And I am getting the underlying impression that you are happy with the murderous sanctions that are killing the afghani kids, or the indian army thats killing the kashmiris, or the israelis that are killing palestinians.
This has nothing to do with Kids which u keep bring.
To you it doesnt, since as mentioned above, you seem to be ok with their murders and inhumane deaths.
Afganis should take care of their kids like all of us do...it is not world's responisibility to look after them or their kids.
Then the world should leave all business decisions to individual countries. Just because America cannot have Osama, doesnt give it the right to engineer UN backed sanctions that will force the entire world to cut off business dealings with Afghanistan. There should be a height to selfishness and desperation.
I guess you have no sympathy for women, whole world knows how badly they are treated in Afganistan.
Women dont need 'sympathy' from me. They are regarded as equal beings in Islam, hence they will get the same amount of sympathy as will men. Such disparity does not exist in Islam. Maybe in hinduism, but not in Islam.
I have not seen anybody covered head to toe in North America. Covering is religious sactioned and implemented with great zeal...it is not left on an individual to decide.
Now I have to question whether you are indeed living in North America or not. I guess you have never seen a hijabi woman. Most muslim females on this very forum will testify to wearing hijabs themselves, and that they do so without any pressure, and with pride.
Try walking around covered from head to toe for one day u will realize how punitive and hard it is.
For you, it is hard and punitive, no doubt. But then again, noone is asking u to wear it anyway. The ladies who do wear it, wear it out of modesty, and their own choice. And while wearing hijab, they conduct daily life affairs in public on a daily basis in more countries than you would care to believe.
To respect other people's choice is civilized to impose your will on others is controlling and uncivilized.
I think Pristine adequately answered this question above. Imposition of law is a system's responsibility. And in Afghanistan and other muslim countries, the system is governed by Islam. That is not a very hard concept to grasp.
Most of us wear suitable clothes, just as men do and we don't need anybody to tell us how to dress up. Most women have enough common sense to do that they are not slaves.
Can a woman walk naked in the US? refer to Pristines response above. What you fail to realize is that its not the law that we are comparing, its the extent of the law that is being compared. Its not the absence of something....its the lack or excess of it that regulates a society.
All non-muslims world hates the way Taliban treats women, minorities and their own people. We don't want to legitimize that by dealing with them.
With little logic, here u make it clear that your hatred is religiously motivated...something that has been proven adequately, yet you deny, merely to legitimize your false claims.
Pakistan wants to take over Afganistan and keep it as a colony that is why it is forcing Taliban government on the people of Afganistan.
This is Pakistan, not India. We do have have the habit of attacking neighboring countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh or China. That raw attitude is better suited to India that has engaged in limited or extended war with each of its neighbors except Nepal. Yet instead of adding colonies, they are ready to fall apart.
As for accusing me, most muslims hate non-muslims, read the posts on this forum regarding Hinduism, Indians and Americans etc.
The posts are instigated by Indian members, who are more than welcome to post here....and they make full use of that freedom....something that they dont get on indian forums. I know it gets boring after consistently praising yourself with no opposition whatsoever.
One just have to see where muslim countries are now...all that control of people and women and intense preoccupation with religion has sapped their energy, they have not produced any great scientist or thinker for centuries.
How many centuries are we talking about here? And not that I am going to list the names of great learned muslims, but its an extremely desperate act to say that muslims havent produced any great scientist for centuries, specially when you know thats not true. The main technological advancements in the world came only in the last 100 years...and they were facilitated for the westerners, not because they had better brains than muslims or the easterners, but because they managed to use military power to override eastern economies, thus disabling them to a large extent.
