New Taliban laws that prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes have been condemned by the UN and met with horror by human rights groups.
The Taliban published a host of new “vice and virtue” laws last week, approved by their supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, which state that women must completely veil their bodies – including their faces – in thick clothing at all times in public to avoid leading men into temptation and vice.
Women’s voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of vice and so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions. Women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud, even from inside their houses.
Not sure how right or wrong that is when taking into account the more moderate sections of it, but in this particular case, as the article says, it’s not really about Islam. The holy texts don’t really call for any of this.
Are you saying this is just toxic masculinity and militias run amok?
My understanding of Afghanistan’s complex situation isn’t sufficient to confirm or deny, sorry.
I’m not an anthropologist or a religion expert but you don’t have to be one to notice that the most oppressive cultures towards women or gay people have one common denominator. Islam. Honour killings, marrying underage girls, do I need to keep going?
well maybe you need to educate your self before accusing a bout 1.8 billion people of something less than 100,000 do.
Burn their holy book and see what happens. Burn a bible and compare. You’re either arguing in bad faith or very naive, and I’m being extremely generous here. Good luck with this level of cognition
So you don’t like the cognitive that objective to the fact there are 1.8 billion muslium and you casting a general statement. You are not even attempting to compare “Muslium” to “Non Muslium” or doing any form of “thoughts” to support your comments other than personal feelings.
Even if 30% of muslims are actively against any violence there is still enough critical mass to make this religion an existential threat to the western world.
