300,000 Zoroastrians in Afghanistan?

I have yet to see another source indicating as such. That number is dubious and way to high. Scythian1 (talk) 01:38, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

This is the only recent source I have actually seen so far, <http://www.heritageinstitute.com/zoroastrianism/demographics/> it says 10,000 (as of 2006) but I have yet to hear any news stories about these alleged Zoroastrians and I am skeptical as to whether or not they actually exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.97.30.242 (talk) 20:54, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

5,000 Christians in Afghanistan?

Is there any adequate, reliable, impartial source expressly indicating this? Scythian1 (talk) 01:53, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

The US State department cites estimates of 500-8000 Christians in Afghanistan. This indicates a rather wide range but reflects the difficulty of determining a number of Christians under the current religious freedom situation. Jawadbek (talk) 14:59, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

No mention of the Taliban???

No mention of the Taliban and its promotion of hardline Islam? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galt57 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
