Islamic Militants (Taliban) in Afghanistan are cutting off peoples noses and ears. Where in the Quran does it say this is acceptable?

Maybe its just plastic surgery.

On a more serious note, terrorists will use what-ever chapter of any holy book they feel is to their liking. You'd be suprised what you can find in a holy book when you want to justify violence as being your God directed responsibility.

Acceptable or not, it sure is nasty. The US should have fovuesed it's resources on eradicating the Taliban before they invaded Iraq.

I'd be surprised ot find the part of the bible that advocates the organised use of weapons and violence.

I do know the part about the person being without sin casting the first stone, and the one about glass houses.
