I cannot figure out what point you are trying to make Gandalf. It was a length post, but did not actually say anything.
Long story short, you lied.

Are you denying that the Taliban killed students and teachers in an effort to put a stop to girls' education?
I deny that you have presented any shred of evidence that the taliban regime in Afghanistan during their rule (1996-2001) killed a single girl over 8 for attending school, or killed a single girl under 8 for reading non-Quranic material - as you claimed.
You did in fact invent the whole story. That is also known as a big fat porky, or lie.
And every time you feel compelled to give some pretense of justifying your BS claim, you resort to anecdotes like Malala that are completely irrelevant to the original claim about the Taliban rule 1996-2001.
Yes, but I feel we need to consider FD's wider agenda here. He is, after all, defending the reforms made to women's rights in the Saudi Kingdom, G. Does it matter if he tells a few white lies about the Taliban? FD's trying to help women everywhere.
Just think, women can now go to uni, they can drive (with permission), they can even get passports and leave the country if their husbands or fathers support it and provide a chaperone. This is progress. FD's just supporting that.
Besides, the Saudi's are on Uncle's side, so it's all good. The Saudis might fund global terrorism and regimes like the Taliban, but at least they do a few arms deals with Uncle's friends.
This has nothing to do with FD's stance on the Taliban, mind you. FD's just backing the right kind of Muslim - the Wahabists. Quiet, peaceful and friendly, a most jolly bunch.
Okay, that might be a porky too, but it's only a little white lie in the name of Freeeeedom.
