pfft, i disagree with afghan war, but afghans are barbarians, they believe in allah and shariah
You, who proclaim to be Greek, worship the same God in Orthodox churches, as Allah. Islam does not recognise Jesus as the Son of God, but he is recognised as a major prophet in Islam.
The Judeo-Christian-Islamic God goes under many names and, whether he be called Allah, Jahweh, Jehovah, Father, simply God or whatever, He is one and the same.
As for calling Afghanis barbarians, that depends on your definition. The Ancient Greek word βάρβαρος meant simply a foreigner. Using that definition, then, yes, Afghanis are foreign. If you mean that all of them commit atrocities, then you are wrong and indulging in perjorative racism. I worked with an Afghani, one of the Husamadi tribe, for many years and a nicer guy you could never find.
Can we please have a little more tolerance and less racism on these forums, please?
