to be Frank I don't know about Ms.Ridley. But I just saw the Documentary a journalist made living with the Taliban. They promised his safety at first but then abducted him for ransom. One way to escape them is converting to islam and he did. They released him after much trouble. This is Taliban. Unreliable, savage and stupid.
The woman there wear those primitive clothes because they fear their lives. Taliban is still not wiped out. They will shed the burqa when they know the last Taliban is dead. Since that is not possible, future isn't better for Afghan women.
Bottom line is, Taliban , be it Afghan or Pakistani is bad. The sooner they are finished , the better the world will be. Americans are doing the dirty job Pakistani army is supporting them. There shouldn't be any complaints.
Hello,
If u stopped after the 1st bolded part i would have not responded to u since u accepted u didnot have an idea about miss Ridly ( eventhough it was not right for u to comment something that dont go any idea of it ur credibility at stake or knowledge). We r here to exchange view on +ve way and not to score points ( alteast i say it about my self). Again u put urself in not a good situation by talking about some journalist, or documentary made by dutch , norwegian , german of bla bla media group. U have only one side of the story it is may be true wat happened to journalist or may be in not the same way that u have stated. Forcing of conversion if it was true taliban would have forced all the sikhs living in afghanistan during their government when they had all the authority.
Taliban r not reliable , this is not right if they were not reliable they would have handed osama to U.S. After all who in good state of mind would like his country be bombed, loose his grip just for one person. They r not reliable for u, for the west but reliable for their friends or whomever is on their land who asked for their help now u tell me they treated some journalist bad without having the other side of the story i cant accept it. If the international community didnot boycott them and helped them in some ways may had some say on their politics.
Afghanistan is in state of war since 79 when there was no sign of taliban. Taliban r stupid , they r narrow minded tribal culture agree on all these points but does this give the west to invade a country and call them terrorist and take their right to fight the invaders. PPl of the land r called terrorists and and invaders r praised ( dbl standard)
I guess u never seen any video shots of kabul where u see ladies wearing burqas? Again u r trying to twist the fact wearing a burqa or scarf is islamic didnot u see muslim ladies doing it by their own will in the west? Why there r laws to ban burqa, niqab on public places in some wetern countries.
Bottom line is since taliban r muslims doesnot have tuxedos, dont talk english didnot obey the western masters and their allies they need to be bombed and killed.
Bottom line, Most of the muslims do not approve what taliban were doing but never accepted how they were treated before the war or after.
Again dont bring pakistan
Regards
