As I understand the Taliban, one of their goals is to enforce Sharia Law. I do not want to live in a world bound by Sharia Law. If their goal is to force that upon me, I consider that a threat to my freedom of religious choice. If they are willing to coexist, I have no problem with them, but that is not what they want. It doesn't matter if they have nukes, AK47's, or cap guns, their stated goal as I understand it is not acceptable to me. So, if the problem is mine and I don't understand Sharia Law or their intent, I need help getting educated, otherwise there is a conflict that will lead to violence.

I am not afraid and I am not being forced to defend freedom. Being free and defending freedom is my choice, and it is not a cause that I not willing or afraid to commit my life to.

You're furthering their agenda, with your attitude. They win.

I think their goal goes beyond simply creating "terror", I think "terror" is their tactic to accomplish their goal.

And the fact that you're doing it in the name of freedom is the work of another terrorist named George W. Bush.

George Bush is perfectly willing to let people make a choice on how they live. Islamic extremist and those who employ terrorism in the name of a holy war do not.
