Islam Online.net story: Afghanis long for peaceful Taliban days

You just can't make this stuff up. And the headline is what that great reservoir of journalistic integrity, Islam Online.net used.

Direct from the source:

"We want peace, whether it is with the Americans or the Taliban," Mohammed Shafik, a young carpet seller in the volatile southern city of Kandahar, told Agence France Presse (AFP) on Sunday, December 3.

"We didn't have problems with the Taliban."

Hadji Ramdullah, a shop owner in the Pashtun-majority city, agreed that the Taliban regime "knew how to keep order".

"In the time of the Taliban, Shari`ah was applied in line with our culture and our traditions," he said.
