i'm not against understanding other cultures OR other religions OR other beliefs but i am NEVER going to understand (or want to) things like treating women like chattel or worse, killing them for doing something so horrid like GOING TO SCHOOL. there is NOT ONE BIT OF SYMPATHY IN MY HEART for this taliban member (current or former i don't give a shite). and please don't forget who gives aid and comfort to al qaeda. i will go so far as to say (AGAIN) this man NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED IN AMERCIA much less let into a school here.
Former Taliban Ambassador Denied Yale Admission

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- A former Taliban ambassador who sparked controversy by enrolling as a nontraditional student last year at Yale University was denied admission to a program that would have put him on track to receive a Yale degree, a supporter said.
Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, who had been studying in a special program that does not award degrees, became the topic of debate after a New York Times Magazine story in February described his life at the Ivy League school.
Supporters said the school was promoting understanding across cultures. But critics, including some alumni, were aghast that Yale would open its gates to someone who represented a repressive regime that harbored al-Qaeda.
Students in Hashemi's program are eligible to apply for admission to the Eli Whitney Program, which awards the same bachelor's degrees received each spring by Yale undergraduates.........
