Taliban cut off heads of 17 people for having music at party :-(

Re: Taliban cut off heads of 17 people for having music at party :frowning:

What exactly can you tell us about the Aghani Taliban that in your mind can redeem them? Their public executions, their diminution of women to the level of chattel, their destruction of heritage and culture? I mean what exactly was it about the Taliban in Afghanistan that in your mind that meade them great?

Was it that they brought some rudimentary peace to the country? In that case, one could assume that any victor would bring peace. Had the Nazi’s won in WW2 there would have also then been peace. But that peace would have been at the expense of freedom and justice. Afghani peace under Taliban came at the expense of all pretences to freedom and threw women so far under the bus that they have yet to get out from under it again.
