Skanky Old Mongrel!
6 months.......You didn't answer the question.
And we have already heard that police officers were hugging Taliban warriors as they entered towns, etc.

6 months.......You didn't answer the question.
Oh no we were not. You brought up gays, didn't you?We're not talking about Iran or Indonesia. We are talking about the Taliban.
No it is not. And you've just asked for 6 months!this is like saying that if the Nazi's would have reclaimed Germany 20 years after their defeat "let's wait and see how Germany will be under their control".
What exactly is OK?Do you honestly think it would turn out to be ok?
What.... Like Dunkirk? Or Saigon?Well to be fair, they weren't defeated. They were just outlasted. Big difference.
Now just copy/ post my words which suggest optimism about Afghanistan. All I know is that the Mullahs now rule Afghanistan and we must wait to discover how things will turn out.Having said that, this isn't about choices. It's about what we can expect to happen there now.
You are delusionally optimistic.
You know what will happen?We know what will happen.
Sure, they might be a bit smarter now in terms of "let's not allow jihadist groups to operate and plan attacks on the west from our territory anymore", realizing what it will result in. Or at least at first.
Don't pretend to know what I think.But if you honestly think Afghanistan is suddenly going to become a nice place to live, without all the barbaric nonsense we can expect from these medieval pricks and without brutal trampling of basic human rights etc, .... Be serious please.
No you don't.We know these guys. We know what they are all about.
And it will not be pretty.
But a lot less free - so fine if you like religious dictatorships.Everybody seems to know what the Taliban are, what they will do, how they will think.
But nobody had the first clue about what they would or could do a fortnight ago.
I think I'll wait to hear how the Mullahs of Afghanistan decide to rule.
In a week or so, Kabul will certainly be a safer place to go than many Western cities.....for sure.
Don't waste it....aim it.I feel like I’m going to puke.
If we can't discuss any group but the Taliban, does that mean we are Talibanned?Oh no we were not. You brought up gays, didn't you?
No it is not. And you've just asked for 6 months!
What exactly is OK?
Is China OK?
Russia?
Where you live?
Don't you remember how Israel was founded by previous terrorists? Brit soldiers who were there remember.
North American Indians could probably tell you about terrorism.
What.... Like Dunkirk? Or Saigon?
If you say so.
Now just copy/ post my words which suggest optimism about Afghanistan. All I know is that the Mullahs now rule Afghanistan and we must wait to discover how things will turn out.
You know what will happen?
You'd better get in touch with your government.... They need your brains!
Don't pretend to know what I think.
But I do think that you don't have the first clue about them.
No you don't.
You wanted 6 months. . Remember?
As Young as 12: Taliban Forces 'Marry' Girls Forcibly | Al BawabaWoman shot dead outside her home 'for wearing tight clothes'
Afghanistan: Taliban executes young woman for wearing 'tight clothes' in northern Balkh region
A young Afghan woman was shot dead by the Taliban for wearing a 'tight' dress and not being accompanied by a male relative.
Adil Shah Adil, a police spokesman in Balkh was quoted as saying that the victim was named Nazanin and that she was 21 years old.The woman was attacked after she left her house and was about to board a vehicle to travel to Balkh's capital Mazar-e Sharif.
The woman was wearing a burqa, a veil that covers the face and body, at the time of the attack, the police said.
You think I like theocracies?But a lot less free - so fine if you like religious dictatorships.
Luv it!If we can't discuss any group but the Taliban, does that mean we are Talibanned?
What Officials told this newspaper?
What has this to do with the murder?
The Taliban were not in power when this murder happened.
The Police were still in control of that district.
Have you heard about the Afghan government's press release?In control? What bonafide source to you take? As one person said, "It does fit the status quo of the Taliban and the Taliban isn't under the control of police. For that matter, the police may not care. In the absence of the presence of what was authority, the vacuum creates all sorts of situations.
Remember, nobody believe the Holocaust was happening either.
As Young as 12: Taliban Forces 'Marry' Girls Forcibly | Al Bawaba
The website, above, says that 12 year old girls are now forced by the Taliban to marry (including sex).
Does America have the right to police the world? Wars are expensive. They have had their culture for thousands of years. Eventually, married couples learn to love (or tolerate) their spouses.
Should the daughters of Americans be allowed to choose their own mates? Perhaps some hippy whose talent lies in getting high on crystal meth? A man with no job, no future, who constantly gets himself and others in trouble with the law?
Arranged marriages unite clans and attempt to assure prosperity. They are arranged by older folks, who have seen marriages fail.
There have been reports of women-centric shops with notices pasted on them warning them not to enter or they would ‘face the consequences’. Taliban fighters reportedly shot dead a woman wearing ‘tight clothes’ and in some areas women cannot leave home without a male chaperone.
Here are news reports from British, American and Australian journalists covering the same subject.

I hope this, aside from the Indian and French news reports, will help dissolve doubts on the credibility of the news report.

Gunmen shoot dead former news anchor in Afghanistan's Kandahar

Afghanistan violence: Journalist Malala Maiwand shot dead along with her driver
These are around four or more female TV Afghan anchors and journalists, Mursal Habibi, Mina Khairi, Nimat Rawan, Malala Maiwand, who were killed even prior to the Taliban takeover in the last few months.
My respects to these inspiring brave women.
It appears that things were boiling hard even before the NATO-US forces left.
Hmm. Let me point out something to you.
Read that BBC article you had shared. Do you see the difference in legitimacy in the way it is written? Look at the specific details, where, when, who, which origin, mothers details, direct quotes from the victim herself, authentic condemnation, disclaimers, direct information on organisations, writing style, no repeated names that obscure, no cut and pastes. You could easily spot that is a proper journalistic piece.
Thats the type of information you should read and consider.
Just saying.
Hey, thanks for the information, pal.
The BBC has indeed slipped on standards in the last few years.
Why don't you showcase some cool Iranian journalistic articles on similar themes to illustrate the points you have described above !
You can show Iranian news articles that would shed some knowledge on the 'One Million Signatures' , an initiative by Iranian women in support of changing discriminatory laws in Iran.
Also about Iranian journalist and activist Parvin Ardalan who was arrested and sentenced to prison along with other women activists while campaigning for women's rights as she was perceived as a threat to national security. She received the Olof Palme Prize in 2007.
Hopefully, other world news agencies could learn from these Iranian case studies of journalism free from bias and propaganda and renowned world-wide for their transparency, objectivity and detailed information, and thereby raise their standards.
Both, because killing should be avoided killing is unnessesary
For an pasifist it is always other choicesKilling should be avoided. But killing is not always unnecessary.
Sometimes, there is no other choice.
