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

Afghanistan publicly lashes women for not being fully veiled; one was beaten so badly she lost consciousness

Apr 23, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Aziza….was rounded up by the Taliban’s shadow police for being out of her house without her husband and not being fully veiled. She was beaten so badly she lost consciousness.”

In every country, the more Sharia-compliant it becomes, the more brutality is inflicted upon women and infidels. Brunei recently made headlines over its Sultan’s determination to see the country become more Islamic and implement the Sharia stoning of gays. In Afghanistan, “one of four women who was recently subjected to a brutal public lashing by armed Taliban fighters in Afghanistan has spoken about her experience, amid an increase of violent punishments given to those violating its strict interpretation of religious law.”

(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.

(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.

All the while, so-called feminists such as Linda Sarsour plays identity politics, hailing the oppressive hijab for transforming her from “white” to a “person of color.” Women are regarded as inferiors according to normative Islam.

“‘I lost consciousness’: woman whipped by the Taliban over burqa without veil,” by Haroon Janjua, Guardian, April 18, 2019:

One of four women who was recently subjected to a brutal public lashing by armed Taliban fighters in Afghanistan has spoken about her experience, amid an increase of violent punishments given to those violating its strict interpretation of religious law.

Aziza, who like many other Afghan women only uses one name, was rounded up by the Taliban’s shadow police for being out of her house without her husband and not being fully veiled. She was beaten so badly she lost consciousness.

A resident of Afghanistan’s Sancharak district in Sar-i-pul – a northern province, where the Taliban has tried to impose strict sharia laws and restrict women’s mobility – Aziza spoke to the Guardian after the flogging last month.

Aziza said she was arrested by armed Taliban fighters after they entered a local market. She was wearing a burqa without mesh covering her face.
“Women in our area have no identity and they are considered incomplete without men. Sometimes men are not available and many women died in the remote areas as they were unable to reach hospital,” she said.

The increase in the lashings of women comes as the group officially tries to appear more inclusive of women, recently announcing it was including dozens of women in their peace talks delegation.

The lashings, however, have evoked comparison with the group’s treatment of women during its previous rule, before it was toppled by the US-led invasion in 2001…..

    No civilised government, mine or anyone else’s, should negotiate anything with these savages.

      Yes, these are savages. They should not be called ‘animals’ since animals would never behave in this way. If captured these creatures should be kept in a zoo.

      Agreed, elee. That so many in the West have done so is insanity.

    But if we criticize or condemn someone who beats a woman unconscious in the name of Islam … well, that would ‘Islamophobic’.

    We are being told to be SILENT whenever Muslims commit a violent act in the name of their religion.

    To fail to speak a word in favor of the oppressed is worse than any crime.

    Afghastlistan is one of the most BACKWARD PLACES ON EARTH. They are MONUMENTALLY BACKWARD.

      Indeed.

      How much more BACKWARD can a society become?

      And the West is in the midst of absorbing this BACKWARD filthy mindset and culture?

      Shaytan the deceiver, the lord of flies, must be behind all of this agenda.

    On the morning of April 17, 2019 on FOX NEWS television the subject was covered about the idea of having “peace talks “with the Taliban. Viewing the history of the Taliban when they were in power in Afghanistan and the brutal ruthless misogyny they had engaged in was both vicious and malicious to the extreme.

    Therefore the question ,naturally, was brought up ,now that peace talks” might soon begin, the Taliban it was asked it they return to power in Afghanistan “ would they respect female rights ?”

    To that question the Taliban replied “that when back in power they would respect woman‘s rights but only to the limits of the cultural of will they permit those rights of women.”

    The point is the the “cultural of Afghanistan” is really the religion of Afghanistan, which is Islam.
    Therefore the reality is that female rights, for both girls and woman, will not exist in a future Taliban controlled Islamic state of Afghanistan . For Islam is a religion of harsh and malice- filled misogyny.

    As explained in the book, by Brigitte Gabriel, of the title THEY MUST BE STOPPED. Her book informs the readers on page 172. “Woman in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”

    Having actual, genuine productive “peace talks” with those brutal ,cruel and misogynist Taliban jihadists will be lying most of the time during such ‘”talks.” Therefore real “dialogue” with them is an absurd and fool idea of folly.

    One thing is for sure, even if even attempting to engage on “peace talks” with Taliban it would be best not to be naïve about them and take at face value anything that they might say or promise. To just “give trust away” to those Islamic characters who compose the Taliban would be foolishness and folly. For when trying to have genuine negotiations with the them ,it need to be kept in mind that there is an Islamic doctrine called TAQIYYA This is the Muslim dogma the lying and deception are good things to do, if and as long as the lies and deceit are done for the advancement of Islam.

    For the deceptive and disingenuous Taliban have proven many times over, by their own actions, that they are a ruthless, brutal vicious gang of thugs with no honor. So in any kind of “dialogue” the Taliban will most likely speak the truth only when it happened to suite them. The rest of the time they will be speaking half-truths and also be outright lying. Likewise, the Taliban will keep their word in anything that they may happen to promise only and long as in fits into their agenda and no longer. So before engaging of the foolishness of attempting to have genuine “talks for a peace alliance” with Taliban, the officials of the current government would do well to heed the wisdom of Sun Tzu found in THE ART OF WAR. For it instructs “We cannot enter into an alliance neighboring’s princes, until we are acquainted with their designs.” To put this in a more updated and current way, it may be said that “We cannot enter into a peace alliance with the Taliban until we know the actual intentions and real schemes.”

