#3 If you can memorize the Koran and you're a guy you get to wear a big turban and throw your weight around. If you can't meet both those prerequisites you get to labor for your betters and breed.

#5 "The Taliban maintains that educating girls is against Islam and also opposes government-funded schools for boys because they teach subjects besides religion."

The Taliban are an offshoot of the Saudi mental disease called Wahhabism. If we could isolate these guys on some harmless little island in the middle of nowhere, fine. But the problem is that these Wahhabi-miseducated morons won't stay put. They cross borders, enter countries with the sole purpose of killing the infidel, i.e., you and I, and insist on imposing their way of life on the rest of us.

Seems every 50 or 60 years, some excremental waste of humanity rears its head from the cesspool and insists on imposing itself on the rest of us. Nazism, Fascism, Stalinism, Maoism, and Islamism.

#6 I was under the impression that the Taliban are an offshoot of the Deobandis, which I thought was a locally developed variation of Pakistani Islam. To my uneducated eye the result is the same (beating women in the street, locking them in the back room of the house under the thumb of their nearest male relative, making sure they aren't educated beyond that necessary to remain barefoot and pregnant), but I thought the path to get there was local rather than global.

Experts: your comments, please.

Both are tendrils of the same slime mold.

#8 A lot of the Taliban behavior was motivated by Pashtun tribal culture, not islam per se.

Deoband is actually in India, 90 miles from New Delhi.

Following the Sepoy mutiny in 1857, muslim power was finally broken and the Mogul emperor exiled to Burma. The clerics set up three schools -
Darul-Ulum at Deoband , Nadawa al Ulama at Lucknow, and Darul-Ulum Manzar Islam at Bareilly.

The Wahabi influence has increased in Pakistan due to Saudi funding and the jihadis are influenced by a mix of Wahabi/Deobandi extremism.
