Look, I try not to care, too much, about what goes on in other countries. I try not to think about all the Afghans that will die, now; all the 12-year-olds who will be married off; the fall of an entire country; the fact that terrorists will have a breeding ground again; or the total waste of money and life that this all represents...
But it's kind of hard to just "ignore" what is going on. Your country has just capitulated, betrayed its allies and left complete destruction in its wake, for what, FOR WHAT?
And why, because a couple of old men (first Trump, and now dipshit Biden) decided it was politically expedient to do so...
I just... It's disgusting, to be frank. And you know what's significant? I suspect this represents the end of American "soft power", across much of the world. Because the world, including America's allies, will now see what a joke "that country's" military is. What lies America tells itself, and its allies. How "you" can't be relied upon. How utterly, utterly pathetic this whole debacle is. And how "your" president is a useless, lying, untrustworthy, duplicitous, idiotic fuck.
Look, I never particularly LIKED Trump, but I fail to understand how ANYONE can look at the fall of Kabul this week, look at the WORST US foreign policy failure in more than 40 years, and not see this as worse than anything Trump ever directly did, perhaps even including fucking Yemen...
I just... Fuck this. It is a fucking disgrace, and there is no room to make light of it. Biden and Psaki, and everyone else involved, deserves to rot in hell for this. Blood is on their hands, and no one, American, Afghan, Chinese or otherwise, should ever forget or forgive that.
Out of all the majority Muslim countries, Afghanistan are the worst with their views. Most people think people should be executed for leaving Islam for example.
I have little compassion for that reason.
That belief is widespread and uncontroversial. It only appears controversial among unserious housebroken western Muslims.
Changing a religion isn't exactly the same as leaving one. And in any case, why are other Muslim countries (especially White ones) so much less backward?
Regardless, there's a lot more dubious views where that came from: https://i.imgur.com/rE1ydqb.png
As for why some countries are much less extreme I'd guess it's some combination of resistance to Salafism in former soviet countries and resistance to Salafism in majority Shia countries. Salafism is nothing more than actually properly teaching Islam. Because the Quran is basically unreadable and hadith are extensive it is possible to be a chill Muslim purely out of ignorance.
Thanks.
