"no freedom of religion existed" to "the freedom to choose and openly practice ones own religion did not exist" - Freedom of religion did exist, one was free to choose Taliban Islam.

For a January 2005 deletion debate over this page Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Discrimination against non-Muslims in Afghanistan

I urge all members to be on the lookout for OneGuy who has slapped a VFD on all discrimination articles against Islam. Kindly refute this effort by cross voting on all other discrimination pages

We need your votes so this can remain wikiepedia and not become Meccapedia--Malbear 05:54, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Discrimination against Muslims in France ? :-)

That could be included in the "status of religious freedom in... (France)" article. YusufDepe 09:39, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Why does this article focus on the Taliban?

They aren't in power anymore! Start an article on The history of religious freedom in Afghanistan if you want to talk about the Taliban. This article should only contain information reguarding the current government of Afghanistan (The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan). Or am I just whack? Kirbytime 20:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kirby, the Taliban still have some power in Afghanistan and are creating problems for the NATO people. Why dont you create a new section "History" in this same article? Thats the appropriate thing to do. By the way the article already has a section titled "Status of religious freedom under the former Taliban government" so I dont know what is your problem with this article. Why dont you go ahead and make some edits and I'll check if you did the right thing. --Matt57 22:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shod there not be more on that under the Constitution of Afghanistan there is no freedom of religion? After all Abdul Rahman was arrested and threatened with the death penalty for converting to Christianity in February 2006.--Lord Don-Jam (talk) 00:41, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Only one Jew lives in Afghanistan?

The religious makeup of the country needs some serious revision for grammar/accuracy.

missing issue except for link at the bottom

The Afghanistan constitution contains a contradiction on this issue, as it both mandates freedom of religion and a system of sharia law that mandates death for anyone who converts away from Islam. The courts there seem to have decided they can execute anyone who changes their religion away from Islam, with people only being allowed to have other religions if they weren't a Muslim in the past. The only mention in the article of this issue is a link at the bottom to a particular case involving this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Rahman_%28convert%29

There should be an explanation of this issue in the article.
