It seems for me, that you said even more than you needed... specially in the
subject line (What are talking about?).  Next time don't forget to put
something like "we", "you", or "they" after "are": it will look much-much
better.

I'm kinda ashamed that some people in Pennsylvania (where I happen to live and
study) don't speak English well enough and, yet, try to show their high
intellectual level.

I do not know if any movie deserves the money you spend on it
(here in Mntrl it costs at least 5$ on discount nights..
I am tempted to see X, but I know better, I can see it in year
for free... I do not mind being outdated in this particular
department. I will settle with reading the reviews and the debates
about it in the mean time.

I repeat, it is a complete waste of money to go see any movie
if you can wate a few months to see it in a VCR (as many times
as you want) for 1$, or borrow it from the Public library for 
free in a year.

Of course, some will say that it is a complete waste of time to watch
any movie period.. I know that those guys waste more time chatting
with each other and backbiting sometimes.. I myself think that X would
be a good entertainment after a day of hard work.
Maybe it also makes a good motivation tool.
If you are going to see the movies, go see X or a similar movie, if you
are not, then wise choice!

My dear brother,
It is a common practice in Internet that some articles are cross posted
in various news groups.  This ofcourse is done in an attempt to reach
as many people as possible.  Most of the times items are posted in
related groups.  However, sometimes we get news items in our group that
really don't have anything to do with our group or with our interests
(I think).  A recent example of this was the article about the movie
not so critical review.

In other instances we get news about other regions of the world or other
topics that are interesting and appreciated by some of us on this group.
To give you a few example, I think some of us (atleast I) appreciate
very much the news items posted about Tajikistan by Omar Jan.  Ofcourse
Tajikistan does not equal Afghanistan but nevertheless I think
it is most important for us Afghans to keep an eye on the situation
in the north of our country;  It could have dire consequences for our
country.  Another example is the news items about Bosnia.  It is true
that we are located far away from that land of misery, but I, once a
refugee just like those Bosnian children, do care very much about the
situation there and would like to learn more about what is going on
there.  We can't be insensitive to the plight of others and then ask
for understanding from other people during our times of need.

I hope you don't take this as criticism of you, because it is not meant
to be.  I am merely trying to point out some of our differences and
similarities of opinion with regards to the subject of cross-posting.

Ba Ehteram,

Walid

Dear Muslims,

I'm posting this letter to the net on behalf of the Islamic Society
of Albemarle County and Charlottesville in Virginia.

In recent years we have been blessed by a growing muslim presence on
and around the University of Virginia. Each year more muslims arrive,
a few stay and more faces appear regularly at Friday prayers and at
lectures and activities sponsored by the UVA Muslim Student
Association. Although this growth is a wonderful gift of Allah, it
makes all too obvious our need for a place to call our own.

Traditionally, the masjid formed a nucleus about which a town or
city revolved. We here in Charlottesville find ourselves with no
permanent presence and no base for Islamic practice, education or
propagation. Out jumma prayers are in a church, and although to
the ignorant or naive university administrator it is "non-
denominational," the UVA chapel is all-too-Christian. Many of
us find worshipping in a place surrounded by crucifixes and
depictions of a supposed son of God revolting_if not just
plain haram.

Some concerned Muslims in the area met to discuss this issue
on the first of the month. They made a tentative plan for
establishing an Islamic organization with a permanent facility
within the town and near the University. The result was the
Islamic Society of Albemarle County and Charlottesville.

ISAAC has set a goal of $150,000  for the purchase and
establishment of house for Muslims. This money would come
from Islamic and corporate organizational donations, parents of
students, Muslim families and individuals and organized not for
profit ventures. Our secretary is pursuing formal documentation
of ISAAC as a religious and legal corporation/association as well
as the appropriate tax exempt status.

We welcome all suggestions, assistance and participation.

forth before God when our time comes.

Have you considered moderators for this newsgroup?  This would
eliminate the cross-postings of materials that are not in
connection specifically to soc.culture.afghanistan.

Using offensive language to appeal to others is definitely not
the answer, nor is suggesting that posters should completely
alienate themselves from other political issues that are vital
and important to Muslims as a whole.  The Algerians and Bosnians
are facing the same dilemma that Afghanistan did - with military
occupation and crimes against humanity.  Perhaps it cannot be
considered completely parallel to what occurred in Afghanistan,
but my point is that we should empathize with other Muslim nations
[in the sense that the majority are Muslim and/or calling for an
Islamic state] and people, and not be so abrasive to these posts.