    Furthermore, if attempting to engage in “peace talks” with Taliban it would be very naïve to take at face value anything that the Taliban might promise. For example, the Taliban might say that they will respect the rights of women and girls, for they ,many times, employ the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya In those so called “negotiations” with officials of the West .Taaqyia ids the Islamic teaching that lying and deceit
    So it may be nothing but foolishness and folly to even try to have worthwhile constructive peace discussions with lying brutal cruel men who make up the Taliban . For having a genuine practical peace compromise with Taliban might be impossible

    As the former US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he said “There has never been – there never can be – successful compromise between good and evil.”

      the mere fact that the west is “negotiating” for peace is pure folly. Comparable with wanting to make a basket of reed hold water put into it. See this interview: https://youtu.be/nTdMY9RI-7E

    The headline “Afghanistan publicly lashes women for not being fully veiled” is misleading. It givs the impression that the Afghan government ordered the lashing, whereas in truth it was the fundamentalist rebels, the Taliban, who publicly lash women for not being fully veiled. This is injustice toward the Afghan government, which does not commit such barbarous acts.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 23, 2019 at 5:13 pm

      Not so fast–do you know that Afghanistan–not the Taliban, but the government–now has *stoning* back on the books?

      “Adulterers may be stoned under new Afghan law, official says”

      https://www.reuters.com/article/us-afghanistan-rights-idUSBRE9AO0EB20131125

      Sounds pretty barbarous.

      The Afghan government–which would not last a week without our propping it up–is only marginally better than the Taliban itself.

    As long as American troops are in Afghanistan we should be tracking down the Taliban and their supporters and killing them, not negotiating with them.

    German minister Maass speaks against sexual violence with Angelina Jolie – while women and girls get raped here daily ! what a hypocrite ! Muslim ” men ” are pathetic whimps who live in fear of women that’s why they treat them like that . Akif Pirici said : in Islam it’s 80% about female genitals . He is a Turkish writer living in Germany .

    “…If they do that{i e wear their hijabs and cover up},it will be known that they are free and that they are not servants or whores”
    Tafsir Ibn Kathir 33:59

    So if they don’t do that..they are to be considered immoral and available for lusty men..

    FEMINISTS kindly note..

    Woman with Hijab=pure and pious,off limits to men
    Woman without Hijab=immoral,impious,available to men

    Al Ilah :the Arab pagan god who hates women.

    “Women are to be compared to slaves and camels with regard to the EVIL in them”
    Abu Dawud 2155

    “Aisha said to muhammed””you have made us equal to the dogs and asses”
    Sahih Muslim 4:1039

    The reason why the koran says the testimony of a woman is HALF that of a man?

    “this is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind”
    Sahih Bukhari 2658

    The hijab is worn in honor of a god who hates women.

      They cover their women so they don’t have to see the markings of abuse nor to see them crying as they weep after such unholy experiences of a decrepit way of living.

        Good Question Crusader!

        Feminists attack Trump! Who is as different as day from night to these “women-beaters”.

        Perhaps among other reasons Feminists are MYOPIC. And looking only at their own country, culture. But with the treatment of women and in the Information Age, it is ludicrous to only look at ones own country, one must maintain a global view and compare.

        Feminists are guilty of the discrimination of “lower expectation”. They expect far less from Muslim men than from White men.

        They can see that (part of) Muslim men can be very very guilty but ignore it. It is as if they think: Animals, Children and Muslims can’t change, so why bother? But white men CAN change, so it is rational to only admonish them.

        If that is indirectly respecting white men more than Muslim men, it is almost racism/ bigotry.

      Hideous–and the Taliban is doing this openly.

      This may be the only time a man can hold a woman’s hands in public–when he is preventing her from running away or falling over while receiving a beating.

      God, I hate Islam.

    Is this what the ISIS brides left civilisation to fight for? Somebody please explain. Do they actually desire the beatings and degradations?

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Apr 23, 2019 at 3:21 pm

      I doubt they desire the beatings and degradation for themselves. However, they do desire beatings and degradation for others. So they follow the rules and sometimes they get to degrade somebody and watch a good beating as it is being handed out. I’m sure they see it as the good life.

      • gravenimage says

        Apr 23, 2019 at 5:22 pm

        Yes–or at least hear about it. Note that no women were watching this flogging–the only women present were the victims.

        But yes–pious Muslim women love this savagery as much as the men do, and often turn each other in to the “morality police”.

    This is why we cannot make peace with the Taliban! What are we thinking? We’re going to “reinsert” the Islamists that so many American lives died to get rid of so that they could restore the fulness of the sharia? I understand we have to pull out, but not in that manner.

    Afghanistan publicly lashes women for not being fully veiled; one was beaten so badly she lost consciousness
    …………………….

    *Horrifying*.

    And several things to note here–her being “not fully veiled” only was because the mesh was missing from her Burqa–she was already swathed head to toe, with most of her face covered.

    And this was the Taliban–they are already “arresting” people and flogging them. The Afghan government, such as it is, is either unable or unwilling to stop this. The Taliban is already acting as thought they are essentially back in power.

      Of course, André Carson, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, CAIR and all the other “Muslim community leaders” will include the words “Muslim” and “Islam” when they get around to publicly denouncing both the perps and the specific Qur’an passages which drive them to treat their “sisters” like that.

      Holding my breath now.
