Hi waitasec

This is not true. Because.

Evil acts are evil acts - regardless of whether a person claims a religion, or if they think they are doing these acts for the "good" of a civilization or mankind. In other words, the end doesn't justify the means.

i don't see any difference between the rivalry of gangs and violent sectarianism.
one is justified by hate, the other by god...
both are justified.

There is no fundamental difference between Taliban and 'normal' people; everybody is violent, only the taliban are rather open about it, whereas average folks are not.

I don't personally know anyone violent. At all.

Yeah, violent nutjobs like to use such rationalizations to excuse their primitive behavior. So sad.

As much as I object to this, there is a point to be made ...

I recall many years ago discussing travel plans with some friends of ours. My wife and I had purchased a couple of 15 Eurail Passes and I was having a ball figuring our how we were going to wind our way through Europe, including Germany. One of my friends (also Jewish) was insensed that we would be touring the erstwhile home of the Third Reich.

His comments angered me for two closely related reasons. It was a bigoted assertion of guilt by association. At the same time, it suggested that genocide was a Germanic thing and not something that non-German society need guard against, as if we (whoever the 'we' might be) were inherently above such things. It blamed the wrong people for the past and left us unprepared to guard the future.

The Taliban are, as one person noted, "nutjobs," but so are the Klan and the Baruch Goldsteins of the world. It is not simply a quality that we find in the 'other' but a capacity of the species about which we must be educated and against which we must be vigilant.

The Taliban are human beings. But the Taliban living in the age of bronze. This is because Islam. Iran, Turkistan, Afghanistan, the geography has undergone Arab imperialism. But the west is not innocent. Russian war in Afghanistan, supported the fundamentalist Islam. Afghanistan, for thousands of years of Arab, Mongol, Russian, Western, have suffered the invasion. Unfortunately, Afghanistan does not humanism.
