Chilling historical parallel time...
This is what you risk when you fund and train terrorists because you believe you share a common enemy... it really is worth evaluating the means as well as the end.

Hindus will be required to wear an identity label on their clothing in Islamic Afghanistan to distinguish them from Muslims, a Taliban minister said Tuesday.

The hardline Taliban regime that controls 95 percent of this poor Central Asian state plans to enforce the edict soon, Mohammed Wali, religious police minister, told The Associated Press. An exact date was not set, he said.

The law will also make it mandatory for Hindu women to veil themselves - just like Muslim women of Afghanistan, Wali said.
...
The new law will be meant for only Hindus because there are no Christians or Jews in Afghanistan and Sikhs can be easily recognized by their turbans, Wali said. However, at least one Jew is known to live in the Afghan capital of Kabul and there may also be some Christians.

It was unclear whether foreigners living in Afghanistan would be required to wear the identity label.
...
Wali said the decision is in line with Islam. "Religious minorities living in an Islamic state must be identified," he said.
The Taliban have not yet decided what sort of an identity label Hindus will have to wear.

Presumably they'll decide on a yellow star.

Never again?
