I could further it. Spreading Christianity is a crime. America is demanding release of it's nationals, even though they knowingly broke Islamic law by spreading Christianity in Afgahnistan. Under your logic, the Taliban should be able to demand and obtain any American nationals who say, spread Christianity or spoke to a woman because they broke Afgahni law on Afgahni soil.

See the double standard? It doesn't work with legalism. The laws of each nation are radically different. There is no respect of each others laws. The US views the Taliban as repressive, and the Taliban views the US as morally corrupt.

(Of course I bloody hope the Christians get released get released......blood is thicker than water)
