Talking to the Taliban - Afghanistan

Feb 2007
What prompts someone to join and then defect from the Taliban? A few months ago, the men in this report were Taliban fighters. Now, they have been accepted into an amnesty programme.

"We laid down our arms because we benefit from it", admits one Taliban defector candidly. But their sympathies seem to lie with their former colleagues. They accuse the government of corruption and complain foreign soldiers ignore local customs. "Until now, the wishes of the Afghan people have been ignored ... That's why people are joining the Taliban." Despite now relying on government protection, these ex-fighters are confident enough to dictate terms. "If I go back now, I will tell my people the amnesty programme is worthless", states one. They're demanding the release of six colleagues.

Once in a while everyone makes a big deal out of killings in america etc. But have you motherfuckers thought about how many people die every single day in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine etc???? You dumb asses dont give a crap about our people then why the fuck would we give a crap about yours?

There is only one rational reason any American would want to go fight Afghans and that's to stop Osama's Al Qaida gangsters from murdering 3000 Americans a day like he did 11 September 2001 by hunting them down and killing them first. Give us those backstabbing infidel sons of bitches and there's next to nobody in America who would want us to stay there but we don't have any rational reason to let a suicide cult kill us.

All Muslims would have to do to convert the world to Islam in a world with freedom of speech and majority rule is have children and preach the Koran. The KGB spent billions conning Muslims into the stupid idea that buying AK47s from Russian atheists making atheists richer and Muslims poorer and getting large numbers of Muslims killed in stupid unnecessary wars with each other and the world makes more sense,

[Texasjim2007]

Al Qaida uses AK-47s and RPGs manufactured by what country? Saudi Arabia? No.Egypt? No. How can anybody claim to be fighting for Islam against infidels when they are taking money from Muslims to buy weapons from Russian atheists and using them to murder U.S. Muslim GIs and fellow Afghan Muslims? Want us to get out give us Osama's lying Commie Al Qaida infidels and we've got no real reason to stay.

@MuminahG ISLAM Cannot withstand rational criticism, scientific examination or forensic inquiry. Islam can only spread and maintain itself by ignorance, illiteracy, war, terrorism, and intimidation. Islam has bloody borders and cannot co-exist peacefully with other belief systems. Winston Churchill said that Islam in a man is as dangerous as hydrophobia (rabies) in a dog. Islam demands obedience and blind following, and forbids itself to be tested.

ISLAM = EVIL
