We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turabi \u2014 who oversaw public executions in stadiums, was notorious for destroying music tapes, had berated women, beaten men who trimmed their beards, and banned sports \u2014 said that the regime\u2019s extreme punishments would return.<\/p>\n<p>The AP <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/religion-afghanistan-kabul-taliban-22f5107f1dbd19c8605b5b5435a9de54\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>At that time, the world denounced the Taliban\u2019s punishments, which took place in Kabul\u2019s sports stadium or on the grounds of the sprawling Eid Gah mosque, often attended by hundreds of Afghan men. Executions of convicted murderers were usually by a single shot to the head, carried out by the victim\u2019s family, who had the option of accepting \u201cblood money\u201d and allowing the culprit to live. For convicted thieves, the punishment was amputation of a hand. For those convicted of highway robbery, a hand and a foot were amputated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCutting off of hands is very necessary for security,\u201d he said, adding that the Taliban would \u201cdevelop a policy\u201d about where they carry out their punishments. The Taliban have already revived extreme public shaming campaigns for people who allegedly committed petty crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Turabi\u2019s comments are especially troubling for Democrat President Joe Biden, who has seen his public approval rating crater in recent months after his disastrous withdraw from Afghanistan. The administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/09\/09\/statement-by-nsc-spokesperson-emily-horne-on-qatar-airways-charter-flight-from-kabul\/\">praised<\/a> the Taliban earlier this month as showing \u201cflexibility\u201d and being \u201cbusinesslike and professional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most problematic portion of the AP\u2019s report for Biden was the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p><em>He said now the Taliban would allow television, mobile phones, photos and video \u201cbecause this is the necessity of the people, and we are serious about it.\u201d He suggested that the Taliban saw the media as a way to spread their message. \u201cNow we know instead of reaching just hundreds, we can reach millions,\u201d he said. He added that if punishments are made public, then people may be allowed to video or take photos to spread the deterrent effect.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There was concern initially that the Taliban might move to restrict internet access or cut off their citizens from showing the rest of the world the things that happen inside of Afghanistan. However, if the Taliban views spreading images of violence as a positive for them, then that means those images will get out and the atrocities will at least in part be blamed on Biden.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill reported early on Friday morning that Democrats are concerned the numerous negative images that have gone viral on social media have significantly damaged Biden politically, highlighting specifically Afghanistan and the southern border of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/573699-democrats-worry-negative-images-are-defining-white-house\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p><em>Joel Rubin, a former deputy assistant Secretary of State under the Obama administration, says it can be difficult for administrations to react quickly when images in the media get significant traction and become symbols of a policy.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a culture based on privacy and discretion. There\u2019s 20 people that work on an issue. When a photograph comes up and it\u2019s in the media cycle, it affects all 20,\u201d Rubin said. \u201cBut not all 20 are empowered to do something about that, get out in front of the camera and speak. There\u2019s a bureaucracy to it. It creates stress on policymakers, absolutely. It creates a political environment that shapes the policy response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
