One of the founders of the Taliban and the chief enforcer of its harsh interpretation of Islamic law when they last ruled Afghanistan said the hard-line movement will once again carry out executions and amputations of hands, though perhaps not in public.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Mullah Nooruddin Turabi dismissed outrage over the Taliban's executions in the past, which sometimes took place in front of crowds at a stadium, and he warned the world against interfering with Afghanistan's new rulers.
"Everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments," Turabi told The Associated Press, speaking in Kabul. "No one will tell us what our laws should be. We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran."

Ok and? Who is surprised? Also - not our problem. How about we handle the oppression and injustices in our own country before we criticize other people. Honestly - let's be realistic.
Also let's be realistic that what the Taliban says they're going to do is a Christian right winger's wet dream. Don't say that it's not - you know how many Christian conservatives I've seen who espouse the same ideology as the Taliban?
