were not extreme about it. They read from the Quran during weddings and funerals. It was not used to justify harming or killing an individual. However, after the Taliban took over, the militant group used the Quran to back up their extreme version of Sharia, or punishment. There was not a separation of church and state.

When Yakoobi tried…

Two of Schwartz’s Value Types that I think seem to be most in conflict regarding the issue of American sanctions and North Korea are Power and Benevolence. When talking about North Korea, one gets the sense that they are totally out of touch with what it means to be a great country.

The…
