Yep, like talking about 'moderate' ayatollahs in Iran.
By Donald R. McClarey, JD
A moderate Taliban is a member of the Taliban who is out of ammunition and his enemies have plenty. The Taliban do have quite a few factions, but to use the terms “moderate” and “conservative” for these factions merely indicate that the commentators have no clue. It is akin to taking about a “moderate” member of the SS and a “conservative member” of the SS circa 1938.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
