[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Afghan law requires the baby to remain in Afghanistan or only be placed with a Muslim Afghan relative or another family abroad?

Are we talking current Afghan (read: taliban) law?

Any reason why any country should abide by Taliban law?

This is tricky, right?

It’s not exactly the traditional islamaphobia, white savior privilege, right?

I’m all for orphans being raised by loving family members. I think ethnicity, culture and religion matter. But see the slippery slope? Should orphans only be placed with people who look like them?

Personally, I don’t think any civilized country should abide by the laws of the Taliban. YMMV.

I see where you are coming from, and that’s one of the arguments the lawyer for the Masts (his brother, in fact) was making (referring to young boys being assaulted by men over there), but the slippery slope also goes the other way: can we just take the babies of countries very different from ours, just because we perceive their laws and procedures to be inferior?

You guys didn't read the article. This happened before the Taliban took over. When the U.S. was still in Afghanistan. READ READ READ.[/quote]
