The Taliban get rid of Idols first, preparing to create a true Islamic state, then they get rid of everything and everyone else that doesn't fit their view of how things should be. Oops, they are already killing their own before they took out the idols. When will it end?
Post #10,284 by Simon_Jester 9/23/01 5:14:16 PM Reply	Not sure what you mean... Afganistan has been in a civil war for quite some time. So of course they're killing one another. The reaction to the idols are part of their (taliban) stated beliefs, so their reaction is not surprising. I believe it's because of a hatred of Buddism. The taliban don't seem to care if it's Hindu or even Christian symbols, they will tear them down.
Post #10,287 by brettj 9/23/01 5:57:07 PM Reply	The Afghan tribes didn't destroy the idols until the Taliban ... got into power and bin Laden likely convinced them to destroy all things non-Islamic. They apparently kill people now with beards that are too short. They have stopped women from working or showing their face. They have murdered people that show any sign of support for Western views. Now they have apparently decided to start murdering Americans as well as their own, both in Muslem countries and now in the U.S. What I am suggesting is that the signs suggest that Osama bin Laden is starting his evil-minded Jihad and is using poor/hopeless people as his puppets. He already brain-washes all who enter his terrorists camps (or kills those that don't fall in line). P.S. Did you watch CNN last night: "Behind the Veil"? I managed to watch most of the scenes but it wasn't easy watching cold-blooded murder. CNN will replay this 1 hour presentation at 7 PM ET tonight.
