At the gates of Kabul's central mosque, just before evening prayers, the Guardian came across Qari Edi Mohamed, the 30-year-old muezzin, who sings the call to prayer. Smiling and counting off a string of prayer beads, he denied that the Taliban had ever beaten any women. "They didn't beat women," he lied. "I didn't see it." He said the Koran encouraged work and learning for women. So the Taliban were against the Koran? "The rule of the Taliban was in agreement with Islam," he said, explaining their five-year ban on women working and learning as the result of "the military situation", then saying there was not enough money to pay them. Mohamed learned the words of the Koran in Karachi in Pakistan, and came to Kabul five years ago, not long before the Taliban arrived. Asked why he was lying about the beating, he finally admitted that it had gone on. "They didn't beat women who covered their faces," he said. "If there was a bit of ankle showing, yes, they beat them. If they went out without their brother or their mother they would also be beaten but that's reasonable. It was the Taliban's job. They were within their rights." Most of the men in Kabul, he claimed, would object if women showed their faces in town. "It's a sin," he said. "It's a sin for them to show their faces and it's a sin for me to look at them."
