I think that someone raised in a Taliban environment who goes and kills people for the sake of his religion is not a bad person. It is not his fault. At the same time, I wouldn’t really call him a person at all. He is simply a robot; a product of the system. There are people like that in every culture, perhaps far more than not. They’re not bad, but they’re not good either. They’re nothing.
