I suspect that if they were in power, they would justify their actions as being ‘within the limits of Christianity’. I do not think tw04 was blaming Islam - the quotes indicate to me that this is how the Taliban sees it.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoI hope you are right. But this is a mostly Western forum. It's easily misconstrued as being the fault of Islam if you don't make a concerted effort to make that distinction crystal clear. Thank you for pointing that out though.
- bostonsre 5y agoTheir spokesperson basically said women would be allowed to go to school, work, hold office and similar but it definitely does not sound like complete freedom since they would need to wear the head scarfs (not burkas) . When pressed, his justification was Islam. I truly hope they will be at least that moderate and not do what they did the last time they were in power. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-58223530 https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-58223530
