Instead of cleric's beards their fat faces are clean shaven, but the leaders of the religious right in this country are not much different than the Taliban. It's all just matters of degrees - they may not keep women away from education (though they would if they could - this is the same mentality that made women struggle and fight for almost a century to be even able to vote) - but they do what they can to keep their power, and women in a controlled place, through their "family values" scam.
