REGARDING your photograph of the pro-Taliban marchers in Blackburn (LET, November 12), several of them were wearing designer sportswear. Do they not realise that, as the Taliban view anything like this as representing the corrupt West, they would likely be publicly flogged for wearing these garments?

Perhaps they should have a better understanding of the regime they support, or, better still, they should visit Afghanistan and see for themselves the treatment meted out to ordinary Afghans by these monsters in the name of religion.
