Please calm down your language my brother. I do not think that AbuFatimah posted this in any way, shape or form to suggest that the Afghans were now upstanding trading partners. If I am correct it was posted to highlight that another Muslim country's mineral welath was being exploited by the multi-nationalists. Do not let your annoyance of Abu Fatimah's Saudi favour, sufi repetition and Salafism cloak every single one of his comments. I have mentioned this before I do not agree with AbuFatimah on his Saudi stance however if I let this cloud every statement of his I will be doing an injustice. It also is not good for my blood pressure!! We will all have differences however speaking this way to each other is in no way healthy or conducive. Leave this language for the people who really deserve it.
