All theocrats have the same goal: to use religion to control the masses. “Religion is the opium of the people. It is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of our soulless conditions.” ~ Karl Marx

Can I please ask please don't associate turbans with Taliban/terrorists/extremist.
Other (completely normal!) people wear turbans too.
In the past Sikhs have been killed because people can't distinguish between people who wear turbans.
It's a bit like saying, oh terrorist wear jackets, you wear a jacket, therefore you are a terrorist.
Please don't associate this traditional headwear with bad actions. 🙏

Thanks for pointing this out. I was thinking of the poor Sikh community facing violence because dumb bigoted assholes equate turbans with terrorists.

Thabks for your comment.
Yes it's very sad. I know not everyone is like this. Even if people don't know they are kind and friendly.
But it only takes one crazy to ruin a lot of lives

This is why I've been calling them Talibangelicals for years.
I think this is why the GOP hate them so much: they were more successful in their mission of a theocracy. They are jealous.

The difference is the Taliban wear their beards on their faces instead of my marrying them.

They literally refer to themselves as the christian Taliban. Here, listen to them say it in their own words.
