<p>I agree with you, cosar. I think they’re between a rock and a hard place politically. I don’t know what the right answer is ethically OR politically. However, I feel pretty sure that it isn’t as simple as “he wasn’t a terrorist” or “he couldn’t have known better, given his upbringing.” Plenty of orthodox Muslims within Afghanistan as well as throughout the world knew better, and they condemned the Taliban for its many cruelties (and its many abuses of Islamic law). And if he did know better, but he took the job spreading the Taliban’s message for the sake of his own personal advancement, I’m not sure that’s morally preferable.</p>
