Attempts to promote #Afghanistan #Taliban organised criminal gangs as legitimate government are bound to fail.

Their 'spiritual leader' Haibatullah #Akhundzada is an under-educated narcissist with minimal understanding of #Islam or C21st living. A typical crazy cult leader with his own version of Sharia not known outside Afghanistan, tailor-made to protect Taliban criminal empire from challenge. More Mafia than Muslim.

Taliban or #IS-K? Hard to know which is worse.

God help their victims!

#Taliban demonstrate my thesis about narcissistic systems almost too well.

Their oppression of #women & minorities has no justification in #Islam or C21st society. It has to stop. What will stop it?

It is driven by the open narcissism & grandiosity of #Akhundzada & covert narcissism of his followers.

It can be destroyed by (1) disaster imposed from outside or (2) a charismatic leader who teaches true Islam, offers good government, in place of Akhundzada's bigotry & Taliban gangsterism.
