Taliban and Republicans Too

While the Taliban was in charge, the burqua was required of women in Afghanistan, beards were required of men, and dancing and singing were banned.

There are those in every culture and in every country who want to force others to live by their rules and believe they are being oppressed and discriminated against if forced to live side by side with those who choose to live by other rules. Thus we get people in so called "free" societies who would impose penalties upon others for practices that cause no harm but merely offend the sensibilities of some. We find that usually, perhaps invariably, those who are most adamant about imposing moral sanctions upon others are steeped in unethical and even criminal activity. This was true of Taliban leaders. It is true of many a DA and many a politician in the U.S.A.
