Nothing else can be expected under strict Islamic law. The Taliban has also been going door to door raping women at will, taking them as sex slaves, forcibly marrying girls as young as 12, and murdering women who are not covered as prescribed in the Quran (24:31, 33:59).
Abuses against women are taking place amid media coverage about how the Taliban has promised a kinder face and rights for women.
Gulafroz Ebtekar made it out alive after her brutal beating. Under Islamic law, she was a prime target, since she was uncovered, and was a well-known, educated woman who was deemed to be a role model for girls and women in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, woke feminists in the West have abandoned oppressed Muslim women, going so far as to tout Islamic coverings for women as “cultural” and celebrating them, when it is actually an overt symbol of female oppression.
“So-called Taliban 2.0 reveals its true colors: Afghanistan’s top female cop, 34, goes on the run after ‘brutal beating’ at the hands of new rulers”, by Chris Pleasance and William Cole, MailOnline, August 31, 2021:
A top Afghan female cop is on the run after suffering a ‘brutal beating’ from the Taliban in the latest evidence that the Islamists’ harsh rule has returned.
Gulafroz Ebtekar, believed to be 34, was a deputy head of criminal investigations in Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry and is seen as a role model for Afghan women with a notable media presence.
She was singled out by the Taliban as a target at the gates outside Hamid Karzai international airport in Kabul, where she spent five nights attempting to secure a place on an evacuation flight.
She said: I sent messages to the embassies of many countries to save myself and my family, but all to no avail.’
It comes as Taliban soldiers held mock funerals for Western forces on Tuesday to celebrate the final withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan after 20 years of war.
Gulafroz, the first woman in Afghanistan to graduate from a police academy with a master’s degree, told how in the Kabul chaos she found US soldiers and believed they were helping her to fly abroad with her boyfriend and family members.
‘We got to the refugee camp where the Americans were stationed,’ she said.
‘When the American soldiers were already near, I exhaled, I thought we were finally safe.
‘I speak a little English. I explained that it was not safe for us to remain in Kabul. They checked our documents. I had my ID, passport, and police certificates with me.
‘We were asked: ‘Where do you want to go?’ I replied: ‘It doesn’t matter, to a safe country where there is a chance we may survive’.
‘They looked at me and answered quite impudently: ‘Okay’. And they asked one soldier to show us the way. I thought they would escort us to a plane or provide security.’
They first escorted her to a crowded street where there was a terrorist attack, she said.
‘We did not want to leave, then the soldier raised his weapon: ‘Get out of here’. So we went out onto the road. At that moment, I didn’t want to live anymore.’
Gulafroz had studied for a masters degree at a top police academy in Russia, but the Moscow embassy also declined to help, because she didn’t have a Russian passport or residency.
She told the newspaper: ‘I had dreamed of changing life in Afghanistan. First, when it comes to women in the police. And I did it.
‘When I returned to my homeland, I got a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and soon got a rather high position.
‘I became Deputy Chief for Criminal Investigations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Afghanistan.’
After being turned away from the airport, she went home to be told by her mother that the Taliban had come for her while she was out.
She moved to the first of three flats she has used to try and stay out of the hands of the militants.
When she tried to escape to Kabul airport again, the Taliban guards beat her with ‘weapons and stones’……
Infidel says
So what does she think about islam? Is she a believing muslim, as opposed to a MINO?

This is an example of why the US and NATO should have maintained as stabilizing presence in Afghastlistan. The conflict with the Taliban had been reduced to seasonal fighting between the Afghan army and the Talibans with US soldiers playing very little direct action. No American soldier had been killed in Afghastlistan in the previous 2 years.
Eventually, the persecution of Afghans and the promotion of terrorism in the country will reach a crescendo and NATO will have to return. The next invasion by NATO will come at no later than two years, but more likely within one year. The Taliban should not be permitted to consolidate and start promoting international terrorism again … that is their determined goal.
The Taliban cannot be trusted to promote either human rights or world peace. They must be completely crushed so they will not come back.
Phil Copson says
“… The next invasion by NATO will come at no later than two years, but more likely within one year….”
————————————————————————————————————
What “NATO” would that be ? No European govt is going to be mad enough to send troops on any mission devised by the treacherous Beijing Biden and his pantomime troupe of anti-American Left-wing Generals.
The Deep State devised this unconditional surrender in order to terminate America as the guarantor of global stability, and concentrate on imposing socialist rule at home.
Giving up Bagram airbase, turning the Taliban from a local terrorist group into a well-equipped international terrorist army, and the ostentatious refusal by the US Army to carry out the simple task of sending patrols into Kabul to escort American citizens and US allies to the airport, is intended to spell out very clearly to the world that on no account should the people of Iran, North Korea, Israel, the Ukraine, the Christian populations of Africa etc, consider looking to America for support.
Even if the excellent Donald Trump – (preferably with Pompeo as VP) – is returned to office in 2024, opposition to involvement in military expeditions combined with renewed Trump Derangement Syndrome amongst the chattering classes, will probably make re-taking Afghanistan – or anywhere – politically impossible, even if the will existed.
By 2024, China will be well-established in Afghanistan, and it’s highly doubtful that any US administration will have the nerve to move in and face either the Red Army or another 20 year engagement.
As Lennie Kravitz pointed out: “You won’t like what comes after America.”
In two years time, let’s see which of us is right…..
GenEarly says
I concur with your view. We are liable to have CW in the USSA before 2024. Afghanistan may as well be on the moon, the US is Done there.

