You tell others to look at their own nation's faults before pointing their fingers. Well guess what? I can point my fingers. You know why? Because I AM A WOMAN FROM AFGHANISTAN and therefore I have something to say to you.

While I don't disagree with you that all nations have their faults, especially in the statistics of crimes against women, YOU ARE WRONG that women in America have it worse. Women in America are allowed to leave their homes without the accompaniment of a male relative.

Do you realize that a very large part of the female population in Afghanistan are widows??? Because their husbands and other male relatives were KILLED in either the Russian invasion or in the subsequent Civil war?? Or, even worse, they were MURDERED by the Taliban. So what about those women? Do you know they are DYING because they cannot leave their homes??!! Do you understand that women in MY family have DIED because they could not leave their homes and seek medical attention. Children are STARVING to death because their fathers are dead and their mothers might as well be, because they are held prisoners by the TALIBAN.

Oh, and in a later post you stated that you were tired of your BROTHERS being dogged. Excuse me?? What kind of Muslim are you? You consider the Taliban your brothers? If so, you must realize you are supporting a religion that is not Islam. Islam is NOT what the Taliban follow. Not the same Islam that the rest of the world embraces.

No, the Taliban use the name of Islam as justice, but it is NOT the same belief system that Muslims around the world have faith in. After all, the religion that the Taliban considers Islam allows them to rape and murder and oppress and drink and do drugs and beat and destroy and live violently. This is not what Islam preaches. If the Taliban's Islam is what YOU follow, my friend, YOU are a Taliban supporter and therefore no better than those savage monsters that have destroyed my beautiful country.

Oh, and in response to your message about the Buddhist statues in the other discussion thread... Why shouldn't there be Buddhist statues there? After all, there are Buddhist people there. Afghanistan, much to your dismay, I'm sure, is NOT 100% Muslim. No country in the world is. No country will ever be.

That you, a Muslim, support the Taliban is shameful.
