Those wacky Taliban folks in Afghanistan apparently aren't satisfied with just blowing up archeological treasures, supporting terrorism and oppressing women, now there taking a page out of the Nazi playbook.

Henceforth all Hindu citizens of Afghanistan will be forced to wear a badge on their clothing that identifies them as such. Further, Hindu women must conform to the dress standards imposed by muslim/Taliban law.

How do you say kristalnacht in Farsi? Time to fire up the ovens Mahmoud? These clowns just get better and better.
 
Religion and its deadly out come again.
Hitlers excuse for his attempts to annhilate the Jews, ...religious.
when is the world gonna wake up just because I don't believe in your God does not make it right for you to oppress me, tortue me, or kill me.
most of the most henious crimes down the centuries have been committed in the name of someones god.
The only answer for the plight of these people is for the world to be aware and for people like you and me to register our disgust at this sort of treat and to lobby our goverments in the vain hope that they can in some way influence the workings of another goverment. Perhaps if enough people and enough contries make thier views and thier horror know it might make some small difference. but unless the ordinary person is willing to stand up and voice thier opinion then nothing however small will change.
 
Right on!

But wouldn't it be easier to just let them piss off India until they toss a couple of nukes up from the sub-continent?

Sorry but groups like the Taliban understand and respect only force and power.
 
Like I said earlier, India will not stand for an Afghan holocaust. There will be war. If the Afghans do not back down war will happen. It will then be a true disaster. To get to Afghanistan, India has to cross Pakistan, if they do that it will be nuclear war.
 
Oops, forgot...to delite
Some men and women seek to dominate others using any tool possible. Some use religion, true, but others use different tools. Northern Ireland was never a religious conflict. It is political, which group will dominate the other. Look behind what countries say is religious motivation and you will find other reasons generally. Hitler did not need religion to do to the Jews what Afghanistan is doing to the Hindus. But they aretwo sides of the same coin. It is unfortunate that they invoke the name of God, Yahweh, or Allah for such base human things
 
Rambling why do we almost ngree but not quite,
religion is the excuse, it is some where to lay the blame,
as for norhten Irland that did not start off really relgious it started with the Irish being oppressed by the english and basically fighting to be treated like human beings.(much too complex to go into all the history) however because most of the english were protestant and the Irish catholics it has over the years become more and mire sectarian.

and lets hope that nobody nuc's anybody. There has to be some otherway ie diplomacy or some thing.
 
I hope not either..would be a worldwide disaster....see my last point on our other thread about religion being a force for liberation as well as oppression....its been nice sparring with you, catch you later!

Bangladesh has apparently just passed the same law.
 
War is inevitable.

It is like death and taxes.

It is human nature.

Where and reasons are semantics.

Nuclear weapons are the only reason of the late, relative world peace.

M.A.D. Peace (mutually assured destruction)
 
ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH...Great just Great...now Hindus will have another reason to kill Muslims,Well..as all of you know,I am a bad excuse for a Muslim,but one none the less,I have gone to the beautiful Hindu Temple here in Dallas before,guess that isn't going to be an option for a while,When ASSHOLES like this run a country...and Americans hear about it....all of a sudden,American Muslims become the epotomie of evil,traitors within country,and rednecks and self-styled patriots use this as an excuse for violence,nothing gets to Americans more than human rights abuses and/or religious freedom...or lack of,and save for a few inbred assholes,None cares for Nazis..or neo-Nazis,I am so damn sick of these crazy Shi'ites{shits is my name for em}Anything modern is considered satan inspired,ideas..tech..etc.


Insallah Allah that they get ousted in Afganistan,This is toooo much.

CH if it makes you feel any better, every Muslim I have met to date has been what I call "Good People". I am the exception, but that is what America is about, exceptions.

BTW my friend Abdul Azziz who is like a super Muslim, one who prays 5 times a day, has been to Mecca, and wears white on every Friday is the kindest man I have ever met. He would give anyone the shirt off his back if he thought they were cold and he makes the best scented oils I can get my hands on.

Scented oils over cologne, anyday.
 
Just a few qualifier's. I was not HOPING for India to vaporize Kabul. My experience with Muslims (outside of the Balkans, where there were few positive experiences with anyone) has been very positive.

If you take a look at MSNBC's news today there are a couple of relevant articles. The most significant fact in them is that there are only fifty to sixty thousand Taliban (which incidently means "student of Islam") members.

I don't see India getting particularly excited about the imposition of Sharia laws in Bangladesh but I don't see them sitting idly by if the Taliban take the next "logical" step. This has a potential to be a freakin' mess.
 
That would be damn near British in its understatement Lavender.
 
I guess they just don't share that one world view that a few of our members keep harping on.

Since China has determined the U.S. to be the enemy, India has been making very strong overtures to the U.S. Will they want to drag us in? I would argue, absolutely!

Then, we will be again painted as warmongers.

I guess I come by it naturally. :) Now if I could just pick up the gorgeous accent.

Yeah like I need more reasons to lust after you.lol

OK back to being serious.
 
But it does make sense. I saw it on some news page, World, something or other, but a Sino-Russian alliance has made the world's largest democracy a bit nervous as it does me. On the other hand, can we really rely on any alliance, treaty, or sworn loyalty in this, or any other day and age. Our word, our bond, our chop, our handshake, what do they mean anymore?
 
A Sino-Russian alliance??????

My understanding is that the Russians fear the Chinese more than anyone, and with good cause. Its no great secret that the Chinese covet the vast natural resources of Siberia. Additionally the cash strapped and rusting Russian military has very little ability, short of a nuclear exchange, to stop them. An imbalance of conventional military power that is becoming ever greater as the Russian military weakens and Chinese forces continue to grow and modernize.
 
Yeah, they fear and hate each other,
but they are guido's
and since they are,
they fear anybody stronger,
and will work together just long enough to bump us off before they go back to trying to rub each other out.
