[edit] Usurper

This is incorrect. He was considered a usurper because he was put in power by the British. This was a component of their scheme to interrupt modernizations being implemented by King Amanullah Khan. Another move made by the British was appealing to the ultra-hardline clerics who opposed such changes in order to oust the king. A modern, progressive, and ultimately democratic Afghanistan would've been a disaster for British influence as it would have served as a model for democratization and modernization throughout south/central Asia and the Middle East. --the preceding comment was added by Barakzai2k6 at 20:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Why is this article under "Habibullah Ghazi" as opposed to "Habibullah Kalakani"? I haven't done the research, but I noticed that both names were used in Afghanistan related Wikipedia articles. One article indicates that Kalakani indicates a village or subtribe, while Ghazi seems to indicate the larger tribe. --Bejnar (talk) 22:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

No, Ghazi" was the title that he used (it means someone who fights for Islam). Alefbe (talk) 07:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
