Recall the UN’s warning that Afghanistan women’s rights are a “red line.” That “red line” has been crossed repeatedly by the Taliban without any consequences from the UN. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council just “unanimously adopted a US-proposed resolution that facilitates humanitarian aid to Afghanistan,” which is said to be “on the verge of economic collapse.” Yet another empty promise was made, to keep “funds out of Taliban hands.” How can the UN or anyone possibly guarantee this, given that the Taliban rules Afghanistan? The Taliban will use Western donations to expand the scope of the Sharia and abuse its own citizens, especially women, with impunity.
As part of its war continued war on women, the Taliban also just implemented a “no travel for women” rule unless she’s accompanied by a male guardian. This practice is supported by the Quran:
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband’s property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allah is Ever Most High, Most Great. (Quran 4:34)
“Women Protesters Injured In Stampede After Taliban Militants Fire In The Air,” Radio Free Europe/Radio Azadi, December 28, 2021:
A number of Afghan women have been injured in a stampede caused by Taliban guards firing in the air during a protest in Kabul against discriminatory measures including new travel restrictions on women.
The protest on December 28 came amid rising anger — both within the country and internationally — over the Taliban’s moves to restrict the rights of women.
Participants told RFE/RL that up to 130 women attended the protest in Kabul, and shots fired in the air by Taliban militants trying to disperse the demonstration prompted fleeing protesters to fall and trample one another. Several women sustained injuries in the stampede, witnesses said.
It was not immediately clear how many women were injured in the incident.
Afghanistan’s Asvaka news agency reported that the incident occurred near the hospital of the Italian Emergency humanitarian organization. It gave no information on victims or wounded.
Reshmina, one of the protesters who suffered injuries while falling on a gas tank, told RFE/RL she was too scared to see a doctor for treatment.
“My face is injured so badly that even now when I speak with you, I am in much pain. We couldn’t even go to a doctor because we don’t feel safe, we are threatened. Even now, while speaking with you I am shaking [with fear].”….
Kepha says
Sorry, but I’m not feeling particularly chivalrous towards Muslim women. I remember those crowds of angry nuns screaming “Marg Bar Amrika!” in Tehran in 1979; and, as for their cousins in Kabul, they are probably made of the sadme cloth. If Western feminists are so concerned about their Afghan “sisters”, they can raise their own money, equip their own monstrous regiments of women, occupy the passes of the Hindu Kush, seize a few mullahs as hostages, and threaten to neuter everyone they catch with a beard longer than two inches unless their demands are met. Hell, no, I won’t go. If the Talebs shelter another terrorist group to pull another 9/11, nuke Kabul, Herat, Qandahar, Spin Buldak, Mazar-e-Sharif, and a few others, and call it a day. The country has said loudly and proudly that it intends to be its own authentic gateway to Hell for its own people and anyone else who comes near. Let them have it.

Yes, Muslim women are quite often as bad as the men, which should come as no surprise–they adhere to the same creed.
The idea that not wanting to be married off as children, beaten, and “Honor Killed” makes women “monstrous” is grotesque, though. (Yes, I realize the original reference was John Knox, in reference to female royalty. Mary Queen of Scots was indeed pretty bad, but Queen Elizabeth, soon to follow, would be one of Britian’s finest monarchs).
Infidel says
Pretty much agree w/ you. In fact, muslim women have been a driver of social jihads, such as enticement jihad, marriage jihad and so on. I was watching a video of a Hindu woman who managed to escape from a muslim marriage, and she said that the reason muslims are so successful in it is that their womenfolk acquiesce in their crimes, and enable them to entrap their infidel victims. As a result, muslimahs are as vile as muslims, and I have no illusions about them. They can stew in their own juices

Of course the anti-female brutal ruffians who make up the Taliban had ruthlessly and cruelly put down that women who were at that protest attempting to stand up for the nature human rights that they should have.
The Taliban putting a ban on woman in Afghanistan traveling more than 45 miles unless accompanied by a male relative would actually not so very terrible if that would be the limit to the harsh brutal and even murderous oppression the Taliban inflects Islamic misogyny of the women of Afghanistan.
Sadly and tragically, this is not the case. For the lying Taliban will, would and did break their promise of respecting women’s rights. There is no doubt that they ever intended to keep that promise they had made.
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.

Walter, this ban on women travelling on their own means that many women cannot travel to see relatives, to attend school, or to leave the country. And this 45 mile limit is likely just a first step–under the Taliban twenty years ago women could not step foot outside the home without a “Mehram”, and many women were imprisoned as a result.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s natural of the Taliban to enact such a ban of women that limits how far they can travel without a male relative o husband. If fact that a very mild Islamic restriction for them.
For the brutal cruel and murderous Taliban will rule all the land that they reconquer in Afghanistan by the tyranny of Sharia law 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. Therefore Islam with its Sharia law are a hoax.

…………….
Yes–this from the UN was just embarrassing. Of course the bloody Taliban is going to continue to terrorize women.
