It is outrageous and heartaching to see this young man punished so heavily only for these funny accusations while the world most dangerous criminals are set free by Afghan govt. The criminals who has killed civilians indiscriminately, organised suicide bombers, murdered kids only because they attended school e.g. some Taliban commanders or who were involved in ethnic cleansing of Hazars like Sayyaf are either freed or occupy high ranking posts, and all main mission left for our govt is to protect Islam this way? Painfully funny!
I wish we were able to get rid of this ignorant Islam at whatever cost once for all. For god sake have not been we already suffering enough for 3 decades? Our girls were banned from school as was told that is unislamic; had to grow beard like a gorrilla another requirement; working women had to sit at home hangry to become Islamic; listening to music was punishable offence and all other insanities......!
We strongly feel that we need another saviour like Abu Muslim Khurasani who can rise and save us all from the tyranny of religion extremism of Taliban, Taliban-like scholers as he saved Khurasan from religious oppresion of Amavids. All we need is the real Islam of love and respect for human kind & life as is clearly being taught by our late scholers e.g. Maulana Jalaluddin Balkhi/ Rumi and many others. These guys grossly misrepresent Islam and their way of religion is only a devastation to our age and civilisation.
It is very important that we have the Afghan government on the side of sanity for a moderate version of Islam to disseminate and rule our lives and give us a space to breath. Otherwise it feels like we are heading towards life in a hell.....!
