A picture speaks a thousand words. Most Westerners would never witness the routine treatment of women under the Sharia, and in rare glimpses of videos when they see a small part of the abuse, it’s “shocking.” Westerners will only read about it sporadically in the media, with the story often framed to cover up the full extent of Sharia-based human rights abuses and the suffering of the victims. For instance, most reports (including the one below) about the treatment of women in Afghanistan state: “They are known for their extreme interpretation of the Sharia law.” It is not accurate to use the word “extreme” when a Sharia directive is explicit and clear. The Taliban apply the letter of the Sharia, which is based upon Hadiths and the Quran. Full coverings are a religious mandate in Islam, contrary the lack of knowledge about this that still prevails in the West due to many Muslims who say that it is not a religious requirement and reference it as “customary” or “cultural”:
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only what is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack desire, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And do not let them stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn to Allah together, O believers, so that you may succeed. (Qur’an 24:31)
If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be abused:
O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful. (Qur’an 33:59)
So the women captured in the video are being abused for not wearing burqas. Many women have gotten killed for much this reason, as is evident in Iran, where a revolution is now raging after the cruel beating death of Mahsa Amini for not wearing her head covering in a manner that satisfied the Islamic Republic.
“Horrifying moment Taliban bully whips female students for not wearing full burkas – video,” by Tom Watling, Express, October 31, 2022:
Shocking footage has shown the moment a Taliban official began whipping female students outside a university campus in northern Afghanistan for wearing what he deemed inappropriate headwear. As male students walk into the establishment, past the Talbian official, female students can be heard screaming as they are blocked from entering. The women, students at Badakhshan University in northeastern Afghanistan, said they were beaten by Taliban officials from the Ministry of Virtue and Vice for wearing hijabs, which are headscarves, instead of burkas, which cover the entire face and body.
In the footage, the Taliban official, dressed in military attire, can be seen furiously slashing at the crowds of young women as they attempt to enter the university.
The crowd then disperses in a panic as screams break out and the women try to avoid being hit.
As the dozens of women flee, the Taliban official returns to the entrance and suggests the crowds move elsewhere.
He then turns around to invite some male students into the building.
Under Taliban rule, women are not allowed in public unless they are wearing a niqab, which is a veil covering the head and face but not the eyes, or a burka.
The hijab, which is also a form of headwear in Islam, is not permitted by the Taliban.
They are known for their extreme interpretation of the Sharia law, which is Islam’s legal system based on the Quran and teachings from scholars, and such views often discriminate against women…..
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
I feel not only sad but tremendously angered by the inhumane treatment of women and girls by these knuckle dragging savage men who believe they have the absolute power over women.
The Taliban will eventually face the same music as the Iranian mullahs are currently facing and their reign of terror will come to an end.
GOOD ALWAYS TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL
somehistory says
The “ministry of vice”…yes. “ministry of virtue” absolutely not.
There is no “virtue” in islam. None. The claims of virtue and morality are all baseless lies straight from satan the devil. And lies are not the only “vice.” Rape, mutilation, murder, threats, back-stabbing, more lies and psychopathy. there is no value, no virtue, no good in islam and mozlums who practice this demon driven cult of destruction and death are deceiving themselves, but not those who know what they are all about.,
PRCS says
Qudos to the Iranians protesting forced ‘hijab’.
But, two points:
**As the Big Book mandates it, neither Iranian nor Afghan Muslim women have ‘the law’ on their side.
**Note to the so-called journalists covering the Iranian protests: this NOT an Iranian problem. It is an Islam problem.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Somehow, I doubt that Afghanistan will see the sort of rebellion that Iran is seeing
PRCS says
Nor do I.
That reporters aren’t connecting the dots is the point.
Walter Sieruk says
The misogynistic Taliban is based under the tyranny of the misogyny of Sharia, which gives females, both girls and women, very little to no basic human rights at all.
Therefore about Sharia law, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam with its Sharia Therefore Islam with its Sharia law are a hoax.
Walter Sieruk says
When 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 reads” 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.
James Lincoln says
The fake news regarding US border agents “whipping” migrants had gotten more press than actual whipping of female students by the Taliban.
Scotsman48 says
Well the ”new” Taliban did say that all women will be treated according to sharia and some western feminist thought that meant something other than what it actually means..
Who is surprised by this… Not me…
These ”men” are savages, plain and simple.
If muslim men demand that all women cover their entire bodies from head to toe so that the muslim men will not feel the need to rape them than I guess they are at least admitting they are all a bunch of rapists… according to sharia…
