    So if America invades your country and you resist you are a terrorist? Aye great logic:rolleyes:



    You don't know what you are talking about

    Al Queda and the taliban are not the same organisation. In fact there is no Al Queada in Afghanistan at the moment. Read up a bit.



    So because the taliban executed people we should support fighter jets dropping cluster bombs on villagers?

    By your user name that is to be expected. The Australians have a long history of proudly serving as cannon fodder for Brittish imperial interests. Your nations proudest moment is invading Turkey in 1915 and young men dying for no reason.

    I hear if they catch you spelling their name wrong they chop your lips off.

    The Taliban got back to me about you McDougal.
    They said they're full up.

    On reading your post the first thing that came to my mind was the famous beheading of a young woman whose alleged crime was adultery.

    I oppose the Taliban who want girls to be thick thru opposing them to be educated, simple as. I happily see you in the battlefield OP.

    Support the Taliban? Wise up, OP! They're the most brutal and misogynistic regime on earth! They're even worse than the Third Reich. At least Hitler and his cronies didn't use religion to justify their atrocities. The Taliban do. The way they bastardise Islam to prop up their tyranny is beneath contempt.

    DIE, TALIBAN! DIE!!! BURN IN HELL!!!

    So by replacing one form of oppression with another you are taking the moral high ground how, is that blatant hypocrisy or just naivety.

    I think all progressive people should hope the Afghan resistance forces kill and drive out the occupying Nato forces. While I understand people are uncomfortable supporting Afghan resistance because elements of it have links to fundamentalist islam, in a global sense their victory is desireable. It would be a bloody nose for aggressive imperialism and make the US and their dogs think twice before starting new wars. It is foolish to believe that bloodthirsty and imperialistic atheism and chritianity is preferable to islam.

    People say the taliban are animals but there is no evidence they would be any worse for Afghanis than the imperialist occupiers. The Americans don't give a damn abour rights for women or gays. If they cared about women and gays they wouldn't be bombing them and killing hundreds and thousands of them. Most of the young lads in the taliban are just nationalists who want the invaders and murderers out. It's not about religion. It's about American imperialism Vs nationalistic resistance. Similar to Vietnam in many ways and it is a positive thing the yankee dogs were driven out of there. All good people should support Afghan nationalists fighting to drive out the mercenaries and carpet baggers.

    OP, your ability to read and write will automatically disqualify you from joining the taliban. You can grow a nice pubey looking beard and fill it with lice and knock out a few teeth but YOU'LL NEVER FIT IN !

    So you believe killing women with clusters bombs is better than chopping heads off?

    And of course I don't support that crap, I'm an athiest and oppose militant islam. You however support militant imperialism.

    What oppression do I support? Supporting killing NATO soldiers in Afghanistan is not supporting oppression.

    Course they would be worse for the Afghanis. The Afghanis don't have the natural rhythm necessary for marching music.

    I dunno i think tallaght is not as bad as it used to be.

    The americans don't care about that. Karzai the current president and ally of the US is as bad as any taliban.

    No i don't support those actions of bombing people. That does not justify chopping heads off girls just because they seek an education.

    If you joined an Afghan secular organisation to resist foreign interference, i'd support you but you are not. You support a middle ages type freak organisation who believe in an extreme example of Islam where the rights of others who are not men are harshly brutalised.

    Whoever thought invading Afghanistan was a great idea needs to be kicked around a room somewhere. NATO are never gong to win out there, guts of a decade now and they still just about control the main cities.

    Here's how it will go down, in a few years time, they will leave Afghanistan, after talking to the Taliban and arranging a ceasefire, they will proclaim a victory for freedom and leave triumphant.

    The taliban is a very broad resistance group. Many of its members don't give a damn if women wear veils or not. Of course the western media want you to think they are all monsters and rapists. It helps them sell the war to the plebs.

    But those at the top do ensure women are systematically brutalised. And it's easy to tell the difference between stuff that's really happening, and propaganda.

    That doesn't answer the question you were asked.

    Also if you're going to be going down the road of "So you believe x form of brutality is better than y form of brutality" you need to ask yourself that very question, seeing as you've announced your support for two brutal organisations.

    I think you should hold off calling people plebs until you fully research the band of cuddle bunnies you wish to support.

    You oppose militant Islam but are willing to support the Taliban?

    The genesis of the Taliban is Wahhabi Islamic teaching from Saudi - makes Baptist Fundamentalists in the United States look like depraved degenerates.

    What's the question?

    Do I support oppression of women? No I don't

    Do I support Nato forces bombing women? No I don't

    Maybe if the Taliban let him run the country instead of continuing their terror he'd be able to help turn Afghanistan into a better place. I don't see how returning the Taliban to power would do any good what so ever

    How very chauvanistic of you. Only men can be terrorists?

    Perhaps the women were the targets because they were involved in the insurgency?
