Clerics in Saudi Arabia did the same -complained about radio and TVs in the 1960s. The Taliban is even worse. When people say extreme that is only because the Taliban is following Muhammad and Islamic history such as Muhammad and his soldiers conquered tribes, destroyed statues (called idols), didn’t allow paintings, covered women, and so on. Entertainment too.
      What happens in madrassas is they totally immerse these kids into Islam and the fighting, hatred of non-Muslims which is all over the Qur’an…I’ve read it. Iran did this to boys when Iraq invaded them. Pretty much convinced boys to want to die for Allah.
      But even Wahhabist Saudi Arabia is now letting women not to have to wear the abaya but dressing respectfully, even allowing respectful music, especially ancient instruments and of course modern things. They still have some strict rules, some Qur’anic others cultural.
      It would be stupid if they followed the Qur’an’s allowing marrying cousins because we know that causes health problems and blindness.

But they were never intentionally designed to target children. So Shirwan simply didn't do his homework here.

In fact they were pure occupants, there was nothing temporary about it and they only f...ed off after the collapse of the USSR.
      But this idea of "baby mines" or "toy bombs" seems very far-fetched to me! What probably happened was that kids out of curiosity picked up mines, not intended for them, they were the only interesting objects in otherwise monotonous desert and got injured or killed. I absolutely can see myself picking up such thing as a child. American anti Soviet propaganda turned them into toy bombs.

    While doing my conscription service our instructors told a "cool" story about the Russian infrantry mines used in Afghanistan. Basically the Russians just plowed them all over the place from airplanes and even they didn't exactly know where the mines were. This is not ideal if you have your own men on the ground as well... As a "protective measure", Russian soldiers started using sneakers instead of army boots because this way only your foot flew off if you stepped on a mine and not half of your leg (as military boots are quite high and laced rather tightly, the boot basically tore the whole lower half of the leg with it).

      Soviet PFM-1 mine is almost exact copy of american BLU-43 mine. You can check why americans designed BLU-43 in this shape on wikipedia and for what purpose (cause there is not that much information on PFM-1 wikiperdia page).
      For shape - "...was designed with a shape that would cause it to spiral down to the ground, removing the need for a parachute. " - nothing to do with kids.
      For purpose - "...being preferred by the military because they could be used to deny access to large areas to foot traffic." - nothing to do with destroying whole popultaion.
      Their usage in Vietnam war was classified but same mines in Afghanistan claimed USSR absolute evil well done US.

      The information given were very bias in this case. The Soviets doctrine was adopted since Brezhnev, the moment they realised they were the primary fighting force, not the Afghans. They actually deploy a relatively modest force, and conducted few operations. They were ruthless, however, not to the level described. They deliberately displaced civilians to flush out Mujahideen supports, but the toy bomb, for example, is baseless, drawn up at the time as propaganda against the Soviets. The Afghans communist government actually survived a few attacks by the Mujahideen before crumbling from the inside, after the Soviet Union collapsed cutting off their funding. Afghanistan situation is complex, but it’s not primarily due to the Soviets displacing civilians. Massoud, a leader of the Northern Alliance, was distrustful of the Mujahideen faction supported by Pakistan very early on. The Taliban took a while after the civil war between factions to take control over Afghanistan, to take shape. The link between displaced civilians and Taliban isn’t very strong. It contributed, but the primary factor in the formation of the Taliban was ISI involvement in Afghanistan affairs.
