Women are the primary victims of the Sharia — from the requirement that they cover themselves fully (Qur’an 24:31, Qur’an 33:59), to wife-beating (Qur’an 4:34) and male guardianship, to their legal inferiority to men (Quran 2:282). Afghanistan under the Taliban is under a strict “Islamic Criminal Justice System” (Sharia), which includes stoning women for adultery. Despite the Taliban’s abusive treatment of women, which includes a ban on education for girls, Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada claimed “pure” intentions and claimed to be “striving for the freedom of entire humanity” in representing Allah, while accusing the West of representing “Satan.” Akhundzada’s words are reminiscent of Iran’s repeated references to America as the “great Satan” and like Iran, the Taliban has benefited materially from the Biden administration. In 2022, the administration committed $3.5 billion to the Taliban in the trust that it would be used for “humanitarian aid.”
The Taliban is now moving ahead to enforce Sharia, as its leader stated: “You may call it a violation of women’s rights when we publicly stone or flog them for committing adultery because they conflict with your democratic principles…Just as you claim to be striving for the freedom of entire humanity, so do I. I represent Allah.”
Akhundzada also declared, “in his harshest comments since taking over Kabul in August 2021”:
But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery. We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public.
No matter what jihadists and Islamic supremacists say or do, with full backup from their core religious texts, leftists don’t take them seriously or ignore them outright, while calling truth-tellers “Islamophobes.”
More on this story. “Taliban Chief Defends Islamic Criminal Justice System, Including Stoning Women for Adultery,” by Ayaz Gul, Voice of America, March 25, 2024:
ISLAMABAD —The leader of Afghanistan’s fundamentalist Taliban government has said it is determined to enforce the Islamic criminal justice system, including the public stoning of women for adultery.
“Our mission is to enforce sharia and Allah’s Hudud [law],” said Hibatullah Akhundzada in an audio clip Taliban officials said was from his latest speech. They did not say where the reclusive leader spoke, but Akhundzada lives in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar and rarely leaves what is known as the Taliban’s historical birthplace and political headquarters.
He primarily addressed Western critics of the Taliban government, which Akhundzada is effectively controlling from Kandahar, through edicts based on his strict interpretation of Islam.
“You may call it a violation of women’s rights when we publicly stone or flog them for committing adultery because they conflict with your democratic principles,” said the Taliban chief.
“Just as you claim to be striving for the freedom of entire humanity, so do I. I represent Allah, and you represent Satan,” Akhundzada said.
He criticized Western human rights values and women’s freedoms, saying Taliban religious scholars would persistently resist the West and its form of democracy in Afghanistan. “Thanks to these scholars, such a democracy was evicted from this land,” the Taliban leader said……

THE ISLAMIC NATIONS ( formerly known as UNITED NATIONS ) publicly announces it intends to flog and stone to death in public, FEMALES who commit adultery BUT it takes two to commit adultery, so why only women are to be flogged or stoned to death, WHY NOT the other person involved in the adultery. Does this confirm Islam IS a misogynist religion. AND what about the men who have young boys as sexual partners, usually age 6 upwards . Why is that allowed , the American Forces personnel in Afghanistan were ordered not to intervene and turn a blind eye when they saw mature men with young boys. And apparently in the Kandahar Province, 60 % of men have sexual relations with other males. No action taken.

Yes, well put. This regime / cult is seemingly becoming even more fixated, indoctrinated and depraved. And insane. They are both ‘allah’ and ‘allah’s army of monsters, without knowing it. Surely you can only undertake these barbaric acts if you yourself are extremely angry and miserable, and worse. Their ‘religion’ has failed them in allowing any natural happiness (but I guess that’s not ‘allah’s purpose anyway). And as misery likes company, they want others to pay the price for for their audacity in realizing some natural happiness whilst giving allah & Co. the ‘flick’.
Perhaps their cutting off of natural happiness, and deep seated hatred and jealously of the West, has turned them into sightless animals where natural happiness is substituted by bestial sexual craving (those poor targets) and some kind of perverse, twisted enjoyment in seeing others suffer terrible fates. Any sense of compassion or empathy seems to have completely left them. And as the previous comment states, the hypocrisy of it all.
I mean, they are killing their own kind. What kind of insanity have they reached, I wonder. Those poor females – I feel so sorry for them, draped in black and herded around like animals or a chain gang.
Of course, this is just my speculation, but surely they are monsters of their own making. Without their acted on threats, fear mongering and indoctrination surely nobody would want to join up with them. Well, to cover my comments, maybe they would!

This ghoulish son of the devil, calls out the “west” as working for satan. Many in the “west” are working for satan, just as this ghoul is. satan the devil has “great anger” and a “short time” to destroy what is left of decent mankind. And the snake has many willing workers among humankind doing his every desire.
This foul fiend has set himself up as judge and jury and executioner with the *approval* of his book of demon filth. He’ll not listen to any argument about ‘women’s rights’ because in islam, women have no rights. Just as little children have none.
Every word in their book of evil is contrary to God’s Loving Justice and the Laws He has given to His creation. And His “book” says, “As the one is sowing, so shall he reap.”
The ghouls in afghanistan, and everywhere else, will “reap as they are sowing.”

In Afghanistan, the Taliban detest the education of schoolgirls. This is a reflection of the religion of Islam, which is full of vicious and oppressive misogyny. For Islam has in essence, the anti –female vicious spirit. This is something that the apologists for Islam in the West would never be honest enough to admit is true.
The Taliban want the women trapped in Afghanistan to under the darkness tyranny and oppression of Sharia. Therefore, they ban them from receiving an education.
As Thomas Jefferson had, so wisely, declared “Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”
Ray Jarman says
Walter, excellent points.
I remember when I was in Kabul in 2002 several of the local ladies working at the Embassy would remove their burkas and brush their hair as soon as they entered the compound. I bet that those same ladies are placed in the same condition as before the US entered Afghanistan but due to the burkas, no one will see the tears in their eyes. The Afghan lady working in the Administrative office was extremely competent and almost always had a smile and now I am afraid of the outcome of her and many other men and women who worked at the Embassy. I hope that justice will be served to Biden in the Here After.

The brutal barbaric cruel vicious and even deadly misogyny of the Taliban is based Islam with its Sharia. Therefore the Taliban are very much, anti-female towards both girls and women.
A scholar of Islam who revealed the distributing horrible truth in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]

Taliban chief defends Islamic ‘freedom’ and ‘human rights’ as regime prepares to stone women for adultery
………………………………………..
This is how pious Muslims define “freedom”.
God, I hate Islam.
OLD GUY says
Islam the religion of hate and violence, is a CULT controlled and ruled by power and greedy MEN. Women are slaves and property under Islam to be used and discarded at will of the males. Islam treats it’s female population as badly or worse than slave owners treated black slaves 200 years ago. No ONE not even ISLAM should own another human being.
