2. My guess the government is pre-emptively trying to limit viewing of

"Innocence of Muslims".

4. Stay strong Afghanistan

 

you've been remarkably resilient to new ideas, independent thought, culture, progress, civilization, tolerance, freedom, and human rights so far.

Don't bend now just so you can also watch adorable videos of cats falling asleep.

/and yes they are adorable. That's how shaitan tempts the faithful.

6. I am very tempted to suggest that a huge wall be built

around Afghanistan. That place is the anus mundi. They will still be primitive as hell three hundred years from now if humanity survives that long.

8. As much as many hoped Afghanistan would change

It hasn't.

The zealots are still in charge.

The biggest losers in the whole mess that has been the last few decades there are the women.

10. Quite a few great non-believer Quran scholars on Youtube critiquing it.

So this really isn't unexpected. Very sad for freedom of speech in Afghanistan.

Closing the forum to only agreeing views, good for propagation of any belief system, bad for just about everything else.
