yes and if i'm reading it correctly, the article says banning women from schools is a remnant of tribal law, which is why they favour sharia law -- the lesser evil apparently given the circumstances -- as crazy as it may sound to out secular ears

What I am talking about is that there were schools in Afghanistan that were closed after Taliban came to power. Some teachers that continued to teach girls were tortured and imprisoned or executed by Taliban.

It was Sharia court that made them go to prison or get sentenced to violent punishment. That Sharia court was given power by Taliban. It was not tribal court that did that, it was Sharia court.
