His refusal to bow to political correctness has already won Peter Davies plenty of plaudits.

But the new mayor of Doncaster, who has been praised for his outspoken approach, has received less support for his latest suggestion that we could all learn something about family values - from the Taliban.

Mr Davies claimed that under the Taliban, Afghanistan had an 'ordered system of family life'.

He said: 'The one thing that can be said about the Taliban is that they do have an ordered society of some sort and that they don't have hundreds of cases of children under threat of abuse from violent parents as we do in Doncaster.'

Mr Davies expressed his latest controversial opinion just before Doncaster's children's

We've got to get this guy and the Japanese Prime Minister's wife who rode to Venus together. A match made on Venus I think.

That has to be the biggest dumb-ass statement posted today by any politician worldwide.

Yes. We can learn how to throw acid in the face of anyone who tries to teach a girl to read. We can learn to murder our daughters if they dare defy us.

Well yes. We could learn that the only way to win victory is by obliterating the enemy, then we could try that out on the taliban and create peace.

Wonder if thats what he had in mind................

Think his head would explode if the headline was re-written to accurately say: Minister says that gays should be executed like Taliban does.

Good grief. This about a band of goat lovers that routinely sodomize their male children, brutalize the girls, have a herd of wives who are treated like the slaves they are, strap explosives to young boys and send them into the marketplace, set fire to schools, and...well, the list of their loving care for children is endless, I guess, isn’t it.

I think it’s a safe bet that the UK will be experiencing Taliban family values soon enough.

What a freakin' moron.

No, they just kill them when the kid brings shame to the family. And the wife, well, they just beat them and lock them in their rooms till they smarten up, or starve to death.

You just can't find better a better ordered society anywhere....

Public floggings, stonings, killing girls for being raped, murdering adults and kids for becoming Christians, kill girls for dating in America, drown them by the carloads in canals, and rent motel rooms and drown them in the pool. Gives him the warm fuzzies no doubt

Wow. Still morning and I've already seen the most idiotic thing I'll see all day. Between beatings we in the West would consider horrific child abuse, forced marriage of underage girls to men far older, widespread sexual abuse of underage boys by men far older, along with the thousands of boys recruited by the Taliban for violent jihad, it appears this mayor is either insane or completely unfamiliar with the meaning of words such as "abuse" or "violent".

No douchebag, the children just live under the threat of a suicide bombing. You know the Spartans used to have an inspection of each newborn baby, to ensure it was physically fit and capable of defending the city-state. We need to inspect newborns for dumb, I think, so idiots like this don’t get past the cradle.

yeah their Talivalue of giving goats and camels better status then women is awesome.

He's got it. America is doomed because we don't practice the values of the Taliban.

That is only because that the stoning to death of adulterers, imprisonment of young girls, and honor killing has thinned the number of potential abuse victims. Then when you factor in the fact that the Koran encourages the beating of women and children thereby redefining what "abuse" means you have an even lower number of "abused" children.

Muslims need a modern-day Reformation or modern-day Martin Luther to change the face of their religion into something that civilized people can belong to. They definitely need a different religion other than what is being exposed by the Taliban!
