Dubious Taliban image

@Googleguy007: Perhaps you could explain your rationale for adding this image a little more clearly. On the face of it, you current edit summary, which explains the motive as to "make a diabolical terrorist organization look bad" seems somewhat questionable with respect to MOS:IRELEV. The section in question is about gender segregation, not violence against women or any of the more specific privations of the Taliban, a page that is already appropriately furnished with the image as a relevant one.
