Reno Omokri, a former aide on social media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has criticized labelling the Taliban as barbaric but tolerating gay advocacy and transgender lifestyle.
Omokri says the Taliban are not more backward than the liberal western advocates who rail against polygamy but are okay with gay marriage.
He wrote on Twitter: “Do you blame the Taliban for not wanting the Western lifestyle? Who is more backwards between them and those who believe polygamy is barbaric but gay marriage is civilised?
“Yes, their version of Islam requires women to cover up their bodies in public, but how is that worse than forcing young girls to use the same public toilets as grown men who have decided that they are no longer men and are now women? We often see the condemnation of radical Islamic extremism. But what about Western liberal extremism?
“Last week, Scotland issued a guideline allowing four-year-old children to change their genders WITHOUT INFORMING THEIR PARENTS OR SEEKING THEIR CONSENT. How is that civilisation? Let the West not confuse moral decay for the moral high ground because they have military power!”
