I believe this is one of your most important posts. It tests the limits of liberal thought and tolerance. The existence of a Taliban archive is important, regardless of what one may think of the group. The contrast with the ongoing attempt to destroy US history is stark. Thank you for bringing this to light; I know none of it.
I recently read Walking to Samarkand. Bernard Ollivier walked across Iran and Turkmenistan in the year 2000. He encountered the mullahs but also many people who didn’t want religious rule. He commented on how poetry was revered in the region.
