I have no idea, but i am thinking some one needs to put a brain among some of these idiots.
No comps then how do you progress.
And K that was a low insult of the religion.
I suggest you keep your racist bigoted ideas to yourself.
Our’s not to reason why,
Our’s but to do and die:

Do you guppies know one of the young Afghan minister with a long beard spke good english was here in US. He listed all the good Talib did when they came to power. One of them was some Afghans were trading their daughters and Talibs out lawed that. How about growing popy which is also out lawed and verified by UN. And this young gentleman had a big list of their achievements.

Exactly. I think people should have the courage to emphasise the very positive achievments these people have made, instead of just harping on the negatives. Then again people for their own political or bigoted reasons want to just harp on the negatives. Pity.
well guys i wont paint taliban in the brush the west and indians would like to paint and i admire thier fighting skills and the fact that they brought peace to a region which has seen so much turmiol. and infact i myself belong to the same clan as the afghans as iam also a pahktoon by blood my ancesters were pakhtoons but i think there has to be a limit to which taliban are enforcing as i see it thier version of islam
as far as hijab is considered its understandable but no girl must be prevented from getting education thats deploreable and i was crirical of talibans destruction of budhha statues likewise this edict of banning lipstick is understanadle but banning of internet needs a second thought for some one needs to educate our taliban brothers that internet is not all about pornography but it has certain good uses too like they can use interent for dawah too.
so i guess iam not completely on the taliban side in this matter. i have my reservations

KABIR,
I agree with you just read this,…please.
Here is the Site to Goto,…for more Informations,…
One would have thought by now that with the Taliban’s penchant for outlawing almost everything under the sun, there would have been nothing left to ban any more. However, the world has been proved wrong. Arguably presiding over the world’s most controlled and repressive society, the Taliban seem determined to make the lives of ordinary Afghans even more miserable and stifling. The latest prohibition decreed by them concerns the use of the Internet, imposed to ‘protect’ the local population from pornography and western influences.
Those behind this absurd regulation - absurd even from a technological point of view because it would be next to impossible to actually enforce it - obviously have no regard for the endless opportunities of information and education that the Internet brings.** Banning it is like saying that because pollution damages one’s lungs people should stop breathing. This analogy is perfectly valid because if a society chooses not to make use of information technology it will be left behind by those who do; the world will not wait for nations that self-righteously reject something as basic as information technology. **
Such prohibitions would have made sense perhaps in a wholly regimented society or in a country ruled by a fascist and paranoid government. A government that wants to control the minds and actions of its people to an extent that it is willing to ban any contact with the rest of the world. Perhaps the real reason for this prohibition is that the Taliban do not want the Afghan people to know what’s going on in the rest of the world. Perhaps they are afraid that by doing this the population will see just how far they have regressed.

Feel bad for you dost,…
Why do that(banned lipsticks)? I agree that we should look the good thing and also the bad thing in everything, but sometimes its this little things that show the real mentality of people.
Doesn’t the taleban knows that People judge all Muslim from the action of few well known that claim themselves to be highly religious.
This news covered in BBC.
I am not satisfy. Why lipsticks are banned?
AS Posted by BabyDoll,..

babyDoll,
you are worried about LipStick,..read my response to KABIR,..on Page 1,..you will be surprised.
Also,IF SOME PEOPLE CAN'T TAKE POSITIVE CRITICISM THEN ITS THEIR PROBLEM....MAY BE THEY DON'T WANNA SEE THE REALITY,...
I don't just want to keep looking at 3 % of their good things,..while Bad things out-weigh the good ones.
READ THIS again,.....

ZZ,
You are using Islam in generalized terms now,...We don't share Islam as Talibans are having,...Therefore rephrase your question....Kapeesh
Every muslim country does have its own interpretation of Islam and how they practice it in the system.
Big deal if Talibans have thier own!
