Thr country was stabilizing with Ahmad Shah Massoud until he was assassinated and the Taliban took almost completely over. The Taliban weren't welcome they were always a splinter group of the mojahedin and viewed as extremists. Shortly after his death America and NATO invaded.
Yeah I know who you're on about. He didn't unite all of Afghanistan though from what I'm seeing obviously due to them falling to the Taliban. Just learned he got assassinated 2 days before 9/11 though, which is a shame. Either way, he seems like the last pro friendly Westerner that actually had some shit going for him. The modern government of Afghanistan is corrupt and useless and will fall into Taliban hands the moment the US pulls out.
I wouldn't say Afghanistan was stabilizing though when it was under a multitude of civil wars. It's not stable now either.
I mean I didn't really use the word stabilize originally I just said it was recovering and progressing. Its position on the global scale was getting better.

I didn't know the Taliban were backed by Pakistan though, which just further shows me that barring a few nations in the middle east, most are pieces of shit that promote terrorism.
Though in Iran's case, I'd argue they do it because they're sick of the West constantly fucking with them. Coulda been a great ally, Iran, but no, Britain needed it's oil and the US had to be its bitch.
Pakistan is a huge terrorist supporting and funding nation. A lot of people think Massoud was assassinated by the paki government. I don't know about Iran funding terrorism so much as it funds militias to fight its war with Saudi Arabia.

Otherwise Afghanistan was very rapidly progressing and recovering after the Soviet invasion and there was very little hatred for America and the west in general.
Sorry, gotta quip in on this one thing. I don't think that is accurate in the slightest. They weren't rapidly progressing at all, they were embroiled in a civil war after the Mujaheddin ousted their government due to infighting that finally stabilized when the Taliban came in. Many people welcomed them at first because they were finally able to have secure roads and town centers without the worry of dying. The issue is when they started imposing their overly harsh version of law. But no, Afghanistan has always had some shit going on with it. Be it some civil war or power struggle.

One look at this page says as much. I feel sorry for them, because they've never had a chance to actually be stable and develop.

Not a fidget spinner = get the fuck out of my face
Fidget spinners are unproductive and useless. A Harmonica is an enjoyable instrument, prefect for on the go playing. I just need to get better at it.
Dude are you fucking kidding me? This is a joke right? Do you have any idea how fast I can spin my fidget spinner? I can make way cooler noises with my fidget spinner than you can with your harmonica.

I heard one of the CIA's operations didn't fly so good.
Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would destabilize a country, before bombing it out of a plane.

We have a lot of Decists here.
Ah... what?
You know, like Racist. Except its discrimination because of who I am.
if they cure your autism, what will we laugh at? this is gold, dude
That's not my problem. I would much rather you people laugh at someone else instead of me for a change. I'm tired of it always being me 100% of the time.
stop posting then
If I have to stop posting, all of you have to stop posting. Otherwise, stop fucking saying that.
you don't have to do anything. i'm offering you a solution to your problem. if you don't want to be made fun of, walk away from the computer.
That isn't offering. That's demanding.
...
no, it really isn't
a demand would be "stop posting"
i didn't demand you stop posting, i suggested it
The only reason why you suggested it is because everyone here is a Decist. I cannot post something normal like everyone else without everyone else jumping on the joke or cringe wagon right away.
For example, say I make a cool thread about something, if someone like Tblocks made it and its exactly the same way, he's gonna get likes on the OP and positive responses, where as if I do it, I'm gonna get a negative response and no likes.
yeah but you've literally never posted something cool or normal or funny. every post you make reeks with one of 3 things: cringe, autism, or immaturity.
and PLEASE stop using "decist" unironically.
Oh yeah? Well I'm about to post something cool. There's no way someone can hate what I'm about to post, unless you're Verbatim.
I was going to make a serious reply, but I remembered you're Verbatim.

