Huh?
Just some Afghanis? But 'many' Arabs eh?

Given your total ignorance of the area (which has been proven), I don't feel the need to find someone like you in Afghanistan who makes the same blunder. I'm sure I could find several quotes of Afghanis who believe religion is a factor in the occupation... but given your total lack of knowledge in the area, I don't see the point.

So based on one mistake, you're not going to provide evidence?

You do admit that some Afghans could see our troops as religiously different than them... right? The majority of the occupation forces are A) white and B) from predominantly Christian nations.

I think they view them as the reconstruction force there to help them, largely made up of troops from the Western World. I also think the extremists are the ones pushing through propaganda that the NATO force is a 'religious' force, and is there to fight Islam. Why the hell else would it be classified as a Christian occupation army?
I guess you've fallen for that propaganda.

Am I putting forward a manifesto suggesting Afghanis all believe this is a religious conflict from our point of view? No. I never said anything like that.

You said that 'many' Arabs believe it.

The hilarious part is I've asked you several times about backing up your support for oilers_fan original statement that Canadian troops are being held back by the 'rules'. You continue to dance, typical obfuscating Azure. You won't answer the question posed to you, but demand that I respond to yours.

They are being held back by rules. We're fighting a non-conventional army through conventional means.
I'm not dancing, or ignoring anything. You're the one who came up with the BS statement that 'all' the points were directed at oilers_fan, which you still haven't proven.
Nice way of ignoring the post though. Best way to avoid something is to accuse the other person.
