    Question Internet in Afghanistan?

    Hey, I heard there is no internet in afghanistan, so I'm a little confused here.

    In some web hosts or other registering thing, why do I see "Afghanistan" in the "Country:" line in the form when there is no internet in Afghanistan?

    Like:

    Name: ___
    Age: ___
    Country: Afghanistan
    _______Other countries etc.

    Internet is un-Islamic by the Taliban's set of rules.
    I don't know why there is a option for Afghanistan... just as a joke I guess.

    Speaking of Afghanistan, if I were you I would send a supporting email to this site: http://www.afghangovernment.org/ , it is the anti-Taliban website.

    It is the recognized government in exile. I just sent my words of support to them.

    I guess it would be rude to exclude a country from a list [ADD]of countries[/ADD].

    Besides, there are lots of Afghan people that live elsewhere with internet access.

    Maybe they do that so that the Afghan people won't get offended.

    Their site was hacked, because people didn't bother to read anything on it. But later the same people sent their words of support...

    What does that have to do with hacking?

    I believe the Americans hacked them.

    That's the counter-Taliban's website. WTF are you talking about?

    Some people didn't read what the site was for.

    Trenz, go to the site and read what is written by the webmaster.

    Here is my support I sent to the Afghan webmaster to show my support:

    I am from Spain, and offer my words of support for your peace-loving and freedom endorsing ideals. I hope you along with the Northern Alliance eradicate the evil Taliban and Usama Binladin. Both the Taliban and Usama hold a twisted and false version of Islam. We the western world, are not, I repeat are not going to war against Islam but against the evil Taliban and Al-Qaeda. You call for democracy, and I believe when the war is over, you will rule and Afghanistan can be as prosperous as it once was.
