These brave fighters fighting for freedom from those evil Americans are out there threatening girls just because they dared to learn how to read and write, instead of staying cooped up at home in some ninja squad waiting on their master...

If it wasn't so depressing, it would actually be kind of funny...

analogfalcon38, you got a sister?
Would you let her go to school?

I honestly don't see the point of threads like this. What is the intended takeaway here? That Muslims are unintelligent? Or that Islam somehow prevents women from getting an education?

Given how many repulsive things Christians have done or continue to do, what would be the purpose of listing them all now?

For what it's worth, I am a Muslim and a believer living among other believers. I can tell you firsthand that in my community, there is actually more focus and care put into educating girls than boys—mostly because the assumption is that men will just end up working construction anyway.

We all know how this goes... it isn't really about whether someone is Muslim or not... it’s more about dealing with primitive civilizations... and I guess people from Afghanistan are just built that way...

ampak😉, yet you're still rooting for the Taliban! Amateurs who barely know anything about Islam would call this "Islamic absurdity"🙄

Funny, I had no idea I was such a huge fan of the Taliban. 😍

What's the logic here? If I'm not cheering for them, does that automatically mean I'm on the side of the Taliban? 😁

History has shown that Americans can be world-class occupiers, so rooting for them isn't really on my agenda. On the flip side, groups like the Taliban or bin Laden haven't exactly brought anything but chaos our way—not that anyone ever asked them for help in the first place. So, there goes that option too.

Honestly, I'm just rooting for you, my friend. 🙂

Thanks, buddy🙂!!!

Anyway, glad to see you back on the forum👍 because I spend all my time talking about intelligent (and, by extension, dangerous😉) Islamists🙏 while my friend analogfalcon38 keeps trying to tell me I'm wrong.🙄😢

It's a real circle of life, isn't it? 😉!!!

When you wake up in the morning feeling a bit nauseous, look out the window at a gloomy, overcast sky, and think to yourself... oh no, not more Islamists. 😁

Any random guy on an Islamic forum: "I'm all for the rebels in Iraq and Afghanistan...
But I can't get behind bin Laden, al-Qaeda, or the Taliban"... 😵

Yeah, right. In that scenario, I’d just brew some coffee, fire up my PC, and check in on the Islamists🙂. See what kind of mess they managed to make while I was busy getting my much-needed rest☕ ...

But have you ever stopped to ask why?

People simply can't stomach the American occupation, given the crimes committed during it. At the same time, they find it impossible to endorse the methods used by figures like bin Laden and his band of outlaws. It’s quite simple, really: they feel compelled to support any movement resisting the American presence, just not through the chaotic lens of bin Laden's followers.

Well, I guess you could have been okay with the chaos caused by Saddam's sons and chemical Alija?
And how exactly would these rebels fight back, in your opinion? Would they use Gandhi's methods? I wonder what the Quran says about turning the other cheek.

What kind of disgusting things are Christians doing? 🤷
Posting on Fridays? Decorating Christmas trees? Caring for lepers in India? 🤷
Maybe you could clarify that for me...
