Afghanistan gets seat at UN Commission on the Status of Women, dedicated to promotion of gender equality

Sep 17, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 32 Comments

Because if there is anything Afghanistan is known for, it is gender equality and the championing of the rights of women. This article is full of people saying how good this will be for women in Afghanistan, but it is much more likely to whitewash the plight of women in Afghanistan.

The UN is more of a sick joke by the day. Why is it still in the United States, and why is the United States still in it?

“Afghanistan secures a coveted seat at the UN women’s commission,” Al Jazeera, September 15, 2020:

Afghanistan has secured a seat at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) for the first time in its history, the South Asian country’s Permanent Mission to the UN announced on Tuesday.

Afghanistan received 39 votes to find a place at the prestigious body, which is dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women globally. India also secured a seat.

China was also a contender but failed to secure enough votes. The term will last from 2021 until 2025.

Afghanistan’s representative to the UN, Adela Raz, said winning the seat was of “critical importance”…

    ……………..

    These UN commissions, like the one on Human Rights, have long been a laughingstock.

      +1 GI,

      If you look back into the history of the UN, it started its precipitous fall when Dag Hammarskjold was killed over Africa but has sped into high gear since 9/11.

        It is a colonial relic of a white supremacist past that will never exist like that again.
        The UN was finished decades ago when it refused to do anything to end the zionist occupation of Palestine. It is truly a joke and a waste of money, time and resources. Only the Islamic Ummah and laws of God take precedence.

          The idea that the UN is “white supremacist” is insane. In fact, it is now dominated by unfree Muslim nations. As for the “Palestinians”, it is still pretending that they are a “refugee” group after over seventy years.

      Women in ISLAM have get more respect and reverence that in Christianity and Judaism combined…facts. Actually go read the Holy Quran. Unless, you missed the part about “women and men are garments of one another” or “men and women are equal and are only separated by piety and good deeds (Mohammad’s last public speech before he died). Look at how Muhammad treated his first wife, Khadijah, and all of his subsequent wives. This at a time when women were being abused and considered chattel. Real women are modest and respectful of men, which is why they are given such high status in Islam. As for arab culture and norms, this is NOT Islam. I would suggest to any intelligent person to see for yourself, and study Mohammads life and good treatment towards women. And use real study, not silly hadiths which are nothing more than bedouin heresay and were compiled 300 years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad. Islam has no birth record or starting point. It was ALWAY HERE. And quite frankly, Islam would not have spread throughout the world so fast if it was oppressive towards women. Praise be to Allah for the Muslim men and women of America which represent Islam to the fullest. Allah U Akbar!!

        What about the advice to beat women; allowing sex with slave women, women’s testimony being half that of a man? And Arab culture is ‘not Islam’?! Then what is?

        It is not possible to exaggerate the extent to which Muslims can deny the worst aspects of their religion, which are in black and white, in their eternal book of hate.

        To Sabri S- I believe you are
        a brainwashed Muslim.

        If polygamy is a sign that women are treated well in Islam, Islam should be rejected by everyone for that barbaric ideology and practice.

        Doctrine and human behavior are not the same.

        Yes Sabri, Moham mad “loved” all his 11 wives, as long as they kept him “happy”. The Muslim Brotherhood hoods state “Islam and Western democracy are NOT compatible”. I agree, Western democracy does not allow slaves, 4 wives and sex slaves, marrying children, beatings, cutting off limbs, honour killing………….We grew up many centuries ago, Muslims live in the past and still follow the rules of a perverted little man.

        muhammed’s ‘good treatment towards women’?

        Not according to Aisha.

        Aisha begs to differ!

        “Aisha said to muhammed ‘you have made us equal to the dogs and asses’
        Sahih Mulim 4:1039

        “Women are compared to slaves and camels with regard to the evil within them”
        Abu Dawud 2155

        As for that pretty hijab which you think is for modesty?
        It’s purpose is to classify women..

        “If they do that{i.e wear the head garment}it will be known that they are free and that they are not servants or whores”
        TAFSIR IBN KATHIR 33:5

        ‘free’ does not mean free from the choice to discard wearing it

        No Hijab implies a slave/prostitute/infidel: thus a woman without a head covering can be judged and classified.

        It will be KNOWN..

        YOU need to do some ‘real study’ as what you post here often contradicts your own koran and hadith:hilarious!

        That Israel is the rightful homeland of the Jews is actually in the koran5:20-26
        It is not ‘zionist occupied’:the Jews returned to a Land that even allah says belongs to the Jews.

        As for a White Supremacist?Why,that would be muhammed{apbuh,actual prophecy be unknown to him},the owner,buyer and seller of black African slaves.You keep ‘forgetting’ to mention that.muhammed and his followers had a ‘white supremacist past’

        But islamic apologists don’t ever get Irony.
        Attacking ‘white supremacy’ whilst ignoring the fact that ‘prophet’ was a white supremacist

          tafsir ibn kathir 33:59

          Women are NOT equal to men in islamic law{koran 2:282}

          And a muslim can have 4 wives{allah is ok with polygamy} but a muslima cannot have 4 husbands{allah is not ok with polyandry}.

