		<description>PS
Afghans are cold booded, treachorous, but do not hate any one. Infact if they like you and then discover that you are going to leave them. They are going to bury you alive, simply to keep you.</description>

		<description>So now we have a guy who is inerpreting Quraan to us. Kaffir is the name for those people and tribes which were pagans and non believers, this identity was neither vile nor demeaning the people. The anglo saxon started calling them &#039;INFIDEL&#039; to classify non believers. The identity of Kaffir or infidel is given to non believers, and is not meant for either christians or jews, who are regarded the followers of holy scriptures. Now we have more modern and uptodate names of Atheists, agnostics and may be some others. This info is not available to the non english speaking world. Therefore they continue to call them as Kaffirs and Infidels in English.

You have any problems? We have seen hitler youth burning books of jewish writers or books about the jewish people. No body intervened and put a stop to it and  this was followed by millions of jews being killed murdered in concentration camps. I know that burning of Quraan is not a crime in the USA, the home of zionsts, but in Europe it is forbidden, and in the muslim world it is signal that they are under attack by the invaders on account of their eligion.

		<description>To say that Afghans hate no one reveals sheer ignorance of Islam. Muslims are commanded to hate non-Muslims, called kafirs, a word so vile that Arabs say it cannot be translated into a civilized language. Many verses in the Koran command hatred of kafirs.

Islam has made no positive contribution to mankind, least of all to Muslimas but even to most Muslim barrows as well.

When you ape the words and deeds of a criminal psychopath, it should be no surprise that you are barbaric and impoverished.</description>

Afghans do not hate any one, but are usualy allergic to foreigners. They are usualy cold blooded and treacherous, but bloody good fighters, this is how the Brits identified them after the massacre of the british contingent during the Afghan war.

		<description>Rex: 
I have always argued that Afghan&#039;s are a traditionally conservative agrarian Muslim society, no one can deny the facts on ground. Also, no attempt should be made to alter the social fabric of Afghan people, otherwise they will resist it. And the fallout of this particular incident shows us one most important thing, now the Afghans hate the foreign forces more than ever. It looks as though any hopes of an honourable face saving exit for US out of this quagmire is no more possible.</description>

		<description>When I see the continued protest of Afghans throughout Afghanistan and over the border in Pakistan and then learn about the loss of life and the confirmed deaths of senior American officers in the close quaters of the secured interior ministry, i get the impression that the Talibans mean to make a holy city from today&#039;s Kabul, no longer allowing the presence of non muslims in the capital. It reminds of the UK Ambassador Mr Cavagnari who lost his life in similar flare up, ordered as a matter of fact by the Amir of Afghanistan.

		<description>These soldiers who burned a book were a bunch of young people with little exposure to the world. I&#039;m appalled at any book being burned, but the Islamic response is even more appalling.  Get over yourselves and your hurt feelings.  If Allah is offended, he&#039;ll take care of it.  As one reader commented, worshipping a book is idolatry.</description>

		<description>Quran is the word of Allah and most sacred Book, by definition Christians are also people of the book. But the soldiers who did this coward act of burning Quran have no religion at all. this shameful act should be condemned, one more reason why the US needs to loose this war.</description>

		<description>The soldiers responsible for burning the muslim holy book is no different from what a lunatic third class Florida did in the USA. Burning of religious books is not a crime in the lawful country of the USA! It is in Europe!

To do this act in a muslim country is the desperation which the Yanks are now facing. A vietnam type withdrawl or the withdrawl with drawned faces under the protection and support of Pakistan military. When is the Amir of Afghanistan or the supreme commander of the talibans is going to spread the word for the all out assault on foreign troops?
Sanjeev, time and again I have said that he Pashtuns do not negotiate with foreigners! Your info from the yanks is a spin not a reality. The Talibans plan to set up their foreign office in the Gulf states, forign embassys or consulates will no longer be allowed within Afghanistan. The new Taliban controlled Afghanistan in the 21st century will be much different than the country we have seen before. A lot of cleansing-up will be required in the Bagram base.
