It makes me glad to know, that as a believer, all I have to do is love my neighbor, although some would disagree, but that is what my bible says. I feel for the oppressed people in the world, but, America wouldn't be here if we hadn't gotten sick of the Brits old restrictions on religion, among other things. So, maybe one day, someone over there will drop a pair and stand up for Freedom! This is just one of those things that makes me glad that I am an American!

People will not be totally free or equal there for ages. <b>CarpetGuy</b>, Afghani Islamic Traditions are a bit different from other Islamic countries' traditions. So I don't really see how their court's ludicrousity could humiliate Islam. <em>KoTa's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/kotas/~3/220637899/' rel="nofollow">Tag Impressions</a></em> It happened in Afghanistan, so I’m not even that surprised, nothing seems to change there with time.

As far as I've understood, this practically makes the Afghan army puppets of the US army, while USA ignores domestic affairs. Iow, Afghanistan is what it has always been when it comes to freedom of speech and opinion. Sad, but in my opinion not surprising at all. And it's not in any way certain that things would've been better if USA had tried to change the situation in this matter. I believe it would only have been fuel for the conservative forces in Afghanistan. In my opinion this kind of change must come from the grass roots, ie have a broad support in the population. <em>nitro2k01's last blog post..<a href='http://gameboygenius.8bitcollective.com/wordpress/?p=123' rel="nofollow">Commentluv installed</a></em> It’s true that the US and Afghanistan are allies in the “war on terrorism” (In itself open for critique) but to say that Afghanistan are “good guys” now is a bit of a stretch.
