Rumour has it, I was told in spin class by Sandra, who was told by Jesse, who learned it from Robert - the Taliban want to put the niqab on all female animals, not just humans. Apparently, it's going really well, there are some minor issues with the birds being unable to fly, but other than that, they are full steam ahead.
Oh, Taliban, it would be as absurd to cover the females of other species as it is to cover women. We do not exist for your sexualisation and production of progeny, but rather to have health, wellness and joy in living a free life. All of creation belongs to God, as such, you don't own us and any notion that you do is pure egotism. Go ahead and wear a blindfold or else remove your eyes from their sockets if what God has made offends you so. The girls are alright outta your sight. Or perhaps it is our intelligence that frightens you so? At least be honest with yourselves.
And so we said to the Taliban, and wow it was hot over there, that it makes greater sense and is a more chivalrous act for a man to wear a blindfold than a woman be forced into a niqab or other such clothing item. Then the women can do as they please! I'm not sure what they thought of it, but we do try to be of assistance where we can, eh old chap.
