Probably has to do with the billions of dollars invested in Afghanistan at the moment.

What billions? Afghanistan is a vast tray of, well I won't say that, sand with some beautiful mountains stuck in it. Put together it is probably not worth a third of downtown Peoria.

Just a guess on my part. I agree that the media will pick and choose these things, based on a lot of external factors, not all of them particularly commendable. The media, for example, often highlights missing white women in the U.S.A. If a black woman goes missing, however, most people don't bat an eyelash. Unless she's pregnant. I was recently surprised that CNN would bother with running a story on a missing black woman, until I realized that she had one in the oven. What can I say? The media is as biased as any entity.

I think you will find that, in so far as this exists at all, it is a product of their audience's tastes, not media bias. White people don't care about missing Black women. There are too many of them and their stories are too complicated. Missing White girls are easy and simple and White people can relate.

What is this All about Talk about A Religion(Christianity) That is suppose to turn the other cheek, Yet They invade murder christians without trial during hte middles ages. They killed thousands of innocent people in the name of christianity. The church told the crusaders that the saracens ( Muslims) Mothers eat their own kids. Oh dont worry i have tons more to mention

there have been many anti christs within church ..like Jesus told us there would be...and there still is many even today...so I don't mind agreeing with you on that point.

but thats another topic...if you'd like to start one?


this topic is about one man who has harmed no one at all...besides worship our Lord God almighty. He isn't a rapist or murderer...
God gave him free will and he is exercising it.

After all the demos of 'those cartoons' and millions came out demostrating peacfully... that Islam is a peaceful religion and tolerant of other religions other faiths..and then this!.....


how then will this sit with world opinion of what people think Islam is all about...you may say! ...Muslims aren't bothered what others think...and that would be your right to...
But them Muslims shouldn't complain when people in the west say...those cartoon where correct.

this is sending out a mixed message of Islam.

This is an important point, God gave us free will to choose. The only catch is, if you don't use it as you should you will answer on judgement day.
So, God gave us free will, so who are we as men to take the free will from another man? It was given to him by God. Has man become so arrogant that he believes to know better than God?

Seems that way with one particular faith.

Yet another big difference between the God of the Bible and Allah of the Koran.

This proves the ignorance of some people on this board who have not even been to Afghanistan. You havent even been there. Dont talk about it because there are many beautiful places in Afghanistan you just dont see it on the News and wikipedia which is Probaly(Im not stating that you are you probaly do) where you get majority of your information from. Seriously if you havent been there dont talk about its beauty.

Exactly what am I displaying ignorance of here? I said it has some beautiful mountains. You seem to agree. What's your problem with that I said?

It is also one of the poorest places on Earth with huge problems, a near total lack of infrastructure and landmines all over the place. Who would want to annex it?

There are more than just Mountains in Afghanistan if you knew anything about Afghanistan. Afghanistan produces one of the rarest nuts, Contains MASS AMOUNTS OF Quartz, Gold, Diamonds. They just recently discovered 1.3 billion barrels of Oil in Afghanistan. There is so much in the country thats alittle smaller than the size of Texas. Seriously, if you never been there to see its beauty then dont talk about it thinking it to be some mountains with desert land. There are Parts that dont have just beautiful mountains. Landmines Yes because why? Because of Russia, if Russia had not invaded Afghanistan, Afghanistan would be a Much Greater Place than it is today.

Look you are obvious hurt that I don't give enough praise to the beauty of Afghanistan and I am sorry, I don't mean to be rude about your homeland. But nuts? Come on, give me a break. Quartz? Hate the stufff myself. Afghanistan as I thought I established, has minimal reserves of gold. Diamonds is a new one to me. Texas has produced 4.5 billion barrels of oil so far and is still going strong.
 
Give you a break? You disrespected my home country saying it was just a land with a few beautiful mountains. Afghanistan Has Emeralds, Lapis- Lazulis, Rubis. Alot of things Those are just a few. Mercury, Uranium and other Rare Earthly Materials. Afghanistan has mass amounts of Gem. They had found over 20,000 Bactrian Gold Objects Which are priceless.

Im not telling you to praise Afghanistan, Did i ever say that to you? Dont put words in my mouth. Im simply telling you dont disrespect the country i am from.

You call that disrespect? On a website that features rants about the US and Britain every other day? You are entitled to your opinion I suppose.

Would you be happier if I stuck to objective measures - like the fact that the entire Afghan economy is, what?, 20 billion?

They had found them. What happened to them?

I can't believe you think saying a country is dirt poor but beautiful is disrespectful. But if so, I apologise. I can't wait to see how you describe my homeland.
 
No thats not what you said What you said was afghanistan only has a few beautiful mountains. When you havent even been there and seen it. Sorry the twisting around game doesnt work on this board. I dont know what happened to the amazing artificats and rare materials. Why dont you ask Cheney?

And i dont know your homeland what is it j/c?

Well rumor has it the Taleban did not care for Bactrian objects. No doubt you will deny this too and I'd be happy to be corrected. I hate to think of all those gold pieces and pottery going the way of the Bamiyan Buddhas.

A lot of them have turned up in Europe though. For once I have to say that is a good thing.

And i dont know your homeland what is it j/c?

Umm, I think I'll keep that one to myself. You'd hate it.
 
I wont hate it , you see This is your problem. You assume too much. When you assume you constantly get proven wrong. That is why there is no point in debating or keeping a conversation with you. Your credibility isnt based on experience or anything, just what you find on wikipedia, google and thats close to it seriously.

I know what happened to the centuries old priceless ancient Bamiyan statues. The world considered them masterpieces, and a treasure for all people, they were destroyed by the taliban. Many of the artifacts in the Kabul museum were looted during the period between 1992 - 1996 in fighting between rival islamic factions when the Taliban took control.
 
Yes they were destroyed by the Taliban, Do you know why?
First of all Did you know the explosives came from Saudi Arabia and other arab countries , the Taliban dont have the money or the genius to blow those up unless its stingers.

How would you like it when little children and families are starving for food, hundreds of little children dieing a month then You see the world donating money to save the statues not the children? If you dont care about afghanistans future why should you care about the past?

Do you have any heart or common sense?
How would you like it if your children were starving allday no place to eat sleep or anything then the man next to you with a gold chain is getting paid to keep it and your getting nothing. Im assuming you dont know how it feels because of the response you had given. And it does look like you havent felt that in Afghanistan other wise you wouldnt be talking about the bamiyan statues.

The looting? What does the looting have to do with the Taliban? Those were warlords and other tribal men stealing it, the taliban stopped all of that.

Do you have a heart or common sense? because to me it seems that you dont have either
 
I am not sure of what you are saying here, but are you saying that the Taliban did not blow up the statues? And are you making a connection between the parents of starving children, and the destruction of the statues? Just to clarify please.
 
Im Saying Yes the Taliban did blow up the statues, But not by themselves. They had alittle funding. And Yes im proud of them blowing up the statues. Why?

Because the Families and mothers and fathers of children who were staying near those statues starving for money and food Begging the internation world to coincide and help them. Yet no, The World cares more about 3000 Year Old Statues. Now my question to you is Why should the taliban car about the past when the world fails to recognize its future?

I know this because i was one of those children.
 
Malsidabym he is saying that taleban blew up the statues because they were recieving way more attention and mony than the pple that were realy in need of that mony and attention

Also they were idols worshiped as gods by some hindus i beleive, in my opnion its good that they were destroyed, prophet muhammad(swt) destroyed the idols in makkah after it was conqured also prophet Abraham did the same thing
