What is your strategy/argument now, Brian? Defend the Taliban?

Nope. Would you care to provide a quote where I have done that, with a link of course? Or would it be too difficult to do as I have never defended any Terrorist organisation... Roll Eyes

Perhaps you could go over to the "falling into place" forum topic where you seem to defend Islamic terrorism left, right and centre. "Tsk, tsk". Accusations of Islamophobia because moses criticises Islamic terrorism. Lots of yawning emojis as if we should not have to entertain the threat of Islamic terrorism. Take your pick of which post you posted there where you defended Islamic terrorism.

You are welcome to criticise Terrorists to your heart's content. You are not welcome to criticise Muslims (in general). There needs to be on the poster's part a clear difference between the two groups - which there is. Unfortunately, all too often, the defence of Muslims is perceived by Islamophobes as a defence of Terrorists. It isn't though. Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

That why another group of muslims - not Taliban - sent in suicide bombers around the Kabul airport?

ISIS aka Al Qeada

All terrorists.

In Afghanistan your averages as to who is what is pretty poor.

Ask little Johnny he committed us to a war with dodgy evidence in the first place.

If a nation is to go to war when that nation itself is not under threat, the people should vote on it, cheaper than going to war, and the people have their say.

How can one man or woman decide for the whole nation to commit our troops half way round the world.

Is that democracy........????

It is what the Constitution allows. The PM is charge of the Government and the Government is enpowered to determine the nation's Foreign Policy. It appears you want to make Australia America. Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes
