Taliban fighters have stopped the sale of contraceptives in two of Afghanistan’s main cities, claiming their use by women is a western conspiracy to control the Muslim population.

@Coctaanatis: I can legit see a time in the not too distant future when the Taliban and western Evangelical leaders, not to mention Islamic leaders in Iran and militants in other nations around the world, meet to discuss cooperation on family values, "traditional" education, and other aspects of the Culture War.
@thedisasterautist I can certainly picture a level of cooperation developing over shared goals, just as evangelicals have been cooperating with Catholics on matters such as abortion. It wasn't that long ago that many evangelicals believed the Pope to be the antichrist.
@Coctaanatis: Times and fashions change, and then there's the classic political adage: "Needs must when the devil drives."
If they all as a political demographic keep losing, they band up, even if it's while holding their noses.
