This spokesman for the Taliban is doing what any spin doctor is paid to do. He is paid with power and control by his own admission, even if he is lying about not being paid with money. His job is to talk about the "poor Taliban being bullied by the West" while pretending that the Taliban doesn't kill and enslave people who don't follow THEIR orders.

I don't think they are bothering to pretend that because it literally says in the Koran they are allowed to.

They just pretend it's authentic killing and enslaving and then middle class westerners will lap it up.
