>>ban laws that contradict religious teachings,

So much for ladies bare limbs, or barbers who shave beards, video stores showcasing hollywood/bollywood, or liquor stores.

The days of having a beer and fried fish on the banks of the Tigris, with a woman companion dressed in a western outfit in the most secular, technocratic society of the Muddled East are over.

Too bad we've abandoned the secularists and modernists.

And when did this occur? During the days of Saddam's rape rooms? The days of the industrial shredder?

Because western pornagraphy, alcoholism and sluttish dress are the true indicators of freedom?

You confuse freedom and license.

You also think Wahabbism is all of Islam.

Are these allowed in Afghanistan? As I understand it, something similar concerning Islam is in the Afghan constitution.

I am more than willing to be corrected.
