[edit] To do

1. Claims - please cite sources. Thick on allegations, thin on sources.
2. Disputed - there is a disputed on the page but no reasons as to the facts at issue are on this talk page. Kindly update the talk page or remove dispute tag. A dispute tag has to be backed up by whats at issue. Its not a page label.

[edit] Modified

(Please remove two weeks after post time if no issues - if issues, please start a header to discuss)

"no freedom of religion existed" to "the freedom to choose and openly practice ones own religion did not exist" - Freedom of religion did exist, one was free to choose Taliban Islam.

For a January 2005 deletion debate over this page Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Discrimination against non-Muslims in Afghanistan

---

I urge all members to be on the lookout for OneGuy who has slapped a VFD on all discrimination articles against Islam. Kindly refute this effort by cross voting on all other discrimination pages

1. Discrimination against non-Muslims in Pakistan
2. Discrimination against non-Muslims in Sudan
3. Islam and Mauritanian law
4. Discrimination against non-Muslims in Iran
5. Discrimination against non-Muslims in Saudi Arabia
6. Discrimination against non-Muslims in Afghanistan
7. Discrimination against non-Muslims in Malaysia

We need your votes so this can remain wikiepedia and not become Meccapedia--Malbear 05:54, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Discrimination against Muslims in France ? :-)

That could be included in the "status of religious freedom in... (France)" article. YusufDepe 09:39, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why does this article focus on the Taliban?

They aren't in power anymore! Start an article on The history of religious freedom in Afghanistan if you want to talk about the Taliban. This article should only contain information reguarding the current government of Afghanistan (The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan). Or am I just whack? Kirbytime 20:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Kirby, the Taliban still have some power in Afghanistan and are creating problems for the NATO people. Why dont you create a new section "History" in this same article? Thats the appropriate thing to do. By the way the article already has a section titled "Status of religious freedom under the former Taliban government" so I dont know what is your problem with this article. Why dont you go ahead and make some edits and I'll check if you did the right thing. --Matt57 22:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Only one Jew lives in Afghanistan?

The religious makeup of the country needs some serious revision for grammar/accuracy.
