burkha has been customary to Afghansitan long before Islam came there ... thought the Taliban put severe restriction on other alternative ... Burkha has been there for long time .... infact, if memory serves, the Soviets when they controlled Afghanistan introduce a lot of freedom for women ... however in 1978 or 1979, a uprising broke out, and the Afghans broke into a Soviet compounds and cut the Soviet advisors and their familly into pieces ... because of the Soviet introduction of no restriction for women, which the ethnic afghan found insulting
for some reason, today the West propoganda machine is trying the link burkha to Taliban, as if it was a Taliban invention. thereby touching the hearts and mind of western people, who would be disgusted by these things ... Dr. Goebelles would be proud ....