Mortimer, you have never said why yet more westerners should die for the Afghans, most of whom actually prefer the Taliban to freedom and democracy.

Joe Biden caused this. The white-haired Ghost in the White House hasn’t the mental acuity nor the intelligence to make any important decision. Americans should get him out of office before he causes his next debacle which will come much sooner than they imagine.
Westman says
“Gulafroz Ebtekar made it out alive after her brutal beating…” Why can’t I find any account that she is not still trapped in Afghanistan?
It seems that hairy knuckle-dragging primevals have again brutally butted their way to the top of the Quran-approved spoils + sex hill. Tis a Taliban fancy, king of the hill, Lord of his own harem, booty-jizya galore arrayed in splendor – airplanes, vehicles, guns.
Of course, in a year much of the booty will be non-functioning rust, unable to be maintained by men who are basically destroyers, not creators.
A Muslim woman’s lack of control over her life and booty-Jizya are the twin Achilles Heels of Islam that hold it back from progress. It’s an old boys club with women as servants, breeding stock, and asset accumulation by force. Muslim men are hugging men more than they are hugging women.
No Taliban wants women to be equal, have an education, or have control of their bodies. Unlike their name – Talib means student – these guys learn nothing beyond the Quran and can’t envision a better future when women are equals. The Taiban are locked in permanent adolescence.
Fitna says
That’s why the only solution for these Taliban cockroaches and those who hold the same views is complete eradication-just like we did with the Nazis.
Too bad we have crap leaders like Biden in power who surrendered on behalf of the most powerful military in the world to a handful of filthy low IQ savages who hold the worst values/morals on the planet.
That was his real test as a CiC and he failed horribly, he couldn’t even execute an orderly withdrawal.
Frankly what Biden did was real treason by leaving behind $85 bln in military hardware, by sending the Taliban money and by not saving the lives of US citizens, he deserves worse than impeachment.
Wellington says
I don’t dispute anything you contend, Fitna, but I would like to add to your comment that as low an IQ as the Taliban in the aggregate have, Biden’s is arguably even lower—and even before he came down with dementia.
As I have known for decades (living in PA all my life right next to DE it was deuce difficult not to know), overestimating Biden is a big mistake. There is even less there underneath than the little that is there up front. He’s always been a nothing but a nothing with ambition—and now he is a nothing with dementia.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
100% true regarding Biden.
He was always a “dim bulb”, but has now evolved into a demented sociopath.
And he was fraudulently installed as POTUS.
What else could possibly go wrong?
Fitna says
Agreed Wellington, arguably Biden’s the worst president the US has ever had, right next to Dhimmi Carter and Hussein Obama.
So long as this senile old bastard stays in power I expect that the enemies of the West will continue to profit, especially Muslims.
If Biden allows Iran to get nukes, and he will, then there’s a very good possibility they will use them against the US and Israel resulting in the deaths of millions and triggering a nuclear war.
Elections have real consequences. Choosing bad leaders leads to tragic outcomes. The Right needs to step up and remove him from office to reduce the damage or we’re headed for a dark future.
The only hope is for Israel to stop Iran but that is looking unlikely as Bennett is not brave enough to oppose Biden.
Ed says
Pretty doggone accurate. And we have to remember, a majority of Muslims around the globe buy into this backwards religion.
Walter Sieruk says
The Taliban and cruelly anti-female too the most hideous and murderous extent. They might at times attempt to hide that fact by “double-speaking” to the Western press but that’s only dishonest way of talk to cover up their vicious and malicious misogyny.
For example ,a Taliban spokesman in referring to the question of the basic human rights of females, both girls and women, he declared” We guarantee all their rights within the limits of Islam.”
All aware people who understand Islam know that the last four words of that statement has an obvious meaning.
Which is that with Islam the rights of females are very limited. As in within the Islamic view, they have little to no rights at all. .
As this has been so well explained by Brigitte Gabriel in her book, entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED in Chapter 9 of the title “Islam’s Contempt for Women” which informs its reader on page 171 “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.”
In addition, on the next page it further exposes that “the degradation of women even in moderate Islamic countries ,women’s rights are almost nonexistent.” Her book further reveals that ” Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”
The tragic and sad reality is that Islam is a religion of brutal, cruel, harsh and even, at times, murderous misogyny.

Afghanistan: Policewoman on the run after ‘brutal beating’ from the Taliban
……………..
Horrifying–but no one should be surprised.
OLD GUY says
Islam is a hold over of the stone ages and cave man. What a disgrace to modern mankind, these murdering rapist are not men they are animals and need to be destroyed. No more mosque’s, no more call to prayer, no more islam.
David M says
The Taliban came into the house of another pregnant police woman & shot her dead after she had protested against them earlier in the day.
