Ever since I read Masanori Yamada's "Faceless Gods" when I was a teenager, the Buddhist cave temple ruins in Bamiyan, Afghanistan have been a place of longing for me.

Immediately after I suggested Afghanistan as a honeymoon destination, my wife went ahead with the honeymoon plans on her own, without consulting me. However I had decided that I would eventually go there by myself.

In March 2001, the Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic organization, blew up the Grotto Buddha.

Since that time, I've always thought that, and still think that

"The zero-intelligent Islamic fundamentalist "Taliban". You're the only ones I'll ever forgive."

I believe that Islamic teachings are basically not bad (except for that vile "afterlife harem" and the suppression of women's private rights).

I appreciate both the "horizontal equality idea" before God and the empirical "suffering experience event period" such as Ramadan.

I'm even wondering if a "Ramadan" type event could be adopted in our country -- away from Islam.

If they are an Islamic fundamentalist, the 'ban on alcohol' may be caustic because of their zero-intelligent.

So, it may be that only in that one respect is it effective against corona. However, I think that's too wishful thinking.

I have fallen into pessimistic forecasting. If it is the Taliban, they will fall into the logic of the lowly terrorists, 'as long as you believe in Allah, you will not be infected'.
