As usual, you read something into it that wasn't there. I probably share the responsibility for that, I probably could have explained my posisiton better in hidnd sight. At the time I posted it i thought it was pretty clear tho.
Us vs. Them was a meant as a comparison of the values of the United States to the values of the Taliban. We (the US) tend to bend over backward to respect other cultures and religions even to the point of ridiculousness, they (being the taliban) tend to kill people who think or believe differently.
I believe the examples are valid in pointing out the difference between the two cultures.
Your inference that my post was anti-muslim was unfounded and incorrect.
