What is Happening in Afghanistan? Taliban to Destroy All Learning
In October, Taliban leaders met to create guidelines for their followers. Primary among these is the destruction of all learning, except religious, in Afghanistan. Seems that Rule 23 of the 30 rules that were codified says that education is the tool of the Great Satan and that any teachers who do not give up teaching things like literature, mathematics, social studies, etc. are to be warned. If they do not heed the warning and continue to teach, they are supposed to be beaten. If they continue to teach their subjects, they are then to be murdered. Seems that the Taliban continues to fear any independent thought and influences. Their opinion is that any education, other than that which is religious, is a bad thing for the people of Afghanistan; and they are willing to go all out to prevent that country from pulling itself out of the Dark Ages that the Taliban pushed it into after they took power.
Pakistan, the US and their allies, have to wage complete and total war on the Taliban to prevent these misguided men from intimidating the Afghan population again and most probably coming to power once again. This sect needs to be wiped out with extreme prejudice and no member should be allowed to live. All this is fruit of the US support of Taliban militants during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan near the end of the cold war. Until the Taliban are wiped out, there can be no peace and regularization of society in Afghanistan. It is a shame because Afghanistan used to be a pinnacle of learning, art, and culture before the sectarian religious wars began happening. Pakistan has to withdraw its promise of safe haven for Taliban warriors along the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. If it had true resolve, it would make its borders safe from Taliban incursions, but as it is, Pakistan is harboring and abetting one of the most destabilizing forces in west Asia.
