RE:Thank God there is just one misfit outfit!

Ruxak either doesn't have a clue what the Taliban was all about, or he is indulging in crude partisan politics. The Taliban were against democracy, elections, women being outside the home, any artistic expression. They wanted to ban all other religions besides Islam. They forced Hindus to wear yellow badges, and Hindus were a tiny minority in Afghanistan. The Taliban staged mass public executions inside stadiums. They slaughtered entire communities merely for being different. It's demeaning and insulting to Indians to suggest that India was governed by a Taliban like party for 6 years. That's sickening and mendacious.
