Who really created this tragedy?

This is one of many reasons there are Muslims in the media of today getting a bad rap, Americans of the days of old will not admit where they went wrong. How soon we Americans forget history. This is why we are doomed to repeat it over and over again.



As for the politics that created this conflict between the USSR and Afghanistan, this you can wiki (I will only give a brief idea). In winter of 1979 the Soviets invaded Afghanistan/Pakistan. This war lasted until 1989. As for this brief summary: Americans made it possible for Pakistan to get weapons from Israel that came from USSR. It was done this way to look like Americans had no hand in it. America then took a step back after the Soviets left Pakistan and left the Pakistani/Muslims to fend for themselves. No more aid. Its been said that half of the population of Pakistani were young teenagers. Then in 1994 the Taliban came to be.



My conclusion is this, had America not stepped back, had they continued to help those in Pakistan, the Taliban would have had less of a chance in forming. They would not have done some of what they have done to give Americans the impression that all Muslims are bad people. How soon we forget history. If all Americans went and looked up history once in a while we would all have a different idea about one of the most peaceful religions and ways of life in the world.



I feel sorry for my fellow Americans who think being an Islamic revert is one who is brainwashed. They think they are all free from such oppression and that having rules containing morals is something only for "The God Squad." If they only knew their lack of morals and lack of a strong foundation would never truly free them.



Does one really feel free after a night of drinking and being highly hung over the next day? Does one feel free after a night of fornication only to find out they either contracted a disease or conceived a child a week or two later? I'm sure they feel free after they find out they slid right under the bar when the Doctor tells them they are without child and or disease. Do you really think this fear you feel while waiting for results is that of freedom.



Come on America, wake up! You have no idea what Islam is about and yet you judge Muslims because of a few bad apples you allowed into existence by turning your backs on people. Take the time to look it up. You can go to quranexplorer.com and read the truths for yourself before passing any judgement (which is not our place to do, only God has this right).