You can find shit equally as bad if not worse in the Torah and New Testament as you can in the Quran. Well yeah, but they're not as prevalent.
It's all very good saying religion is shit and that they're all equally violent faiths (which is incorrect), but the fact of the matter is Islam is the slowest kid in the class when it comes to reconciliation of faith with the values of western society.
ISIS and various other Islamic terrorist organisations take the most extremist interpretations of the text that the majority of Muslims do not subscribe to, yes, but that doesn't mean they're not legitimate interpretations.
The "what about X religion as well!" is such a cop out argument. Yeah, Christianity and Judaism contain a slew of disgusting passages, but Christian and Jewish terrorism is not the primary concern right now, is it?
Yes but Christianity and Judaism also aren't the majority religion of pretty much the most unstable areas of the entire world.
Religion is a factor, but it's not the only factor.
Muslims make up about a forth of the entire world's population. If Islam was as radicalizing and horrific as people like to say that it is, we'd know.
See, if you're going to posit the "destabilisation" argument you also need to explain why ISIS and other extremist groups existed before 9/11 and before the invasion of Iraq.
You also need to explain why Islamic immigration produces more problems in developed societies than Christian and Jewish immigration does. Malmö and London, cities which you and I both know aren't exactly poverty stricken shit holes, have seen a rapid increase in homophobic opinions and anti-Semitic behaviour. Have the Swedes and the English suddenly become fervent bigots over the space of a couple years? Or is it more likely that insular Muslim communities have grown larger and more ghettoised?
Nobody is contesting the fact that destabilisation has produced more harm than good in the Middle East, but that's not what we're trying to discuss here, so I'm not entirely sure why you keep bringing it up. We're talking about the social cohesiveness of Muslim populations and the lack thereof, largely due to the values they espouse that originate from the texts of the religion.
Well the CIA and MI5 were conducting operations in the ME as early as the 1940's if not earlier. It's not really an excuse for people to form terrorist groups though.
I heard one of the CIA's operations didn't fly so good.
They have a lot of loyalty for hired guns.

Yeah, including other muzzies, who have been the primary targets of Islamic terrorism. Primarily due to proximity, but still. It's not like terrorist groups are only massacring Christians and Jews and Zoroastrians and shit. I'm not talking about terrorist groups. I'm talking about your everyday Muslim forming a mob and killing a Jewish/Christian/Baha'i/Zoroastrian family. And the fact that the region was incredibly destabilized due to the invasions of numerous foreign powers has nothing to do with it, I suppose? When did I say that? Why would you even say this to me, knowing who I am and how many times we've had this conversation? Not to mention the numerous Christian terrorist groups such as the NLFT and LRA in similarly destabilized regions across Africa and South Asia. What the hell? Who cares. Again, it's not as though this is exclusive to Muslim countries. Ethiopia doesn't exactly have the best track record for their treatment of women, for example, even though it's been a hot topic there recently. Honestly I think it's insulting you compare countries like Iran, Lebanon, Syria etc. to third world shitholes like Ethiopia. Islam is very much indeed the main problem in the Middle East. Primarily due to centuries of invasion and warfare by competing foreign powers such as the US and USSR. Centuries? Really? Are you sure? Let's talk about Afghanistan. Ahmad Shah was assassinated by more extremists Muslims (or paki government if you believe that story). Otherwise Afghanistan was very rapidly progressing and recovering after the Soviet invasion and there was very little hatred for America and the west in general. Same reason so much of Africa is fucked up. Or are we working off of the "imperialism and colonialism were actually good things and the fact that the Belgians exterminated half of the Congo while using them for slave labor is a positive and/or never happened" sort of logic, here? Please don't compare Africa to the Middle East. They're two completely different regions with very different peoples. Africa was conquered by Arabs and Iranians. No, us idiots act like taking a populace from a destabilized region constantly barraged with warfare, coups, invasions, tribal disputes, etc and blaming all of these factors on one thing is one of the most constantly annoying repeated positions I've ever heard. lmao wow is this what people think Arab countries and Iran are like? Holy shit. This is honestly pretty racist. Does Islam help in radicalization? Yes, of course it does. Is Islam the sole reason for the destabilization of the middle east to the point that removing it would suddenly cause peace and harmony? No, of course not, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And before you ignore the rest of the post to claim that I'm an idiot for saying something you didn't, yes, that is hyperbole. I think removing Islam would bring an age of peace and progress never seen before. Maybe you think we're all dumb niggers who chuck spears at each other anyways, but that isn't the case. Islam is really holding Arabs and Iranians back. It's so strange to see people acting like "Islam isn't the root cause of terrorism and the majority of Muslims are probably relatively fine people" means the same thing as "Islam literally has no factor in this and ISIS is just comprised of poor abused youth and it's all whitey's fault". That's what it looks like you're saying from here. You can go on about how the Quran is a bit more violent than the other Abrahamic books (which honestly I'm very unsure of but it's not like I have a way to prove or deny that claim), Read it? but for the most part, your average Muslim living in a shack in Afghanistan is gonna be no different than your average Christian living in a shack in Alabama in a vacuum. I've met Muslims who were ten times nicer than half of the christians and atheists I've met. Me too. That doesn't really mean anything though. At all. Because nobody said all Muslims are bad people, or that even the majority of them are. In short, while Islam is more likely to coincide with terrorism in the modern day, it doesn't necessitate it, which is the largest difference. And despite the fact that many Muslims in third-world countries might hold rather radical views, which they by and large do, a very small minority are truly "radical" to the point of joining terrorist cells.
Islam's violent teachings heavily encourage the hateful behavior of many Muslims. That's just a fact.

