You should cite resources before you speak nonsense.\n\nWhere did you get the info that Rumi did not support Prophet Muhammads teachings??? are you mad? \n\nNo body can be muslim unless they support his teachings..He was the one God chose to send the last book with. Who are you to speak such nonsense.

By JOHN F. BURNS\n\nJanuary 27, 2002\n\nAZHAKHEL BALA, Pakistan, Jan. 20 — Little in the manner of Ijaz Khan Hussein betrays the miseries he saw as a volunteer in the war in Afghanistan.\n\nMr. Khan, a college-trained pharmacist, joined the jihad, or holy war, like thousands of other Pakistanis who crossed over into Afghanistan.\n\nHe worked as a medical orderly near Kabul, shuttling to the front lines, picking up bodies and parts of bodies. Of 43 men who traveled with him to Afghanistan by truck in October, he says, 41 were killed.\n\nNow with the Taliban and Al Qaeda routed, have Mr. Khan and other militants finished with holy war?\n\nMr. Khan, at least, said he had not.\n\n"We went to the jihad filled with joy, and I would go again tomorrow," he said. "If Allah had chosen me to die, I would have been in paradise, eating honey and watermelons and grapes, and resting with beautiful virgins, just as it is promised in the Koran. Instead, my fate was to remain amid the unhappiness here on earth."\n\nJihad literally means striving. The Prophet Muhammad gave Muslims the task of striving in the path of God. Whether that striving is armed or a personal duty of conscience is a question causing consternation in the world's 1.2 billion Muslims, and that question goes to the heart of President Bush's war on terrorism.\n\nIn the Muslim world, it seems that Osama bin Laden is now a fractured idol, and many Muslim scholars criticize him. Yet he also remains appealing to others, almost as a political Robin Hood.\n\n"Osama bin Laden is not a theologian, or a jihadist in the traditional sense of the term; he's a political activist," said one critic, Olivier Roy, a French scholar who has written several books about Afghanistan. "He has Islamized the traditional discourse of Western anti-imperialism. So a lot of Muslims support him, not because they see him as a true warrior for Islam, but because they hate America, and he's the only man in the Islamic world that they see fighting the Americans. He's like Carlos the Jackal converted to Islam."\n\nIn mosques and Islamic seminaries from Morocco to Indonesia, moderate Muslims have been scouring the Koran to demonstrate that a true vision of jihad can never be squared with Sept. 11, even while expressing how aggrieved Muslims may be with America over issues Mr. bin Laden has identified in his videotapes, like Israel's treatment of Palestinians, the presence of American troops in the Arabian peninsula and the United States' role in maintaining sanctions against Iraq.\n\n"Don't make the mistake of thinking that Osama bin Laden is the true face of a billion Muslims, or the true voice of the Koran," said Dr. Safir Akhtar, a research scholar at the Islamic University in Islamabad, a Saudi-financed institution that has long been a magnet for young militants from around the Islamic world.\n\n"He may have a special appeal through his religiosity," Dr. Akhtar said, "and his spartan way of life, and he has certainly drawn deeply from Muslims' deep sense of frustration, but people think of him more as an adventurer than as an Islamic leader, and they know from their own studies that his sense of jihad is deeply flawed."\n\nConversations with ordinary Muslims in Pakistan tend quickly to turn to their disillusionment with the inglorious figure Mr. bin Laden has cut since Sept. 11 — as he counseled future jihadis that "this world is an illusion," valueless beside paradise, and posed for the videotapes with a Kalashnikov and a camouflage jacket, while avoiding the hazards of combat himself. Moreover, many of Islam's most militant theologians now rebuke Mr. bin Laden, who suggested in the videotapes that he cast himself in the mold of Saladin, who recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders in the 12th century.\n\nFrom Cairo, Beirut and Tehran, and a dozen other centers of fervent Islamic belief,

