Yes, the Taliban is a terrorist group, there is no doubt about that. However, we have to dig deep into history to see who created the Taliban. The Americans gave weapons and training to the locals to fight against the Russians, and that's how the Taliban was created.

Almost all religions have different sects and in the past, most of the religions had sectarian fights, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. However, the sectarian fight continues only in Islam. Muslims are not only fightings against Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and Jewish people but...

Yes, I am on Fibre Optic. I have not made any complaints about why I don't receive the speed I paid for but those who have made complaints were told that the personal connection does not get that kind of speed and you need to pay for Enterprise service, which is 3 X the current fees.

No, I have never protested in a true sense. I have never participated in any kind of demonstration. However, I have done silent protests such as refusing to work, refusing to comply with the rules, using black bands, and things like that.

In my home country, most protest starts peacefully and suddenly becomes violent. Few weeks ago, there was a protest against the name of the province and a guy was killed when the protest became violent.

Strikes are also very common in my part of the world. Strikes have become very common ever since democracy was reestablished in the country about 35 years ago. Since democracy gives the right to protest, people can protest even for silly reasons. These days there are multiple strikes in the country.

The Yamen conflict is basically the fight between Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims. How can they kill their own brothers and sisters?

The main reason for this conflict is they are not accepting others' existence. It was once Jewish land, but then the Muslims made their home. How can you throw away Muslims from the land they made their home for hundreds of years and how can you not accept the fact that it was once Jewish land?

I favor Taiwan in this case. Even though Taiwan separated from China, it has remained an independent country for the last 70 years.

Cyclones are not very common in my part of the world, however, earthquakes and floods are. I have some friends living in Australia and I will have to ask them if they are safe.

Scientists say Antarctica was once a tropical paradise. About 23 million years ago, it was an icy forest, and in the last 15 million years it is a frozen desert. Geological changes are very common on Earth.

The root of the conflict in the African continent lies in colonial history. Sadly, the countries that established colonies in Africa never admitted any wrongdoings. The richest man who once walked the earth was Mansa Musa, sadly today, most African countries are very poor.

Interestingly, big economies are very much interested in investing in small economies. They want to cash in cheap labor and cheap raw materials.

Sometimes laws are made not for enforcement but just to let people know that these rules exist. :P

I do not disagree that alcohol in moderation can be beneficial. However, it is really difficult to drink moderately, you never know when you star drinking like a fish.

I am paying $17 per month for 150 mbps connections and this is what I get. A sad reality in my home country.

People in better economies can pay taxes because the per capita income is high. In small and poor economies, per capita income is small and they can hardly pay taxes.

The United States invaded Afghanistan to oust the Taliban, right? We all know the outcome. The US invaded Iraq looking for weapons of mass destruction. Did America find any weapons of mass destruction?

Someone wanted him dead but the question is "Who." Since the killer has links to USSR, it is generally presumed that Russia wanted him to be dead. But it is very likely that it could be an insider's job. Unless there is some research-based proof, I think most of these discussions are meaning less.
