Of course Oliver North is an extremist -- that should be obvious. But when
did "extreme" come to automatically mean "bad?"

The Spanish Inquisition, the Taleban etc ?

Do you spell everything wrong?

TALIBAN

There is no accepted Arab - English spelling because the languages are
fundamentally different. Arabic is based on sound, not letter by letter spelling.

What about Pashto?

Are they the same as the Pashtun ? Ah it's the language, the Pashtun speak Pashto.

Pashto (Naskh: ????? - IPA: [pa?'to]; alternative spelling: Pakhto, Pushto, Pukhto,
Pashtu, or Pushtu), also known as Afghani,[3][4] is an Indo-European language spoken
primarily in Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan.[5] Pashto belongs to the Eastern
Iranian[6] branch of the Indo-Iranian language family. There are nearly 40 million
Pashtuns. As defined in the Constitution of Afghanistan, Pashto is a national and
official language of Afghanistan.
