Conventional media have put all their resources into whitewashing the brutalities of the Taliban and giving them an image makeover, so as to make them acceptable to the modern world and perhaps win these mountain savages a seat at the United Nations. They tell us that Taliban 2.0 is a whole different entity and is not comparable to the Taliban that had wreaked havoc in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. After all, the Muslim group has promised to honor women rights and allow them to continue to work as usual. Little girls could receive education as well.
We are a little confused by the Taliban’s commitment to permitting girls to go to school, because quite recently, Taliban jihadis were going door-to-door hunting down girls as young as twelve years old, to take them as sex slaves. We have learned of a woman being lashed for wearing revealing slippers and another burka-clad woman being shot dead for not covering her face enough. And these atrocities have happened under the rule of the moderate, women’s-rights-acknowledging Taliban 2.0.
Leaders of the Muslim outfit have clarified their views on women’s rights in the country: “The rights of women will be under the Sharia law,” affirmed Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, during their first press conference since conquering Kabul.
And what are the rights granted to women by this esteemed Islamic law? Let’s look at the “rights” Afghan women enjoyed during Taliban 1.0 from 1996 to 2001; or shall we call them impositions?
Women were not allowed to walk out of their homes without a burqa covering every inch of their skin, including their feet, hands and face. Most women during that period opted for the shuttlecock burqa that covered them from head to toe; there was a little gap for the eyes, but with a net or mesh covering the gap so that their eyes couldn’t be seen. It was mandatory for every woman to be accompanied by a male family member – a blood relative – while she was out on the street.
No man should be able to hear the footsteps of a woman, hence, high heels or any kind of footwear that produced a sound while walking were banned from use by women.
A woman’s voice must not reach the ears of a man who is not related to her. Hence she must watch the level of sound she was producing while talking. Would it be “Islamophobia” if we said that the Taliban had perfected the textbook version of silencing a woman?
Again, as women were prohibited from being viewed by men who were not related to her by blood, it was mandatory that the windows of all ground floors be painted in a dark tint, covered, or shut at all times, just in case a woman passed by and became visible to a man in the ground floor.
Also, women were barred from standing at the balconies of their houses, as that could allow men on the streets or male neighbors to catch a glimpse of them.
The word “woman” was removed from all public places or names of public places.
Women were precluded from having their pictures taken or being filmed. No images of women could be printed on the pages of books or newspapers, or kept at stores or in homes.
It goes without saying that women were not allowed to be in movies or on television, or to work at radio stations. They were forbidden from forming groups outdoors or holding public gatherings.
Women have never been allowed to work in offices under the Taliban. They cannot work as journalists, bankers, teachers, nurses, doctors or hold administrative positions, as these jobs would land them amidst male colleagues who are not related to them. Office jobs held by women were subsequently passed on to their male family members.
Little girls were banned from going to school. Numerous schools imparting education to girls have been bombed or burned down by the Taliban, not only in Afghanistan, but in several countries where they have gained the slightest foothold.
No woman under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan ever enjoyed the basic human right of speaking her mind or dressing as she liked. Women who flouted any of the above commandments were subjected to harsh, undreamed-of and ruthless punishments by the religious police. They could be stoned to death, mutilated, or given hundreds of lashes with a meter-long metal lash. Many of these women perished in the midst of receiving their penalty.
Afghanistan in 1996 witnessed a young woman’s finger being chopped off by the Taliban; she had dared to paint her nails. A woman named Bibi Aisha was forced into a nightmarish marriage as a trade-off to settle a family dispute. When she tried to escape the violent and abusive marriage, the Taliban, to shame her for her act of disobedience and to set a warning example for the other young women in the community, severed her nose and ears.
One must be an absolute ignoramus living in denial to even begin to trust that the Taliban will leave the Afghan women alone this time.

Also out: Taliban troops indulging in necrophilia i.e. raping dead women

john smith says
Muhammad had sex with his dead aunt while she was lying in her grave, so it comes as no surprise that the taliban indulge in such perverse activities
faraway says
This is allowed under sharia (as long as the body is still warm!!) so the taliban are showing their devotion to islam.
Emilie Green says
Remember this oldie but goodie, It’s in the Koran song,
https://markhumphrys.com/in.the.koran.html
(scroll to bottom of page)
So don’t look for mercy
When you’re at our feet
The justice we’ll give you
Is harsh and complete
We danced in delight
When your Twin Towers fell
And you’ll weep with your slaughtered
As you burn with them in Hell
Because it’s in the Koran,
It’s written in the Koran
Your fate was settled long before
This latest battle began
We’ve found our holy purpose
And we’ll never abandon it
As long as there’s a sinner to behead ..
In other words we won’t rest
Till everyone in the West
Is a slave, a Muslim or dead
john smith says
Thanks for the koran song Emilie, I didn’t know of it.

