Islamic apologists in the West often insist that Sharia applies to Muslims only. But in Sharia states, again and again we see that this is not true.
“Christian Women Forced to Wear Islamic Dress in Afghanistan,” International Christian Concern, January 8, 2024:
01/08/2024 Afghanistan (International Christian Concern) — The Taliban’s Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has cracked down on women who fail to observe the strict dress code, starting last week. Dozens of women have been arrested in the streets of Kabul and taken to unknown locations. The spokesperson for the Ministry referred to this as “bad hijab” and warned women they would continue tracking down those in violation of the rule.
This development comes on top of a multitude of restrictions Afghan women and girls are already facing, including restrictions on education, work, travel, and even healthcare. To be a Christian woman in Afghanistan would almost certainly bring a death sentence.
The brutal control of the Taliban has infiltrated every part of Afghan society, down to what its citizens can eat and drink, listen to, and even so far as to what they can wear. Several months after the terrorist group regained control of the country in August 2021, Taliban officials issued a decree outlining a strict Islamic dress code for women, allowing them only to reveal their eyes in public. Not only is this a grave infringement on the rights of women and girls, but it forces Afghan Christians and other religious minorities to adhere to the Taliban’s strict interpretation of Sharia law.
The U.S. State Department estimates that the Christian population ranges from 500-8,000 individuals in Afghanistan. As the Taliban reimplements strict laws from its earlier rule in the late 1990s, Christians have gone into hiding or have been forcibly displaced into neighboring countries….

I can’t say this with certainty, but I believe non-Muslim women are forced to veil themselves in Iran, too.

I always think when confronted with this shit, it is 2024 and you have women getting around dressed like that. What an embarrassment to the human race islam is. How anyone can think this is OK in 2024 is beyond me. I guess that if islam actually wins its war on the civilised, non-Muslims of the world, this sort of clothing will be imposed on everybody. And yet there are so many idiots around who support and respect islam. Human beings should be ashamed to belong to such a primitive load of crap as islam. islam is like looking way back in mankind’s history to the dark age of knuckle dragging primitives. islam should be banned because it stomps on so many basic human rights.

Of course Tim, we can only imagine the feminists bellowing like gutted cattle in outrage at the treatment of their sisters in these Islamic paradises.
Or are they way too busy whining that some bloke somewhere may or may not have used the wrong pronouns to describe someone with a mental illness?
tim gallagher says
yes, spot on, Keith O. It is amazing how hypocritical the feminist brigade are, that’s for sure. islam treats women so badly that the western feminists could spend their entire lives attacking it and trying to get some changes made, but they waste their time on trivia, such as all that getting the right pronoun bullshit, and other garbage, just as you say. Mostly they seem to be a waste of space and won’t take on truly misogynistic islam.
Wellington says
Control freaks are always annoying. And few if any ideologies or belief systems produce more control freaks in sheer numbers or per capita than does Islam. Therefore, per Aristotelian syllogistic reasoning, Muslims aplenty are annoying—certainly in Afghanistan or a country near you, even in your own country, unless the single most annoying religion of all time, i.e., Islam, is finally put in its place once and for all.
To date, however, Islam has not yet been put in its place. Damn. Should have happened by now but Buttlims aplenty and useful idiot dhimmis keep propping up Mo’s control-freak creed. Again, damn.

There are Christian women in Afghanistan? Or are they the Americans who were left behind when we pulled out the way we did? Incidentally, did all the Americans who were there finally get to leave, or is the bulk of them still there?
Mike says
There are some former Muslims there who have converted to the Christian religion. One of them, Abdul Rahman was almost executed for apostasy in the mid 2000s, but his lawyer pled that his client was insane, and Rahman went to Italy I understand. However, this was after the Taliban was ousted following 9/11, and before they retook power there.
Walter Sieruk says
The Taliban in Afghanistan must take a great deal of Islamic/sinister delight in showing the power of Islam over and upon the few Christian women by forcing them to wear the burka
That is the few Christian women still remain in that land after the Taliban tool over Afghanistan , ,”thanks ” to Joe Biden, as this article informs its reader that “To be a Christian woman in Afghanistan would almost certainly bring a death sentence.”
The Taliban would like to murder all Christians in that land they now have complete control of but because they want to be acknowledged international level as a genuine “state,” so ” they in their severe persecution haven’t murder them all.
Walter Sieruk says
Taliban with their Islamic misogyny wouldn’t care less who uncomfortable and in Summer how terrible unbearably hot the burka even for Muslim women , so how less do they care about how Christian feel under such sharia oppression.
As explained a by a scholar of Islam in her book which reveals that ‘Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic society.” then she further exposes the terrible truth that “Women in Islam are considered unclean , deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
