Might be true. Might not. Well, unless you think they are monkeys or subhuman in some way, the same things that hurt you, hurt them. If your father is kidnapped and killed, if your sister is brutalized and oppressed, if anyone who objects has to live in constant fear, you hate it and so do they. Q.E.D. And now you allege that the majority of Afghanis have had relatives kidnapped and killed by the Taliban? What is your support for that proposition? I understand that watching Christians being fed to the lions was a very popular spectator sport in Rome at one time, and that the sponsors of those events were wildly popular. The similar stadium executions in Afghanistan were popular also. Does that mean that either of them a morally good way to treat people? No. Your "tolerance" of other "cultures" is causing you to support brutality against people and is immoral. You should change. As I've said before, I'm not backing the Taliban. My interest is in intellectual honesty and truth. Too Funny! |
