Well now he has no chance at a job in the Trump administration either.
-
I was wondering if this would happen. Now I know.

We live in the bad timeline
-
Forced to flee for having a divergent opinion, fucking dumb even by Taliban standards
-
Nuh uh, Dr.Strange said this is the only one where we win.
-
It was really just the first one he saw that they won. There were more timelines, Strange just got tired and picked this one.

I mean, is it? I think you assume too much about the value they place on rigorous intellectual debate.
Their thing is that the established local version of Islam is perfect, handed down from god and miraculously transmitted flawlessly by whatever mullah is in charge today. Having a different take, besides presenting a personal health and safety threat to the guys in charge, is non-figuratively heresy.

Didn't he go through literal millions or something the movie? You bet your ass he was tired.
-
But is this a timeline where he is right or one where he is wrong?
-
There is no Islamic rule preventing girls education, which is what the foreign minister was arguing for. It is the Pashtun tribal traditions hardliners which are banning it.
-
Yeah, I said the "established, local" version of Islam very deliberately. Like every other religion it's very flexible to whatever religious leaders find convenient.
The idea that the teachings of Islam are limited to the Quran is not accepted by the mainstream at all, so you can't even nail them the way you can nail evangelicals on all the non or anti-biblical stuff they do.
