Quick Glance: Why the Taliban cannot disregard girls' education in the Muslim world
  • In July, a Taliban delegation from Afghanistan quietly visited Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.

  • There, they may have witnessed why the rest of the world keeps the Taliban at a distance.

  • Unlike the Taliban, Indonesia places great emphasis on educating girls, with girls outnumbering boys at the secondary level.

  • Gaining official recognition from Indonesia is crucial for the Taliban's search for allies in the Muslim world.
