[edit] comment from a school chum of abdullah shahab

A friend of Shahab left this comment on the article page. I moved it here, to the talk page. I will put a longer explanation below.

abdullah shahab is my friend and i know him from school time he was a open minded person and was boy with well manners and nice character.he was well educated and was a soldier of his country.As i know him i cant believe that he is a terrorist.every afghani dont want americans in their lands then every afghan must be a terorist. the american says that its democracy but they dont follow the democratic rules as they have arrested one of son in laws of gulbuddin hekmatyar by the name of dr. ghairat bahir former diplomate of afghanistan in pakistan like this the america and their pupets have always broken the diplomatic rules.and u have write here that most of people in hezbe islami was pashtuns but in real there are more farsi language peoples are in hezbe islam.so please it is requested to do not write wrong stories here and make ur self informed thanx alot.( sayed haseeb )

Greetings friend of Shahab! Not everyone believes that everyone who disagrees with American policy in Afghanistan or Iraq is a terrorist. I put up the original stub. I am skeptical of many of the U.S. claims. But we are only supposed to put stuff on the article pages that can be verified. In general personal observations, like yours, can't be verified. That is why I moved it here.

Note: the article doesn't comment on the credibility of the U.S. claims. It just repeats them. However, if you can find an article about your friend that refutes some or all of those claims that would definitely belong here. Or, if you find an editorial that expresses skepticism of the U.S claims about Shahab, Hekmatyar, or Hekmatyar's other relatives, comments from those editorials can be repeated here, provided we properly cite the source. If you want help writing it up, just leave the URLs of the articles here on his talk page, and I will see it, and do my best to include it.
