The Taliban bans the Internet

Here we go again...  Actually it was only a matter of time until they got around to it, considering how many ANTI-Taliban websites there are out there.  Of course they likely only have three PCs in Afghanistan, so it probably wasn\'t a high priority for them.  

I\'m getting so sick of these worthless idiots destroying their own culture, murdering and abusing their people\'s basic civil rights, and proving their own ignorance at every turn.  You can\'t disagree with them because their positions are (according to them) supported by Islamic law.  On the other hand, they conveniently interpret that law as permitting them to grow and export heroin as a cash crop.  Some day the axe is going to swing the other way, and I hope I\'m there to see it when these bastards get what they\'re scheduled for.

Take a look at a few of the opposition websites:

I agree they\'re a bunch of idiots and they give the vast majority of Muslims a bad name - their interpretation of Islamic law is bullsh!t - it would be akin to someone gay bashing and saying it\'s okay because of Sodom and Gamorrah in the Bible.
