Taliban-o-rific!
Everyone's favorite religious extremists are at it again. No, they're not blasting Buddhas anymore. That's so ancient history! They've decided to "kick it up a notch" and require non-Muslims to wear a "mark of distinction." Hmmm, can't say that's a terribly original idea, there Mullah...
"Under the decree, the Ministry of Vice and Virtue has made it mandatory for the Hindus to wear a yellow badge on their chests," he said.
Himat tried to cast the order in a favorable light, saying it was in response to demands from Hindus living in Afghanistan to be distinguished from Muslims.
"This order was issued on the demand of Hindus who were concerned all the time because the workers of the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice would always ask them to grow a beard or go and offer prayers in the mosque," he said.
Of course! Those damned Hindus and their meddling requests!
