Taliban to cut voters' fingers

[zephyr]

The Taliban have threatened to cut off the fingers of those who vote in the Afghan presidential elections! The authorities had planned to put ink on fingers of voters to prevent them from voting twice, ink that would stay for a few days. The Taliban have said that they would cut any finger having ink on it! It is not clear yet if the election authorities are going through with their plans to put ink on voters' fingers or not!

OMG those people are sick.

If I lived there I'd probably and up being a vigilante. I couldn't just sit back and let those people do that sort of thing. The government doesn't seem to be able to do anything about it. But then again they can't protect everyone everywhere.

This does not suprise me at all. They all like chopping bits off people don't they. Nasty little people.

I believe that people who fear a loss of their power and influence will resort to all sorts of vile things to retain the power and influence they have. It would seem that these extremests fear democracy more than even dieing. It is hard for us in the United States to understand such radical methods. I guess we should be doubly thankful for the freedoms we do have and do all we can to see to it that others have the opportunities to enjoy the same freedoms.
