I dont know. we're trying to kill them too.

I feel sorry for all the familes who have lost people, but whats so good about a bunch of loyal soldiers who would kill innocent people if they were told?

You're not supposed to obey an unlawful order...which that most certainly would be...

Soldier's have consciences buddy...we're ordinary people...just like you.

It must have been a slow day in the NEWS, this is just like the guy trying to ban GTA cause it depicted GANGSTER LIFESTYLES!!! Americans have killed many ethnicities over the years. So THAT'S OK!! I don't see the problem with playing as the Taliban. Cause it is a video game!!!...... What next ALIENS?!!!!!

Mujahideen is Arabic for freedom fighters from what i understand... There is no "the Mujahideen", its like the French resistance being called "the Resistance"

Disrespectful to whom? In order to properly represent the conflict, both sides need to be depicted.

No, just because its happening now? Also, is this even on the right board? Im not sure.

kipohippo021
....... off topic is the wrong board ? why ? And No, I don't think it's dis-respectful in any way. Because if it were, we probably wouldn't be able to play nazi's in ww2 shooters, considering they had a whole war time of killing americans and their allies.

Yes, yes I do. Do you? Do you realize that the Mujahideen fought the Taliban? To say that the Mujahideen are the same as the Taliban is pretty much just giving the middle finger to history. But hey, make up what you want.

That's what the Afghani militia groups called themselves when the Soviets invaded...

The woman's comment on Fox News about WWII not involving real people pissed me off a fair amount.

A mujahid is that does jihad. Now in west, jihad is just seen as "kill all nonbelievers" when it actually means, fighting for a just cause with religious trachings in mind. The mujahideen (the ones in Afhghanistan) fought Russia and had volunteers from neigbouring countries. And there was fighting against done by Northern alliance. Now volunteers from neigbouring countries are fighiting against the US simply because people' don't like any countries presence there, often they won't have any links to Talibans. Both wars (Russian and american invasion) had "jihad" done in them. Its hypocritical when people take one over the other, or just say "jihad" is bad, but against Russia it was all good.

Just don't romanticize them as being any noble guerrillas or freedom fighters and I'll be fine with it.
