7. Obviously not recent history.

The Taliban made special sport of persecuting the Hazaras.

Remember Bamiyan? The Buddhist site?

Hazara territory. Just one of the little gifts provided by the Taliban in evincing their religion of universal peace and pacification.

And that's no 16th century. That's 21st.

Just like Quetta in 2013 isn't 16th century. Except possibly in the style of thinking of the more enlightened of the Taliban, but such progressive "16th century" thought will be rooted out as anti-Islamic. After all, that would be early Renaissance-style thinking. Far too progressive.
