The musicians and cricketers who were declared un-Islamic by the Taliban when they were in charge some years back.

The Taliban are utterly backward and repressive and only a shade less bad than ISIS.

It is interesting that nobody learns from History and in each case it repeats itself .

What is really astonishing is the speed and efficiency of which the Taliban is taking the country.
The US WISHES they were that organised.
