I don't need evidence to show that you are an extremist. You have already shown you are. Am I from Afghanistan? Obviously you know I am not. We do speak the same language and we are neighbors and I do know hundreds of Afghans. I go to their soccer games in Virginia and I go to their concerts. Not one person has said they like the Taliban. I've dated a handful of them and I know plenty of families who have returned to Afghanistan because they finally feel safe to be there now that the Taliban are not in control. Go do a google search for the Afghan Americans who support President Bush when he invaded Afghanistan and you will see a huge majority of them did.
Your calling me an extremist does not make me one. You have already shown you are quite a non-conformist Muslim
I did not know you were not from Afghanistan and I therefore asked you.
I'm glad you go to Afghan 'soccer games' and 'concerts'. However, I've lived amongst Afghans for almost two decades, since Pakistan is a neighboring country and also provided refuge to millions of Afghans who fled during the Soviet occupation and the subsequent civil war. I believe it would be safe to say I would have better knowledge of Afghan sentiments than you, specially since you are in contact with those Afghans who obviously had better means than common Afghans to take the trip to the United States.
Afghans being safe after the Taliban is gone? HA HA!!! Do you not know about the fortress Mr. Karzai lives in? If the leader of the nation is not safe, you're claiming that the common folk are? Ridiculous.
If tribal people control a land and set the rules then they are not part of the government if they do not have anything to do with their laws as far as I am concerned.
Are you insane? Each state of the American union has its own laws which may or may not conflict with the Federal Laws. Many states still carry Capital Punishment while many do not. Many states are permitting homosexual marriages whereas many are not. Are you implying that the US Government is not in control of 100% of its land? You're funny.
You saw electronics being sent to the Taliban and not to the Afghan people. The Taliban did not rule 100% of Afghanistan for your information so who knows what part of Afghanistan the electronics were being sent. Why were you in that area to take witness to these shipments?
Yes, I am sure you would know who received the electronics. First you claim that communication did not exist because Taliban had banned electronics, and now you claim the Taliban received the electronics. As to your last statement, I went to Port Qasim, which is in Karachi, my home city because my work took me there. Containers had their destination tags on them. I hope you follow. Ask me again if you dont, and I'll try to explain it in even simpler words.
Regardless, if you are implying that Telephones were banned in all of Afghanistan, you're quite a nutcase.
No you are right I do not know the context of any tax and I refuse to believe anyone should be taxed anything because of their religion. Does that mean I am not a Muslim? maybe to you it might but you are not God to tell me otherwise. I know you are not a Shia so I am assuming you are a Sunni Muslim
If you do not know of the context, then do not speak about it. You can refuse to believe it but Zakat, a tax on Muslim is one of the five pillars of Islam. IF you are a Muslim, please do go read more about it. It is a fundamental part of Islam. I quote from the Quran:
"True believer are only those...who establish Salat and spend in Our way out of what We have given them." (8:3-4)
"My mercy encompasses all things, but I will specify it for the righteous who give Zakat" (7:156).
There are at least 32 instances in the Quran which mention Zakat that I know of. Please study your own faith before falsifying what I have said.
So if the Quran states that I cannot have anything that will that cause a disease, then it could be said I am not allowed to eat McDonalds for instance because it can be proven that McDonalds can cause heart disease ..Don't even tell me that is different from smoking because it takes a long time for smoking to give you lung cancer just as it will take me a long time to eat McDonalds.
This is a very good example of taking words out of context. Tobacco is an intoxicant as well as a known cause of causing life-threatening diseases. Tobacco companies state that cigarette smoking causes serious ailments and the only way out is to quit. McDonalds food is not an intoxicant, and McDonalds claims that its food should be eaten as part of a healthy diet. Hey, if you lie still all day and not do anything, even that will cause diseases. Grow up buddy.
What are your beliefs on women? Do you think women should cover up? I read your other post that you highly defended that they should. Would you marry a female that did not wear a scarf/rosari? What business is it of yours if females should cover or not. You are a man so therefore let the women decide what the hell they want to wear.
This is another issue completely irrelevant to this thread. God has enjoined both men AND women to cover up. So I think men AND women who profess belief in Islam should follow God's commandments. I dont think my primary reason for choosing a life partner would be a scarf. When you hear me telling you what to wear, then complain. I didnt ask you to wear a burqa, so stop whining like a wee child. What business is it of yours if I tell some woman, ANY woman what to wear? If she complains to you, then open your mouth. Maybe you should ask the above questions to the French government. I dont see you complaining about them, but you're quite vehement in demonizing the Taliban.
If your son cheated on his wife you would kill him. I get your main point. You are going to play God and kill him. You are not a religious man but a hateful man.
I dont know where you are coming from. Let me restate. Adultery/fornication carries the punishment of death/100 whips in Islam. EVEN if my son is found guilty of the crime, I will be carrying out the punishment as prescribed by Islam, NOT playing God. I would expect the same punishment should I be found guilty of the same crime. If you refuse to believe in your own faith, thats not my problem, its yours.
