The human mind is perhaps the most unique thing in the world. It can imagine how the world will look like a hundred years from now. It can work out how to travel to Mars. Unfortunately the same human mind can be terribly stupid when it belongs to some people in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

When it was in a coalition government in Pakistan's KP (2013-2018), the Jamat-e-Islami party got pictures of women and animals removed from school text books. This is one party that has many highly educated individuals who donate a lot in charity. Yet it too has people whose minds are like those who lived in the Stone Age.

Afghanistan's Taliban have gone much further. Their morality police have banned pictures and videos of all living things which have souls (meaning humans and animals) in the electronic and print media. I looked at Pakistani newspapers today and found pictures of humans on almost all pages. As for TV, I wonder what Afghan electronic media will show when the ban takes effect. 

These guys are so stupid that they don't realize they are doing their best to make themselves the laughing stock of the whole world. It also makes others wonder if Muslims don't need psychiatric treatment.
