AFGHANISTAN.

WHAT DOES ISLAM SAY ABOUT WAR ?

Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self defence, in defense of region, or on the part of those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict Rules of Combat that include prohibitions aginst harming civilians and aginst destroying crops, trees and livestock. As Muslims see it, injustice would be triumphant in the world if good people were not prepared to risk their lives in a righteous cause.

One reads in the Qur'an : " Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors." (Qur'an 2 : 190)

" And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers." (Qur'an 2 : 193)

"If they seek peace, then you seek peace. And trust in God for HE is the one that hears and knows all thing." (Qur'an 8 : 61)

War is therefore the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law. The often misunderstood and overused term JIHAD literally means "Struggle" and not "holly war" (a term not found anywhere in the Qur'an). Jihad as an Islamic concept, can be on a personal level........inner struggle aginst evil within oneself; struggle for decency and goodness on the social level; and struggle on the battlefield, if and when necessary

WARNING : THIS PAGE NOT FOR UNDER 18 AND TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAN NOT FACE THE REALITY IN THE HORROR OF WAR

*We will never allow you dictate to us how to run our country and whom to employ in Afghanistan. How and where we employ the foreign experts will remain the exclusive prerogative of the Afghan State. Afghanistan shall remain poor, if necessary, but free in its acts and decisions* ~~President Doud Khan ( 1973 - 1978 ).

BISMILLAHIRAHMAN NIRRAHIM.
By the God Mercy, I had been in Afghanistan twice. First, during Doud Khan as a president and the second time Babrak Karmal ( the pupet). Afghanistan's page as a continuiation of previous pages ie : MADRAS's, DELHI's, LAHORE's and PESHAWAR's pages.
To understand Afghanistan as a country, we have to go back to the ancient history during the raid of Genghis Khan, British relationship with Afghanistan, 1919 Russian relationship, 1953 American relationship, Coup D'Etet and power struggle in Afghanistan. To know the Afghanistan by history only, unrelavent to describe fully about it. Local culture & custom, their religion & belief,topography and economy structure knowledge will make our journey here very intresting and plesent.

ADVISE: Even Afghanistan, with her citys and teritory can offer a stunning scenery and great culture and custom but not suitable for odinary TOURIST.Night life, cosy Hotel and Great food were not offered here. For the Hard time traveller, researcher and reporter, this place consider challenging.
UPDATED : 15th Oct 2001

How wonderful the life here and overall, if Peace & Harmony can be implemented by all walk of life. Some time the jargon of idealism and "stiff" interpretation of religions bring more disaster instead harmony to the peoples here. Extreme, extremist, fundamental and fundamentalist only lingo... the best to understand is... Religion IS NOT Stagnent Product, if religion become more complicated, the harder you go the worse its become..THAT not a religion !! Tolerance, Diplomatic, Love, Peace and Harmony..THAT the teaching of every Religion !!

 I'm back again! I'm glad some people like you still in touch with the real world. I saw almost 30 years ago the suffering in Israel and Palestine and 20 years ago in India. They need Real World Shows not Reality shows....Keep up the good work
