We as American people need to decide our fate without caring what Zabihullah tells NEWSWEEK

Do not forget that a former FBI counter terrorism said essentially the same thing. Perhaps we should ignore Zabihullah, but can we afford to ignore our own terrorism specialists? Besides, consider how you would feel if you were persecuted for your religious views? Would it make you happy?
While I share your disdain for the Taliban, we do not operate in a vacuum, and our actions have implications. Refusal to grant basic religious freedom to Muslims and widespread prejudice towards Muslims will surely drive
some away from integration into society, and towards activism. This is not the way we want to go.
If you want to see what that can lead to, you need look no further than Northern Ireland.
