Taliban Offer Question-and-Answer Service Online

First time accepted submitter nachiketas points out this story about a new online service offered by the Taliban. "Worried about whether Islamic verses on Facebook are allowed? Or that suicide bombers kill innocent civilians? Afghanistan's Taliban have set up a new question-and-answer section on their website to address such issues. The facility on Voice of Jihad, the official website of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan — the Taliban's own name for their movement — allows readers to submit queries to spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. It is a demonstration of how far the insurgents' attitude towards technology has changed."

  1. islam is disgusting, other religions are not by OeLeWaPpErKe · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You just gotta love the moral equivalence argument. By this logic you should blame your neighbor for slavery, not just in America, but blame him for the paedophilic prophet's selling of slaves' children for sex, or himself buying a child specifically for paedophilic sex. Or blame him for cannibalism. Or communism. After all some portion of humans once did that, they're human, so they're guilty, right ?

    Just so you know, Christians believe first in the New Testament. You know, that little book that mentions Christ. You may have heard of it.

    And while Judaism certainly has some bad rules, the basis of our law system is ~90% Judaic law (with a number of major corrections coming from Christianity). Do you honestly think it's worse or somehow equal to what the taliban are "proposing" ? Judaic law is far better than islamic law in that it's not racist, does not demand eternal war, does not have slavery (it does have 7-year unbreakable employment contracts, which come somewhat close, but nothing like islam's buy and sell women, then rape them or rent them out for others to rape them, or the paedophile prophet who demanded slaves work for camel urine, then when they refused tortured them to death).

    Let's get some perspective here. Islam is a disgusting abomination, that's true. That does not mean that every religion is the same level.

    What I truly wonder is how muslims justify believing that a paedophilic racist abomination and thief like the islamic prophet is somehow worth more than an execution and a huge apology to all his victims. I of course, sadly, know the justification given in islamic text. Because he won military battles and his tactics will supposedly give his followers military domination over everyone else. That does nothing but make islam even more disgusting in my eyes.
