I Have A Really Stupid Question About The Taliban's Clothes/Garb/Outfits......

Their garb looks heavy and overly warm and all the pictures I see of the Taliban - their clothes look like they were just laundered and clean.

How do they keep their garb clean - given the terrain in Afghanistan? Do they carry around a number of outfits with them? Are their laundromats available for their use?

I said - this is a stupid question but it's something that has bugged me for a long time.

Very stupid question. Next.

34. My parents are gone, but my dad enjoyed doing both of those chores.


Your dad was a *****.

That's why they don't want the women folk to go to school and become edumacated.  The need someone to beat their robes clean on a rock down by the river...

There is an old axiom that there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.  And this DUmmies has proved itself to be the exception that proves that rule.

22. Many people know almost nothing about life in Middle Eastern

countries. There is poverty there, of course. There is also wealth.

Many people also know nothing about Islam. They are simply reacting to the situation without knowledge.

Which is not to say that I would choose to live in that area. I was stationed in Samsun, Turkey for 15 months back in the late 1960s while in the USAF. While there, I met quite a few Turks, in all walks of life. The vast majority of them were nice people, but with different ways of thinking than I had.

I learned a lot about their country, their lifestyles, and how they lived. It's not my cup of tea, although I drank a great deal of Turkish tea while I was there.

29. Thank you. And I'll bet you know they are Afghans, not Afghani.

Someone posted a thread about this earlier but obviously no one paid it the slightest amount of attention.

Yeah, they actually argued about it earlier in the thread; apparently "Afghani" is racist and colonialist.  It's supposed to be "Afghan."

By the way, welcome back CC27.  You were missed.

35. We must be very careful not to be unfair to the Taliban.

They’re sensitive and they have feelings, too.

That's putting it mildly.  "President" Biden says they're going through an existential crisis.

Is this DUmmy being sarcastic or serious?  Difficult to tell with them.

Maybe if some DUmmie had done work outside during a sunny hot summer (s)he could tell other DUmmies why being covered from the Sun is a good idea, even for darker skinned people.

Seen on Instagram; someone should go through all the old taliban Twitter and Facebook posts to find embarrassing posts. That will make them realize how wrong they’ve been and issue apologies.

Twitter bans the US president, but allows the Taliban to keep their account. Jack Dorsey should be arrested and charged with treason.

I'm guessing the goats smell better than the Muslims, and probably better than most DUmmies.
