Or am I wrong here ? Was Afghanistan no where near being an Islamic state ?
What was wrong about them?
Jump back to Saudie for a seconf, drinking alcohol seems to be against the wishes of Allah, in other religions, drinking alcohol is allowed. Saudie does not seem tolerant of alcohol drinking. For example, catholics use wine during one of their ceromonies, would they be allowed wine in an Islamic state ?
As for Saudi Arabia, I wish I lived in a country where alcohol is not allowed in. This never contradicts tolerence. Saudi Arabia is the country where our holy places are in. Can the Pope allow a Friday Prayer to be held in pubic in Vatican? I guess not. let us not even take the Vatican, in the US Muslims are not allowed to hold the call for prayer in loud speakers. Well, I hope you start focusing on what is not clear to u in Islam rather discussing regimes. Are u an international relation student, I wonder:confused:
