File under: Taliban

#1 The arbakai [persian for messenger] are the anti-taliban. Community militia and village tough guys fighting for their right to not be ruled by some arseholes in Kabul, Quetta or Doha. They have their own jirga, their own intel networks, and some have even infiltrated Talibaners or turned them by marriage and dowry etc. Rich, poor, all kinds of pashtuns volunteer and train in secret to fight not only the shariah mad bastards but also the ISI presence hiding there. Several clans of erstwhile warlords have volunteered their wealth and resources to fight the taliban. They do not cooperate with or need the Afghan authorities as they see them as compromised and weak. It's the government that needs them from time to time, for support in skirmishes and protection in areas they can give talibs a licking. I won't say more, because American policy being what it is, they will likely be targeted on priority if their capabilities were known.

#2 One of their leaders was arrested by the national government recently. I wish I could remember his name and where it was.

#3 That happens a lot actually. You have to understand their is no real police in certain areas. Every area has its own community police. If there are talib affiliated mujaheddin policing a sector and they come across an anti-taliban or defector of some kind, they'll arrest him.

#5 Everybody is, Wren. It's a mad mad world. You know it's the birthplace of islam, which most of Asia encouraged and welcomed [oh the songs! the belly dancing!] You can't accommodate rabies in your home and escape with your sanity. But Asians are smarter in many ways.

#6 *surprise pikachu face*
Belly dancing and Nora Fatehi... it was all Islamic? I was under the impression that it originated from Hinduism. But muslims do not allow women to show any skin right? So how can they tolerate such skimpy outfits?

#7 Also what's up with the trend of pairing up Hindu girls with Muslim guys and Hindu guys with Muslim girls?

#8 But muslims do not allow women to show any skin right?

In public, for the womenfolk of free citizens. At home in Saudi Arabia, at least, it’s the skimpiest of minidresses, to the point where my reporter did not know where to look. But slaves, concubines, and dancing girls do not have the privilege of modesty.

South Indian dance, uncontaminated by the innovations brought by waves of Muslim conquerers in the northern part of the continent, is very different:

#9 should have took up arms when you had backing the last 20 years. Fuckem, I don't give 2 fucks what the taliban do to the country.
