Not sure if you're just looking for a fight, but I'm not comparing. I'm pointing out that the Taliban is not an admirable group. I think praising a group that persecutes lgbtq+ people in an lgbtq+ community is really fucking tacky.
I get what you're saying, but commending a group that is currently running fascistic, theocratic, totalitarian government for repelling an invading force isn't exactly the talking point you want it to be.
Not to once again prove Godwin's law, but it's like saying "Hitler may have nearly eradicated all the Jews, but he brought Germany out of spiraling hyperinflation!" You may have a point, but no one's going to listen closely enough to prevent them from interpreting your statement as an endorsement of Hitler.
