Believe what you want chum. Now I know why you're slow minded : you're still living in 2001. There's a fundraising cave party in Tora Bora and you're invited.

Then what are you doing living in a secular Christian country like Canada, studying in a Jewish run University and using the Internet which the Taliban banned and conversing in the Infidel’s language? :hehe:

Shouldn’t you be on the front lines fighting the Christian Zionist invaders ?

Taliban. They encourage production of poppy and end products like opium and heroin. In fact that is what they use to buy new weapons with. So how is that in religious harmony with the Taliban?

Why is he hiding then? Go and fight on open fields...lets see how well he can manage to do that. He is a wanna be like his whole family. Done nothing but nothing for the Brits besides some conquering of other states and countries and made them to their slaves. And yet we are ready to worship them!

You folks are lost in CNN's la la land of idealogy. It's not about idealogy. It's about bread and butter.

All struggle in the world is between and about have's and have not's, no matter what the apparent BS.

Taliban can thus be defined as Afghanistan's Pushtoons have not's.

Wasn't I right about the oil from start. Just as $1 hits 0.65 euros, price of oil goes to $103 a barrel.

Britain: Harry’s Afghan deployment over
By D’ARCY DORAN, Associated Press Writer

Britain’s defense chief decided Friday to immediately pull Prince Harry out of Afghanistan after news of his deployment was leaked on the U.S. Web site the Drudge Report.
Air Chief Marshal Jock Stirrup, chief of the Defense Staff, said he decided to withdraw the prince after senior commanders assessed the risks, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Harry, third in line to the British throne, has been serving on the front line with an army unit in Afghanistan’s southern Helmand province since mid-December. He was originally due to return to Britain within weeks, but “the situation has now clearly changed,” the statement said.
The decision was based on concerns that worldwide media coverage of Harry in Afghanistan could put him and his comrades at increased risk.
The ministry asked the media not to speculate on Harry’s location — or how and when he would return — until he was back in Britain.
British officials had hoped to keep Prince Harry’s deployment secret until he had safely returned, but they released video of him serving in Helmand Province after the leak appeared on the Drudge Report.
The ministry deplored the leak by “elements of the foreign media.”
“However, this was a circumstance that we have always been aware of and one for which we have had contingency plans in place,” the statement said.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the prince had demonstrated that he was an exemplary young officer. “The whole of Britain will be proud of the outstanding service he is giving,” he said.
Harry, 23, is the first royal to serve in a combat zone since his uncle Prince Andrew flew helicopters during Britain’s war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands in 1982.
Tours to Afghanistan usually last six months; Harry has served 10 weeks.
Harry conceded in an interview filmed last week that when he returns to Britain he could be a “top target” for Islamic terrorists.
“Once this … comes out, every single person that supports them will be trying to slot me,” he said.
The deployment plan had been disclosed to reporters, with no specific date, but was not reported previously because of an agreement between the Ministry of Defense and all major news organizations operating in Britain, including The Associated Press. The news blackout was intended to reduce the risk to the prince and his regiment.
Harry was supposed to go to Iraq with the Blues and Royals regiment in May last year but the assignment was canceled because of security fears. Iraqi insurgents made threats on Internet chat rooms, saying he would not make it home alive.
Harry trained at Sandhurst military academy and joined the Blues and Royals as a cornet, the cavalry regiment’s equivalent of a second lieutenant. After being held back from his Iraq assignment, the prince threatened to quit the army if he was not given the chance to see combat.
Harry said his older brother, William, who also graduated from Sandhurst and is training as a military pilot, is jealous of his deployment. As Britain’s likely future king, Prince William is unlikely ever to see combat.

Helmand province is where most of the 7,800 British soldiers in Afghanistan are based. It has seen some of the country’s fiercest combat in recent years, with NATO-led forces fighting the Taliban and al-Qaida militants.
Harry’s work in Afghanistan has involved calling in airstrikes on Taliban positions as well as going out on foot patrols. He spent part of his deployment at a base 500 yards from Taliban positions, the military said.
Since Harry’s arrival, his battle group has been responsible for around 30 enemy deaths, a Ministry of Defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. Video showed the prince in camouflage fatigues walking across arid and dusty terrain, calling in air support, firing a machine gun and patrolling the streets of Garmsir, the southernmost part of the province. He has since left Garmsir, and his current whereabouts are being kept secret.

Re: NEW BREAK, PRINCE HARRY SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN FOR MONTHS, HE IS MY HERO

Well then those in Islamic countires aren't following Islam when it comes to women. You want to argue that women have more rights then men in Islamic countries?? Come on! What Islam says and what is practice are two very different things.

Re: NEW BREAK, PRINCE HARRY SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN FOR MONTHS, HE IS MY HERO

Which is why i didn't say anything about a 'perfect' muslim nation which follows the laws of Islam.

I stated that Islam guarantees women the highest rights. It would be good if the muslims countries followed Islam fully. :)

Re: NEW BREAK, PRINCE HARRY SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN FOR MONTHS, HE IS MY HERO

So little do you know about their ideologies man. But ofcourse, once you also join the forces you support, you might learn a little more :slight_smile:

As for following Islam, many do. This is a blessing of this Ummah, that a certain few will be on the righteous path, while sheytaan leads others astray. Till the end of times, a select few will still stay on the path, unlike Bani Israel where the Ummah fell apart, and were all led astray. This is a blessing of this nation.

May Allah swt allow us to be on the right path, and be the ones that are righteous, inshAllah!

Ameen
