda.

The Taliban's way of thinking is vastly different than the older form of Islam that flourished in Spain for 700 years. In that world, a world that has a history that's longer than North America's, what mattered was the belief in God. It is for this reason the Islamic state tolerated Jews and Christians. Those who did not believe in God were not tolerated.
