| #4 glenmore actually, as I remember it from a lecture, the merciful Allah only requires 80-100 lashes for unmarried men who agree not to do it again (at least in two of the judicial schools)while, yes, married men do get the death penalty |

| #3 Also remember that millions were in refugee camps outside of Afghanistan, where they probably got the disease. |

| #2 Actually AIDS arrived in Afghanistan courtesy of the Taliban. They made women stop working or going to school. With so many women widowed, the only way they could support their families was prostitution. The men from the Minstry of Vice and Virtue were some of the main customers for these women. Needless to say, they didn't care about protecting the women from STD. Al |

| #1 Ironic that 99% of AIDS cases happen as a result of engaging in behavior that warrants the death penalty under Taliban administration of Sharia. |
