The Taliban are unenlightened fighters. Nothing more. They are religious extremists attempting to appear like Taliban 2.0 with their false words about women. Their public promises will be cast aside to the gutter where it belongs. These sons of former Taliban fighters learned in the late 90's and were trained at the age of 5.There is absolutely no reason to believe any of that false propaganda about the Taliban.
The whole point of Islam was to improve the rights of women from what fate they had previously, under the Old Testament.
You can tell the claims of rape and slavery are not true because they do not even allow prostitution, and are extremely puritanical about sex in general.
They are not forcing plural marriages.
There is no reason for you to believe these false propaganda videos.
Afghanistan has a lot of backward rural areas where conditions are bad, but that is because the warlords, not the Taliban.
You are lying about no raping. Why are you lying about it? I can only assume you have something to gain from giving Taliban "good" PR. They deserve nothing for their own actions against humanity. I have thought this for 25 years, and doubtful your false words have any impact other than to make me more certain they are still just as evil in motives and actions.
You cannot erase years of documentaries depicting the trials of the Taliban, their stoning to death of women taped as well, and children surrounding the pit instructed to throw stones. You can never undo live footage. Sorry for your loss.
A couple of possibilities to explain why you've written total falsehoods: When did you live in Afghanistan and under what capacity did you meet with the Taliban? Did you leave family behind and are worried they'll be killed if you post anything against them? Are you a journalist under fear of persecution of the Taliban? Are you by chance a financier of the Taliban? Do you think that would matter to certain agencies or organizations?
