  Okay, substitute Taliban for the Church of Scientology or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It's a marginally less absurd proposal. My point stands. Proposing extreme religious nepotism as a good counter-measure to deal with espionage 1) would be minimally effective (see the IDF infiltrating Hamas and Iran regularly), and 2) is ridiculous.
