However, sometimes his fails are so spectacular, it is worth starting a new thread. (Notable previous examples of failures were him thinking an EDL mob were protesting in favour of something when the opposite was true, and of thinking a spoof report of an Imam condoning rape was true).
His latest failure is imagining that this forum is 'plagued by Taliban supporters'. I guess his fantasy is that I'm one of these supporters.
As usual, there is the fantasy and then there is the reality:

Going into alliance with thugs such as Dostum and then paying off the Taliban - and now the information in this documentary cause me a lot of concern.
But, I'll be honest - I did support the invasion at first - unlike Iraq where it was clear to me that the war was not justified and would lead to unnecessary bloodshed and chaos (which it did).

ray/eh is clearly just a troll, but one with dangerous views though: he supports extremists and remains one of the few posters here who refuses to condemn acts of terror:
