I started by following the Checneya war(s). I feel their cause was just.

Deffinately way different than other behind enemy lines style doc, its amazing the relationships the filmakers made, to see a waziri warrior almost breakdown wishing them a safe journey, and the whole thing he said before it just makes you think, if we could only speak to these people first it would be much better than just fighting them without knowing them as a people.

islam is a problem, it wants to be dominant and rule the world, it wants an arab culture everywhere. i will not defend the wealthy warmongering west but do not want islam in the west either. afghanistan was a buddhist country, i think it would be a better place if it still was.

Afghan muslims are descendents of afghans which converted to Islam. Sure, conversion didn't come by peaceful means, but does that justify their invasion, particularily when they NEVER harmed foreign peoples? Not even the Taliban.

@MrAhmad9843 The Afghani Muslim you glorified is the descendent of earlier invaders, who did exactly what westerners are doing now in Afghanistan, In fact Arab invaders killed far more people in their conquest than westerners ever did.

The man towards the end of the documentary who wished the reporter a safe trip back shows what a true muslim is like, although the west entered afghanistan and destroyed it, seperated the afghan people, created chaos, he still showed this westerner hospitality and even cried that he love for the sake of humanity.That is what a true muslim is about. Subhanallah, Allahu akbar

Is just.