Child Bride\nMarried at the age of four, an Afghan girl was subjected to years of beatings and torture, finally escaping to discover that within all the world's cruelty, there is also some kindness.\nBy Kevin Sites, Mon Mar 20, 6:51 PM ET\nEmail Story IM Story\n\nMarried at the age of four, an Afghan girl was subjected to years of beatings and torture, finally escaping to discover that within all the world's cruelty, there is also some kindness. \nGlobal Giving\nConnects donors directly to development projects.\nWomen for Afghan Women\nRuns a sponsor campaign for Afghan orphans.\nSave the Children\nBolsters health and education for Afghan children and their families.\n\nKABUL,\nAfghanistan - Eleven-year old Gulsoma lay in a heap on the ground in front of her father-in-law. He told her that if she didn't find a missing watch by the next morning he would kill her. He almost had already.\n\nEnraged about the missing watch, Gulsoma's father-in-law had beaten her repeatedly with a stick. She was bleeding from wounds all over her body and her right arm and right foot had been broken.\n\nShe knew at that moment that if she didn't get away, he would make good on his promise to kill her.\n* * *\n\nWhen I meet her at the Ministry of Women's Affairs I'm surprised that the little girl, now 12, is the same one that had endured such horrible suffering. She is wearing a red baseball cap and an orange scarf. She has beautiful brown eyes and a full and animated smile. She takes one of my hands in both of hers and greets me warmly, without any hint of shyness.\n\n"She looks healthy," says Haroon, my friend and translator. I nod. But she looks older than her years, we both agree. In orphanages — first in Kandahar, then in Kabul — she has had a year to recover from a lifetime's worth of unimaginable imprisonment, deprivation and torture.\n\nIn one of the ministry's offices she sits in a straight-backed wooden chair and tells us the story of her life so far. She is stoic for the most part, pausing only a few times to wipe her eyes and nose with her scarf.\n\nHer story begins in the village of Mullah Allam Akhound, near Kandahar.\n\n"When I was three years old my father died, and after a year my mother married again, but her second husband didn't want me," says Gulsoma. "So my mother gave me away in a promise of marriage to our neighbor's oldest son, who was thirty."\n\n"They had a ceremony in which I was placed on a horse [which is traditional in Afghanistan] and given to the man."\n\nBecause she was still a child, the marriage was not expected to be sexually consummated. But within a year, Gulsoma learned that so much else would be required of her that she would become a virtual slave in the household.\n\nAt the age of five, she was forced to take care of not only her "husband" but also his parents and all 12 of their other children as well.\n\nThough nearly the entire family participated in the abuse, her father-in-law, she says, was the cruelest.\n\n"My father-in-law asked me to do everything — laundry, the household chores — and the only time I was able to sleep in the house was when they had guests over," she says. "Other than that I would have to sleep outside on a piece of carpet without even any blankets. In the summer it was okay. But in the winter a neighbor would come over and give me a blanket, and sometimes some food."\n\nWhen she couldn't keep up with the workload, Gulsoma says, she was beaten constantly.\n\nGulsoma's scars\n\n"They beat me with electric wires," she says, "mostly on the legs. My father-in-law told his other children to do it that way so the injuries would be hidden. He said to them, 'break her bones, but don't hit her on the face.'"\n\nThere were even times when the family's abuse of Gulsoma transcended the bounds of the most wanton, sadistic cruelty, as

Sorry but I haven't heard of any, what Taliban did to the statue of Budha wasn't an Islamic act, it was a dogm fanatic act of a dogm fanatic people.\nBefore 9/11 we warned the world about Taliban real face and no one heard us, that's not our fault. Also we did our best for Anti Taliban groups but they were supporting by US.\nWhere I live we have Islamic rules and we are strictly banned of ridiculing any religion.

I am delighted that Abdul Rahman is safe from Afghani "justice." However, it saddens me greatly that he had to leave his country in order to stay alive. Thank God he was able to find asylum in Italy. God has used his debacle to shine a bright light on some of the ludicrous practices of Islam. I hope his plight serves to make people more aware of God and His love for all of His children, that more people will turn back to God before it's too late.

Why do you think all Americans hate Muslims?  I lived in Indonesia for awhile.  I even fasted for Rahmadan (please forgive my spelling) out of respect for my host family.  It was hard, but I though alot about God during that time.  I went to church last sunday and heard a surrmon on how Islam is a false religion.  I got so mad I walked out and will not return to that church.  If we do not preach religious tollerance, what will the world become.  So, no personaly I do not hate Muslims.  What I don't like though, are terrorists foriegn or American.

I wasn't sure if you wanted a pattern or one that was already made. I couldn't find a pattern anywhere, so I hope that this helps. I found a website of someone who makes afghans to order. I would contact her and find out if she could make one. Hope this helps

And how much do you know about Islam??? Lots enough for you to talk about something that indeed you have very less knowledge about it???\n   Many people all over this world talk about freedom including free to be muslim, christian, budhist and so on. But how many of us respect every single person's right to be in which religion they want to? Including respect their faith and beleive. For example, be careful in whatever issue that you want to raise.

I am a Muslim and I agree that it was carried out by Muslims, I just do not like the fact that people are stereotyping ALL MUSLIMS as evil terrorists. I see that every answer or question you have is about Islam? You are showing hate for ALL of us and it is not fair

Well I can give you an opinion of someone who has been there and is currently in Afghanistan. It sucks having to help people one day (ie.. give food, medical attention, clothes...) only to see the same person the next day shooting at you or your friends. Why help people who hate us so much? Because if we left here right now there would be more death and destruction than Sadom could have inflicted in a 100 yrs. There are many ways to answer this pro and con, but that is just what I have to deal with every day.        \n\nBUSH ROCKS!! (not)
