Hey there... this is a new... perhaps "junk" mail that I received... I do not want to give the email addy out... but I do want to share with you what this person said:
Dear Friends, Please take a few minutes to read and act on this email. On May 23rd 2001 the Taleban authorities in Afghanistan confirmed that all Hindus will be required to wear a strip of yellow cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify themselves.
They claim that the measure is for their "protection". The world has faced this before, in 1939 the world was required, at great cost, to rid itself of Hitler's tyranny, it is not hard to spot his child.
Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to relive it. The Taleban's record on respecting other religions gives great cause for concern that their ultimate aim, upon which they are intent, is "religious cleansing". They have already demonstrated their distain and intolerance for other religions and traditions by the desecration and destruction of the ancient Buddhist statues, our collective heritage, within the Afghanistan.
Whatever your religion, or even if you have none, we hope that you will agree that this is fundamentally wrong. Remember, "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". Please do not do nothing, add your voice.
DIRECTIONS: PLEASE COPY this email on to a new message, add your name and those of your household who wish to participate to the bottom and forward it to everyone on your distribution list. If you receive this petition and you find that you will be the 251st name on it, please e-mail a copy of it
to: alastair@om-int.com. It will then be forwarded to the UN.
Even if you decide not to sign, please be considerate and do not kill the petition as you will be denying your friends, and theirs, their legitimate voice. Instead return it to
alastair@om-int.com
To The Secretary General, Security
Council and General Assembly of the United Nations.
We the undersigned are appalled by the decision of the Taleban government of Afghanistan to require all Hindus to wear a piece of yellow cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify themselves. An individual's communion with God, however they find him, is a matter of personal conscience and must not be the subject of intimidation or persecution. The right of everyone to worship as they wish is fundamental and inalienable. The United Nations was founded in order to defeat Hitler and his henchmen who required the same from another religion with all it's horrific consequences. It is completely unacceptable that nearly 60 years later history is repeating itself. We ask the following:
1. That the Taleban government is made aware in the strongest possible terms that the world will not countenance this perversion of human rights.
2. That prior to the United Nations and/or it's constituent members granting recognition of the Taleban government this obscene policy is reversed.
3. That the United Nations widen the terms of the trade sanctions currently in force.

"where's yer proof Quoth..." It ISN'T PROOF... that's why I said it was "junk" mail... I just happened to find it interesting.
"Taliban are torturing and arresting every muslim man without a beard....didn't see any petitions going around about that...they are messed in the head that way..." They also treat women like shit... something has to be done and I have belief that it has already happened.
"What's the deal with you here? Bombs not falling quick enough for you?We all know Afghanistan's gonna be blown to kingdom come..." -My deal with me here, is that people will actually listen to me and make me think. Not very often in my real life does this happen. I have to respectfully disagree that Afghanistan will be blown up. I do not agree in any kind of social cleansing effort, no matter what country/nation. IT's WRONG