And why do you think these regions are destabilized? You idiots act like there's some fringe terrorist groups and everybody else is normal when they're a large amount of Muslims too big to call a minority are for all sorts of barbaric things.
Iraq and Syria (for the large part) didn't destabilise themselves dude you know this.
Yeah even Lebanon was fucked with. The reason these countries have been fucked for so long though is because Islam lends itself to this type of situation.

At this point I have no idea what to say to you. I and many others here have debunked this ridiculous argument time and time again, yet every time you and thousands of ignorant people like you keep bringing it up. We do know about it. Religious minorities are highly persecuted in Muslim countries. The fact that so many Muslim terrorist organizations exist is us knowing about it. The fact that women are discouraged or sometimes even outright banned from participating in society is us knowing about it. And why do you think these regions are destabilized? You idiots act like there's some fringe terrorist groups and everybody else is normal when they're a large amount of Muslims too big to call a minority are for all sorts of barbaric things. It's so infuriating to see people like you make Muslims out to be these poor little victims.

Of course you don't, because you don't know the first thing about Islam and assume the Quran just says "kill whities and rape women" for hundreds of pages and then ends. There are quite a substantial amount of passages about violence and conquering, though.
The sparse peaceful verses that do exist are only superseded by the violent ones, and that's only because the peaceful passages are referring to practising Muslims.
Yeah, the Q'uran might not be the serial killing cookbook Trumpanzees make it out to be, but it's not inaccurate to say it's a heavily violent book.
Well yeah, but so is every other Judaic religion's book
Religion as a whole and especially Abrahamic religions are hot garbage and need to go, but the way idiots assume that every Muslim is a terrorist because "muh violent book" is retarded as fuck. You can find shit equally as bad if not worse in the Torah and New Testament as you can in the Quran.
How many christians or jews do you see go blow themselves up?
Blow themselves up? Not many.
Commit violent crime? Thousands.
Really? Violent crime? Many Muslim majority countries are crime ridden shitholes. Now what? Violent crime isn't the issue. People don't mug other people in the name of religion.

Also, how would "stop Muslims from practicing Islam" accomplish literally anything?
You guys know that there are literally passages in the Quran that state that you're allowed to lie about your religion if you are being persecuted for it, and that masquerading as a non-Muslim in such a case is a righteous and holy thing to do, right?
Of course you don't, because you don't know the first thing about Islam and assume the Quran just says "kill whities and rape women" for hundreds of pages and then ends.
Taqiyya is more of a Shia thing. And at the same time it's not something you would see happen because if the American government were to start shutting down mosques and banning Islam it would be more important to practice jihad, not taqiyya. To practice jihad is to struggle in the name of Islam.
Yeah but I doubt the average person would want to go full sword-jihad, even if the government started doing shit like that.
I think it's a strong possibility and one of the biggest reasons western governments are trying so hard to make Islam part of the national identity.
