What is the future of #Islam under the #Taliban?

My guess: #Afghanistan will catch up with #Iran in raising the greatest number of ex-Muslims — atheists, Christians, etc.

Surely, disenchantment with religion has complex reasons everywhere, but exposure to violence, oppression, or bigotry in the name of religion is a significant force in the Muslim world, recently in Turkey and some Arab countries, too, as I wrote here:

Especially the #Turkey case, which I know well, is quite remarkable: Kemalists tried to secularize the nation for 80 years, with limited success. But a much greater secularization (including a trend of #deism) took place in the past 10 years — thanks to the Islamists in power.
