'Justice' Taliban style...

[sandyRoe]

How can the West leave the people of Afghanistan at the mercy of people who do things like this?

Her husband was a member of the Taliban, and the man she committed adultery with was a Taliban commander. What happened to the commander? Life is so cheap to these knuckleheads. I think we should leave them to their own devices we cannot support everyone. We have enough of them over here with their religious fanaticism.

Re my earlier post, does anybody really think the money we are throwing at them will make any difference ?

You have to feel some sort of sympathy for these people, but it's about time they started fighting their own battles otherwise we might as well leave our lads out there, why should our servicemen loose their lives over these people? life to them means sod all, when I was at school this bloke used to bully me for quite a long while, that was until I'd had enough & flattened him! No more bulling, this is what the afghan people want to start doing.

It's not necessary to show the actual execvution. It is sickening to see the poor woman meet her end like that. What chance is there for Afghanistan when here are people like that. We will never teach them to be any different. Shame on them.

You will never convince these Muslims of anything, they are despicable acts carried out by despicable people, nothing we can do to protect them. Bring our boys and girls back home.

Why do Yahoo think it is ok to show the act of an execution? So undignified. Yes we know what happens when a person is shot - there is no need to show it in detail. They could at least have edited the video.

[RATTER15]

I imagine they do it to cause outrage, just knowing what happened isn't nearly as effective.

[bazwillrun]

Whilst I dont dispute it happened that "video" shows nothing.

[ludwig]

You have to press play on the video to watch it sir.prize.

No amount of money or policing will change them, their way of life is so different to ours. Medieval springs to mind, they want all the fripperies the latest cars tv, but still remain base at heart to be led like children.

Kangaroo court - poor woman probably hadn't done anything, anyway.

[boxtops]

Ratter - not all Muslims are like that, don't tar them all with the same brush. The ones I have a lot to do with wouldn't entertain that sort of behaviour.

[Brenden]

Boxie they would have to if they lived in an islamic country run by shari'a law.

[sir.prize]

Ludwig - one does not have to press play. It is an ordinary link but contains unedited images of the execution. Not even a warning.

[RATTER15]

Boxy, I am specifically referring to the people who carried out this act as I stated >>You will never convince these Muslims of anything,<< I wasn't generalising in this instance. However I am aware that I will often generalise.

To be fair, the Afghan government is as outraged as the West. The act was commiteed by a faction. It wasn`t condoned by the whole country.

[237SJ]

*committed*

[askyourgran]

Why don't the Afghan government do something about these 'factions'.

[237SJ]

I guess it`s early days and maybe some peoples` beliefs are so ingrained that they can`t be changed in the current generation AYG

[askyourgran]

Early days, how long do you reckon it will take them to catch on?
