I know almost the whole population is Muslim but I have to make a powerpoint on the other religions in Afghanistan and I think that this project is going to be impossible to do because of the fact that anything not related to Islam is so small that it is classified as "Other"

Some jewish, some christian. Thats what I saw when i was there for 2 years. Very few though. Mainly an Islamic state. We would usually find bodies of jews and christians once in a while and even if they were fresh corpses, they weren't in good shape. Most of them didn't have their heads attached to their bodies or were missing hands, arms, feets, legs. sometimes we would find that the heads had the tongues cut out. missing ears, fingers, toes, etc. Not good.
Good Luck!

No. Your information are actually not stunning. Even in India Buddhism ought to not sustain for long. extremely that there is not any Hinduism as such like different non secular denominations. Hinduism is the call given via outsiders to the non secular paths observed via the human beings residing via the area of Sindhu (River). Lord Buddha tried to reform the Vedic faith and Social shape of the human beings. the classic human beings residing contained in the subcontinent welcomed all non secular innovations inclusive of that of Jainsm,Christianity, Islam, Jewish, only because of the fact the denominations between the Vedic ideas. The failure of Hinduism in South east Asia is with the help of the weak spot of the rulers surprisingly in Indonesia.

bdsmslavegirly - Muslims do not go around arbitrarily killing non-Muslims. This is a grave misconception, to put it mildly. To put it frankly, it's a slanderous lie. Please stop spreading such lies.
There are about 99% Muslims in Afghanistan, and the remaining 1% consists of Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and Parsis. Of the Muslims, appx 85% of them are Sunni and the rest are Shi'i.

Afghanistan has the granddaddy of all Western religions - Zoroastriansism. (As in "Thus Spake Zarathustra"). As religions go, it doesn't have the special effects of Hinduism, or the Volvo rebate of Buddhism, but it's pretty good.

When you know their hatred of other faiths and the teliban killing anyone who didn't agree with them it stands to reason their probably isn't any other reliigon. Just guessing.
Let's face it they are not real laid back about religion.
