Mahdi:
Do you post on Ummah.net/forum? There are usually some pretty knowledgable (and argumentative/entertaining) discussions between Afghans there. Some good stuff. Usually in the "current events" section.

mahdisoldier19 and Anonymous1, hi fellas. I must ask you both, I suspect soldier's answer will differ a little because he has a more direct connection, but I am interested in your answer too anonymous1. So anyway, you both have expressed support for the destruction of the buddists' statues, but wasn't that a violation of what the prophet had taught? I understand that islam teaches to be respectful of other religions. certainly it must not have been much of a concern that anyone would worship the statues as 1)people would not dare do this under sharia law in public, and 2)I doubt there are many buddists in Afghanistan (perhaps mahdisoldier can clarify this point - he would know better than I if any buddists exist there). Thanks.
