Taliban are just your average tribal indigenous peoples. American media is full of lies.

Dude! The Taliban are students in seek of teaching US (us) a lesson. You can't say they are illiterate just because they don't speak our language, but they do however speak and read their own language. What they do to women are wrong, it's a genocide basically and they have no remorse. But when you talk about the Taliban it's a slap in the face to followers. But I'm not one, I'm just saying.

Dr. Saleem Qureshi, u r uttering nonsense in the comforts of yr university. Go to the fields with those Americans and later to those pig-head talibans. Tell us what have u gained-that'll be a better choice than yr imaginations would be.

Characteristics, coward, medieval, lustful,

resists oppositions, kill w/o conscience, murderer n greedy for 72-sows n loved 2 b addressed as martyr s jihad has no course! Lets not pretend 2 b intellectual about them. What if they appear at yr doorsteps n set-upon yr family n friends. Would anyone chose 2 will give them a clean bill? They have no roots than from pigs that they r born.

Disagreed 2 the earn-definition s warlord. Basically a bunch of illiterate, gangsters or mafias disguised in d name of Allah. Their modes-operandi, intimidations, killings, oppose what is good, rapes, cultivating harems, extortions, opium-cultivators n smugglers.

Actually, yes. I am a professional comedian. Youtube pays me to try to make people laugh in the comments section. I think what you are trying to say is "You are bullshit" or something along those lines. Seriously though, why the hell do you care about what I say? Are you one of these RPG toting mountain dwelling sacks of shit?
