In as much as PH has already posted material that indicates the Taliban rejects Evolution, ...Really? I didn't catch that. PH?

It was post 19, but it was the "moderate" Saudis, not the Taliban. Longshadow jumped the gun, due to my remarks about creationism and the Taliban, but I have no source. Not yet. Nevertheless, if the Saudis are against evolution, can there be any doubt about the Taliban?

I thought PH had found such a connection and posted it on another thread, but I could be mistaken.
It matters not.
From this thread, we have this statement from Saudi authorities:
"It also said the game contradicted Islamic teachings by promoting Darwin's theory of evolution [snip]"
Given that the Saudi's are LESS strict in their fundamentalist fervor, as evidenced by their throwing Osama bin Laden out of the country, than the Taliban, who welcomed bin Laden to Afghanistan, it is axiomatic that if the Saudi's say Darwin contradicts Islamic teaching, the Taliban certainly isn't going to embrace old Charlie and his ideas.