          A muslima having 4 husbands would somehow be ‘wrong’ but it is ok for a muslim to have 4 wives.

          Why?Because women are not equal to men in islam.

          allah is ok with polygamy but not with polyandry:islam is skewed in favor of accomodating men.

          islamic apologists who defend the misogyny of islam,the pederasty of muhammed,or the immorality of the ‘holy’ koran are pathetic and they are either evil,obtuse or stupid{or all 3 with the islamic trolls who come here}

        More from Sabri S.:

        Women in ISLAM have get more respect and reverence that in Christianity and Judaism combined…facts.
        ………………………………

        Note that Sabri S. is incapable of backing this up. But then, when did pious Muslims ever care about facts?

        More:

        Actually go read the Holy Quran. Unless, you missed the part about “women and men are garments of one another” or “men and women are equal and are only separated by piety and good deeds (Mohammad’s last public speech before he died).
        ………………………………

        This first is Qur’an 2:187–and it is *not* about equality between men and women. Instead, it is about how men can demand sex from their wives save during Ramadan:

        “It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]…”
        –Qur’an 2:187.

        https://quran.com/2/187

        Really, Muslims have to lie, because they’ve got nothing else.

        As for Muhammed’s purported last sermon, it says *nothing* about men and women being equal. Instead, it has him describing women as the captives of men and saying they are like domestic animals. It also says they are all guilty of “Fahishah” (evil behavior). It also enjoins beating women.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farewell_Sermon#

        More:

        Look at how Muhammad treated his first wife, Khadijah, and all of his subsequent wives. This at a time when women were being abused and considered chattel. Real women are modest and respectful of men, which is why they are given such high status in Islam.
        ………………………………

        This is grimly hilarious. Muhammed only treated his first wife decently–*before* he invented Islam. Afterwards, he “married” a little 6-year-old and began raping her at 9, and raped another one of his wives right after he had just murdered her husband, father, and brothers in a raid. He also beat his child bride. He threatened to divorce his wives for daring to speak to each other about what he said to them.

        Then, he also raped numerous captives and sex slaves. Ugly, ugly stuff.

        More:

        As for arab culture and norms, this is NOT Islam.
        ………………………………

        Islam started with Arabs, and most Arabs today are Muslim. Islam is also Arab surpremacist. The idea that Muslim Arabs are not Muslim is ludicrous.

        Besides, their abuse of women is perfectly Islamic, and differs in no way from Islamic abuse of women by non-Arab Muslims.

        More:

        I would suggest to any intelligent person to see for yourself, and study Mohammads life and good treatment towards women. And use real study, not silly hadiths which are nothing more than bedouin heresay and were compiled 300 years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad. Islam has no birth record or starting point. It was ALWAY HERE. And quite frankly, Islam would not have spread throughout the world so fast if it was oppressive towards women. Praise be to Allah for the Muslim men and women of America which represent Islam to the fullest. Allah U Akbar!!
        ………………………………

        This is bizarre for a number of reasons. Firstly, Sabri S.’s supposed rejection of the Hadith is inconsistent–he cited the last sermon of Muhammed, above, and this is only cited in the Hadith, *not* in the Qur’an.

        Then, no orthodox Sunni school rejects the Hadith–including Al Azhar, which is the seat of Sunni learning.

        Then, the Qur’an is almost as vicious as are the Hadith, including the beating of women, Qur’an 4:34. It also includes passages on keeping sex slaves and raping underaged girls.

        As for the idea that Islam being spread by the bloody sword being proof of its validity is absurd. Islam is savage toward non-Muslims, women, and other vulnerable groups. The idea that it could not have spread if it was cruel towards women is absurd–Communism and Fascism also spread, and this was not proof of their being salubrious.

    At least Afghanistan has appointed a woman to the role, unlike Saudi Arabia who have a male (can’t call him a man) in the role.
    Also, her father was executed by the Taliban for being “progressive”.
    Given her past, her appointment may be a step in the right direction as she has a reputation of not being the obedient little woman.

    In Afghanistan, with Islam, women will never have equal rights with men.

    It will only become worse for women after the Taliban regains in power in that country.

    For example, 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 was asked if 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.

    Women‘s rights but only to the limits of the cultural of will they permit those rights of women.”

    The point is that 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.”

      The White Ignorant Lefty Liberal Yobs{..the WILLYs…}of antifa and BLM are not interested in such things as the plight of women in the islamic world.

      It is funny to watch all those {WHITE} BLM activists:I guess they have.. ‘white privilege’.

      “Black lives matter” they shout,to which the retort is ‘All lives matter”:but they get angry at that.

      But if BLM do not think ALL lives matter ,isn’t that ….racist?Yes it is.

      What about the unborn African Americans?BLM doesn’t care!
      It seems their lives don’t matter.

      {As for antifa,I’m sure some Bikers might like to have a few choice words…}

      These protest groups like to use noise to silence people:I was watching a video on YT of a Christian street preacher and members of a certain community start banging drums to drown him out.So the preacher then used the opportunity to turn it into an impromptu music session praising Jesus with the intolerant protesters unwittingly providing the musical background.
      That’s a good tactic and pretty funny too.
