My view on the Taliban was negative before this thread. It's sad that living in the west we believe what the Americans (israels slave) want us to believe. I have seen tv shows in Australia about how the Taliban treat women, bash them, degrade them etc.. After this post I feel so stupid for not looking into the real story, this is exactly why I don't watch tv or read newspapers here in the west anymore.. It just poisons our minds! Thank you all for opening my eyes.. I really love this forum & thank Allah for guiding me here.
