Mm-hmm again The second time for the second time, which is cool, which is a good thing Tell us why it's a good thing before I get into that just like you take the kind of understand who the Taliban are By the way, pastor me here does not agree with with the statements made in I'm not saying the Taliban are like a actually, I'll get them out later, but Yeah, so Taliban like they started around the 90s or they really rose to prominence in the 90s Right after the Soviet Union pulled out of Afghanistan so they invaded Afghanistan and it went horribly and it failed and they pulled out and From that like records from the war a lot of like local warlords or regional warlords rose up in Afghanistan pitos Basically, yeah, and a lot of them practice this this practice called Baka Bazi Which is I think it means like boy a Boy like pleasure or something like that a boy boy something or boy servants and I think something like that And it was just basically this practice where they would just sodomize It's just pedophilia pedophilia where it's just widespread and these warlords would do it and it was accepted among like those warlord communities Yeah So the Taliban they grew and like in as a reaction of this as like a violent reaction and it was started by this guy called Mullah Omar He died like maybe six years ago, but he he started basically raging war against these warlords these local and regional warlords if in particular why is it is it because of their the power that they had they were trying to usurp their authority or Is it because they were just not in agreement with I think it was it was very much a moral Morally moral issue moral issue. So the the Taliban had started as like a Aesthetics, I think is a word where they're like very spiritual and like almost like not monks, but like they were like kind of like that They were ascetics and they like Followed like the rule of the law and a lot like the word of law the letter of the law So they it was just kind of like a moral crusade against these people and that's where like the practice of hanging people from cranes Started in like the Middle East was Mullah Omar hanging these these sodomite warlords and these kidnappers and stuff like that from crane from cranes And eventually it got to the point where they became so powerful that they became the the government of Afghanistan in 2001 by 2001 They were in control of Afghanistan. It was like an Islamic Emirate And all that stuff, but what also happened 2001 was 9-eleven and 9-eleven supposedly was was orchestrated by Osama bin Laden or whatever and supposedly Osama bin Laden went to Afghanistan to hide amongst Taliban and that was the Official reason we went to Afghanistan was to find Osama bin Laden who allegedly was hiding among The Taliban the Taliban which eventually wasn't true. He was hiding in our ally in Pakistan Not at all in Afghanistan wasn't even hidden among Taliban fighters or anything so and that was in 2011 I think like it was Obama or whatever that announced it
