Wait a minute- Mr. "The Buddhist statues are like a swastika to a Jew". The "distinguishing marks" people will be wearing is all too reminiscent of the HOLOCAUST- which has nothing to do with feminism. It has to do with genocide. You may not like the fact that Afghanistan looks to be veering onto a course that will involve "cleansing" the impure from their society. I don't like it either. Of all the issues in the world this is one of the most similar to the horrible events of 1930's and 1940's Germany. If you can't see that it just shows how your faith has limited your perspective. The Afghans may not put those "distinguished" people into camps, they may not end up killing them. But then, lots of people didn't think the Germans would do such a thing either. Now did they? Would you have called someone concerned about Jewish people wearing yellow stars a ...feminist?

Of all the issues in the world you picked this bandwagon to jump on because it bolsters the feminist agenda I didn't raise the issue, and it is no more interesting to me than any of the numerous other things we've discussed here. What interest it does hold stems less from feminist concerns than from the way it illustrates the hypocrisy and ethical bankruptcy of religious fundamentalism. I suppose that could be interpreted as serving an atheist agenda, but what other agenda would you expect an atheist to serve?
