Let me introduce you to the grammatical notion of the present tense FD:
the full quote you refer to:
Quote:The Taliban are still opposed to education for Afghan boys and girls. They are burning down schools, killing students and teachers by all kinds of means, including chemical warfare. For example, in June 2012
ie - *NOT* 1996-2001.
This part of the same article, on the other hand *IS* referring to the taliban rule 1996-2001:
Quote:Many women involved in teaching were caught by the Taliban and persecuted, jailed, and tortured.
Notice it doesn't meniton anyone getting killed?
My goodness, wouldn't you think that if there was an "actively enforced policy" of shooting little girls in the back of the head for going to school/reading non-Quranic material, it would mention it somewhere?
Wouldn't you think that if someone was to make such a clear and specific claim that they were, would have some shred of evidence to substantiate it??