There’s also the English translation of the muslim call to terror (prayer). Oddly, the tune itself has been used by the Oscar Meyer Company to sell their bologna.
Our moon god has a first name,
it’s a-l-l-a-h.
Our moon god has no second name,
it’s A-L-L-A-H.
Oh we kill kafir most every day,
and if you ask to whom we prayyyyyyyyyyyyy………
To kill kafir is a-o-k,
says a-l-l-a-h, oy vey.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
“There will be blood.” I wonder if future women’s rights marches in the West will invite Linda “the cockroach” Sarsour to speak at their rallies? She can further expound on the virtues of Islam as it pertains to advancing women’s rights. After all, it was Islam that first promoted women’s rights. For instance, the right to be a prisoner in her own home and the right to be shrouded in a bag.
James Sang says
I liked this article because it tells in detail how the Taliban treat their women and probably how all Muslims are expected to treat their women!
Crusades Were Right says
[shuttlecock burqa]
Don’t think I’ve heard it called that before, but it certainly fits the bill!
Seen quite a few of those things in the town where I live…
… in a Western European country.
Kinda disturbing to know that Taliban-approved costume is being (voluntarily?) worn in the western world!
I suppose what they say must be true: “You can’t stop progress.” lol
Walter Sieruk says
The Taliban with their enactment of rule by Sharia law is and will continue to a brutal oppressive unfair and despicable tyranny of vicious misogyny..
This is because sharia law is based on Islam and Islam is a religion of horrendously horrible savage ant-female malice, against both girls and women.
This is the terrible reality about the harsh and hideous misogynistic establishment of Sharia law , in spite on the strong lying denial of that awful truth by Muslim propagandists to naive and uninformed Westerners.
Furthermore ,the scholar on in her book THEY MUST BE STOPPED .For in chapter nine ofthe heading Islam’s contempt for women” she reveals on page 171 “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.”
On the very next page she further exposes that “Women in Islam are considered unclean deemed inferior even to dirt.”
tim gallagher says
Just the photo sens chills down any civilised person’s spine. 2021 and these subhuman knuckle dragging Taliban maggots, and plenty of other Muslims, think women have to dress like this. Muslim women are completely obliterated as human beings. How any bunch of people can have remained so primitive and backward for so many centuries, as non-Muslim people have continually made progress, is beyond belief. And how any non-Muslim can actually defend this type of crap beggars belief. All Muslims should be ashamed to belong to a religious ideology that is so staggeringly primitive and backward.
Christopher Watson says
Unfortunately, our leaders invite them into our advanced civilisations without any thought as to their primitive culture. Our ways of life are changing; they are already changing our laws. We, British, can be sent to prison for almost anything said about Islam. Few of their women speak English and many of their teenage girls are killed if they do not conform to their Islamic way of life. To say we should ‘send them back’ is not realistic. Few of our leaders seem to understand what they are subjecting us to. Very few of them, if any, live anywhere near moslem immigrants. Their only experience of moslems Is reading 1001 Nights as children. Listening to some members of the House of Lords one must ask: what planet are they living on?
Now we are importing thousands of ‘interpreters’ into America and Britain. They may have done sterling work in Afghanistan, but most have not been vetted. Their politics may be acceptable, but their ‘culture’ may not. How many of them will kill their daughters a few years hence because those daughters would not wear a burkha?
Over the past decade many details of the Islamic view of females have been made public. Most, if not all, of those details are horrific. Women are used as baby producers and cooks; most are mis-treated. Neither the police nor Social Services will investigate these cases because of ‘respect’. When will we, Europeans and Americans say: these Islamic rules about women are not only disrespectful but downright stupid? Yet most Europeans and Americans have no idea of these details. They are blindly following the views of their governments.

Taliban’s regulations for women will send chills down your spine
…………..
I knew of all these horrors, which doesn’t make any of them any more palatable.
OLD GUY says
These muslim/islamic men are some sick dudes, having sex with dead women, can’t get much lower on the food chain. What surprises me is the number of supposed civilized business and political leaders are willing to do business with these animals.
