Or that it is "internationally" recognized other than by Western countries, or Westernized countries, or countries which feel a need to kowtow to the Western line because we have the wealth and the atomic weapons to impose it.

There is much more to the equation than this ...rather
oversimplified . The "Western Line" also supported
and created most of the present wealth enjoyed by
in the Islamic world ..insured it's existence,
thru providing the science , technologies,
and infra-structure without which
there would be no modern
"Islam" today.

Not to mention , just going back 1/2 century , the
opposition and defeat of another madman who was bent
on world domination as well ....and also approved the
wearing of armbands and identification marks .

Is it "Taleban" or "Taliban" ? I tried Taleban and got this :
taleban.com

I think this fellow is wanted very badly, and
relativism or not , he will prolly get caught .
But Afghanistan is no longer "in play" , the Russians
will never get their warm-water seaport that they coveted
back in the 50's and 60's ...thus going thru Afgahnistan
into Iran as they once schemed.

Find me an authentic African, Egyptian, or Asian voice not influenced by Western liberal thought which agrees with your position.

I could find you lots and lots. They just aren't the ones with the guns. True, they might not phrase their feelings in terms of "human rights", but they know damned well that they object to being beaten, tortured, and killed by their governments.
