If you wish to take the debate a step forward, what you need to consider doing is addressing the issues:
Do you agree or disagree with my definition of 'freedom'?
If not, why not? What is your alternative definition?
If so, in what way do you disagree with the way I applied that definition to Taleban-ruled Afghanistan?
Of course, if it is impossible for you to do that without questioning your own deeply entrenched position, you could just continue sniping at other forum members.

The point is a government should have the freedom to impose the laws they want or the people want. If the people want to be muslim extremists who are we to say otherwise. Even some of the women would agree. You could say they've been brainwashed into the religion - but I could say the same about you.
