Sahar Saba says that when a few Taliban will probably join the Karzai government, wooed by the US, the price will be to further Islamize the government.

When two brave women activists, risking their lives, filmed Zarmina’s execution at Kabul’s stadium, no US channel was ready to show this footage. The footage showing a burqa-clad Zarmina, squatting in the middle of the stadium, while being fired at point-blank by a Talib, was considered too shocking to be aired to the US public. However, it was only after September 11 that the Revolutionary Afghan Women Association (RAWA) — whose members had filmed this horrible incident to alarm the world regarding Afghan women’s plight — started getting telephone calls from US channels. Every channel now wanted to show Zarmina’s execution. Ahead of the US invasion, it was no longer too ugly to air for a sensitive US audience.
