The Taliban’s Promise: Ha, Ha, Ha

The Taliban promised that older girls would get to go to school, but now they are reneging on that promise. This is no surprise to anyone who knows what they are like. See here (and see the fable about the frog and the scorpion). The international community (though I would put that term in quotes because it really means the West) is very disappointed. But what did they expect? Maybe the leaders made such promises, but it’s very hard to change people who have lived in a certain way for centuries and who believe that religion is on their side. And need I add that the international community has never in the last few decades condemned that religion? Let me ask again, what did they expect?
