Rick Raw: Taliban Cut Off Fingers of Afghan Voters–Religious Fanatics Gone Mad

By Rick Grant Commentary rickgrant01@comcast.net

The Taliban are examples of a group of fanatics whose religious beliefs turned to hysteria, allowing this twisted gaggle of ignorant peasants to use their warped religious dogma as an excuse to commit atrocities. When anyone accepts religious dogma as gospel, it limits their thinking.

The Taliban have degenerated way beyond their dogma’s limitations. They have established a dark evil cult of incredible restrictions imposed on those unfortunate enough to fall under their rule. They want to send the world back to medieval times–an unenlightened world in which they tell everyone what to do, imprison women in their houses, and not allow them to seek education. It’s like Charles Manson took over a region of the Mideast.

After 9/11, the United States sent its special forces into Afghanistan to direct the ensuing bombing campaign. Along with a devastating smart bomb initiative, we practically wiped out these rag-tag insurgents known as the Taliban. However, the Bush administration invaded Iraq, leaving Afghanistan to fend for itself. Over that interim, the Taliban regrouped in the lawless land just over the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Now we are paying the price of neglecting Afghanistan for the takeover of Iraq. Recently, U.S. forces have gained ground on the Taliban strongholds, causing significant enemy casualties. However, the Taliban linked up with al Qaeda to present a formidable force to challenge our troops in the treacherous mountains of Afghanistan. Every gain comes at the price of heavy U.S. casualties.

This evil cabal needs killing with extreme prejudice. The Taliban along with al Qaeda will not be allowed to take over any part of the globe. Sadly, though, the youth of these backward countries are being brainwashed into a fanatical Jihad with the West by Mullahs who distort the teaching of Mohammad to justify their cause.

These mind control experts entice the boys with visions of 72 virgins when they get to paradise and other ridiculous incentives. Of course, for these improvished youth, dying and having sex with 72 virgins seems more fun than living in an ox-cart society with no hope for the future.

The Taliban’s level of religious fanaticism reached critical mass when they chopped off the index fingers of Afghan voters. This incident exemplifies how a group of deadheads, who accept a distorted form of dogma, can drive them into complete insanity.

These louts injected their sick beliefs into their interpretation of the Qur’an, which could be any twisted idea that pops into their empty heads. The say, "Oh yeah, women should never speak, lest they cause horney Arabs get sexually excited. Cover them up, make them stay in their homes, and beat them if they break any of the rules. Yeah, that’s makes perfect sense–it’s in the Qur’an!"

For the sake of the civilized world, killing them all is the only answer to the problem. The U.S. Marines are working hard to do just that–terminate these dim-witted barbarians as soon as possible. Set their beards on fire, and cut off their index fingers before killing them. Better yet, cut off their penises so they have nothing to offer the 72 virgins in paradise.
