were WE the baddies?>Mullah Omar ( founder of the Taliban) became sickened by the abusive raping of children by warlords and turned against their authority in the mountainous country of Afghanistan. >The practice of bacha bazi by warlords was one of the key factors in Omar mobilizing the Taliban. Another instance arose when in 1994, a few months before the Taliban took control of Kandahar, two militia commanders confronted each other over a young boy whom they both wanted to sodomize. In the ensuing fight, Omar's group freed the boy; appeals soon flooded in for Omar to intercede in other disputes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullah_Omarhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_baziMore from Peter McKnight @ the Vancouver Sun: "How abuse of boys played a role in the Taliban’s eventual triumph" >It’s called bacha bazi — “boy play” in several local languages. Boys, typically between 10 and 18, are dressed in makeup and feminine clothing and forced to dance for men at social functions. The dancing is often little more than a cover for what bacha bazi is really about — the boys are bought and sold, thereby becoming property, and are subject to repeated sexual abuse. Bacha bazi is not dancing; it’s a nefarious cornucopia of human rights violations — the forcible confinement of children, the trafficking of children, and the keeping of children in a state of child sexual slavery. https://archive.is/hHXWL Sound Familiar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6q6EaXBlMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxdvOLdG_34
