There is a hadith that makes this appear to be un-Islamic behavior: “Narrated `Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to `Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn `Abbas who said, ‘If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) forbade it, saying, “Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).” I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.”‘” (Bukhari 9.88.6922)
But then there is this: “Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘No doubt, I intended to order somebody to pronounce the Iqama of the (compulsory congregational) prayer and then I would go to the houses of those who do not attend the prayer and burn their houses over them.'” (Bukhari 3.44.2420)
The Taliban also may have been reasoning from Qur’an 5:45: “And we prescribed for them in it, Life for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and retaliation for injuries. But whoever forgoes it, this will be expiation for him. Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such people are wrongdoers.” If she burned dinner, she could be given a like punishment, and burned in response.
“Taliban fighters set an Afghan woman on fire for ‘bad cooking,’ report says,” by Joshua Zitser, Business Insider, August 21, 2021 (thanks to Darcy):
An Afghan woman was reportedly set on fire by Taliban fighters because they weren’t satisfied with a meal she prepared, according to The Telegraph.
A former judge, Najla Ayoubi, told Sky News that she had received multiple reports of violence against women by the insurgent group, The Telegraph reported.
This particular incident, Ayoubi alleged, involved a woman in the north of the country who was “put on fire because she was accused of bad cooking,” the paper said.
“They are forcing people to give them food and cook them food,” she continued.
Ayoubi also said that women are being used as sex slaves, according to Metro.
“They also force families to marry their young daughters to Taliban fighters,” she added. “I don’t see where is the promise that they think women should be going to work when we are seeing all of these atrocities.”…

Oh Ayoubi, didn’t you get the memo from the western feminists?
Sex work IS work, dontcha know!
Don’t worry about work for women – there will certainly be plenty of it, be assured. It’s the KIND of work, the CHOICE of whether to do it, and whether there will be PAYMENT for it that you should be worried about.

Points:
1) Islam is so sick.
2) The Taliban are very devout, practicing Muslims.
3) The evil ideology which is Islam needs to end once and for all but this can only eventually occur if Islam is properly identified for the wickedness which it is. First things first.
4) Profoundly unfortunately, mankind still doesn’t have the collective balls to call out Islam for the malignancy that it so clearly is.
5) This madness will continue into the indefinite future.
6) Mankind is such a collective idiot often times.

I suspect the woman may have burned the meal on purpose. It was her way of giving them as little help as possible. It’s too bad she did not have some kind of poison to put in the food. The Afghans are going to have to fight the Taliban in every small way possible now even if it is just always cooking a bad meal for them. They may soon be begging the world to send them food supplies because they have driven their country into starvation. Maybe they can eat their poppies.

Not necessarily–many would be too scared to try something like that. And the Taliban is just looking for excuses to rape and murder women.

Pretty hard to defeat an enemy if you are too scared to make him angry. Perhaps the women of Afghanistan can see that the Taliban get very little exercise and as much to eat as possible and wait for them to die from heart disease. That appears to be the plan for now.

They already have all of the excuses that they need – contained in their “holy” texts…

And Biden and the Pope still think you can talk about this and everything will be just fine.

Everyone cooking for the Taliban should poison the savage animals, best way to eliminate Taliban cowards, invite them for a meal and poison them.
Fight evil with evil.

Few Muslims actually oppose the Taliban.
