Erdogan on the Taliban: ‘Turkey has nothing that contradicts their beliefs’

Taliban torturing and murdering civilians based on its ‘distorted interpretation of Islamic Sharia’
The Afghanistan Embassy in Australia, at least as far as this article shows, didn’t provide any details on how exactly the Taliban is distorting Sharia.

Afghanistan: Taliban say they now control 85% of the country
