Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ramadan in Afghanistan: 80 girls’ schools close over Islamic State threats to bomb them

Jun 7, 2018 7:36 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

More than 80 girls’ schools have closed and exams have been postponed after Islamic State militants in eastern Afghanistan said they would bomb them in retaliation for US air strikes.

Now why would Islamic State jihadis target these particular schools? It is because females are inferiors under Islamic law. Girls who pursue an education are deemed to be in violation of Sharia.

Broadcasts on their propaganda radio warned officials to close the schools and told parents “not send their daughters to schools to pursue this secular infidel curriculum”….The number of girls in education across the country was long touted as a sign of progress by the international coalition trying to rebuild Afghanistan.

Feminists who claim to represent human rights continue to be silent about the world’s worst oppression against women.

“Eighty Afghan girls’ schools close over Islamic State threat,” by Ben Farmer, Telegraph, June 6, 2018:

ore than 80 girls’ schools have closed and exams have been postponed after Islamic State militants in eastern Afghanistan said they would bomb them in retaliation for US air strikes.

Thousands of pupils were kept at home in Nangarhar province after the militants declared that “heavy blasts and thunderous attacks will target all those girl schools which disobey this warning”.

Broadcasts on their propaganda radio warned officials to close the schools and told parents “not send their daughters to schools to pursue this secular infidel curriculum”.

All girls’ schools and many boys’ schools were closed in the city of Jalalabad and its neighbouring districts.

The eastern province has become a stronghold of the local affiliate of Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (Isil), since local Islamist militants began swearing allegiance to the movement in 2014.

The number of girls in education across the country was long touted as a sign of progress by the international coalition trying to rebuild Afghanistan…..

    Sadly, I see a picture of little girls forced to wear a hijab. In islam little girls are forced to cover, because they are considered sex objects as are their older sisters. There is nothing worse than islam, in fact there has never been anything worse than islam for 1500 years and yet the elites cover for this evil and make sure the MSM never allow this truth to be exposed. I would like to think that there will be a day of reckoning, but not so sure. Look at all islamic countries that were once Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu proving that islam has a history of winning. Who is to say the same will not be true in the west?

    With half the brain power of these countries forced to live their lives in the kitchen and the bedroom we don’t have to worry about these countries ruining us through strategic superiority. Unless, of course, we send our stupidest to be educated at liberal universities instead of to mental institutions. Sadly, this is what we do.

    These girls are playing the victim card. Well no, of course not! They are not victims of Islamophobia, but they are victims of islam.
