No way!!
For today's amusement, I present a list of banned items from the Taliban.
My favorite is the ban on paper bags (and recycled paper) because of the possibility that pieces of the Koran may be included in the product. Penalty is (OF COURSE) death.
- banning all female schools, including female-only schools
- banning women from picnic spots or tourist attractions
- banning women from working

- Banning women from gathering for festive occasions such as holidays, or for any recreational purposes
- Banning women from wearing nail polish.

- Modification of all place names including the word "women." For example, "women's garden" has been renamed "spring garden".
- Compulsory painting of all windows, so women can not be seen from outside their homes.

Hammer, there's a book called "The Truth About Muhammad" by Robert Spencer that is worth reading.
The western world needs only one thing on its banned list: islamists.
That's quite a list.
Maybe we could all have some fun, and see just what items would get each of us banned!
