Social Media Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 In a chilling declaration that has sent shockwaves through Afghanistan and beyond, the Taliban's Supreme Leader, Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, has announced plans to institute brutal public punishments for women, including stoning them to death. In a voice message aired on state television over the weekend, Akhundzada defiantly addressed Western officials, dismissing their concerns about human rights violations and vowing to uphold their harsh interpretation of Islamic Sharia law. Akhundzada's ominous words mark a stark escalation in the Taliban's repressive regime since seizing control of Kabul in August 2021. Despite promises of moderation, the Taliban has swiftly reverted to draconian measures reminiscent of their oppressive rule in the late 1990s, including public executions and floggings. Now, with Akhundzada's vow to implement medieval punishments like stoning, fears for the safety and rights of Afghan women have intensified. The Taliban's justification for such barbaric practices lies in their interpretation of Sharia law, which they argue supersedes any notions of Western democracy or human rights. Akhundzada dismisses the international community's advocacy for women's rights as contrary to Sharia and the clerics' beliefs, framing the Taliban's brutal crackdown as a righteous defense against Western influence. The repercussions of Akhundzada's decree are already being felt by Afghan women, who describe living in a state of perpetual fear and oppression. With each passing day, the Taliban tightens its grip on women's freedoms, imposing ever more restrictive rules and stripping away their autonomy. Many Afghan women feel as though they are trapped in a suffocating prison, with the Taliban relentlessly tightening its grasp. The international community has condemned the Taliban's flagrant disregard for human rights, with calls for increased pressure on the regime to halt its brutal campaign against women. However, as Akhundzada defiantly asserts his commitment to imposing Sharia law, the plight of Afghan women grows more dire by the day. In the face of such cruelty and oppression, the resilience of Afghan women shines through. Despite the Taliban's attempts to silence them, women like Tala refuse to be silenced, speaking out against the injustice and calling for solidarity from the global community. As the world watches in horror, the fate of Afghan women hangs in the balance, their future uncertain in the wake of the Taliban's brutal resurgence. 29.03.24 Source 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 Taliban Supreme Leader, Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada is a tiny man, a man with no sense of humanity, a man completely lacking in dignity, morality or any sense of spirituality. This is a man who is not only not a religious man this is a man who has no concept of what spirituality looks like, and if there is a creator, he does not even know this idiots first name. A pox on his house. 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfd101 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 A nice example of how mediaeval barbarism outlasts fitful Western attempts to bring modernity and freedom ... Though of course it was (at least in part) the Soviet invasion of late 1979 that set off the current round of endless horrors. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could say that, in order to counteract the Soviet attempt to take over Afghanistan, it was the US that encouraged and supported the Taliban movement initially. Making a mess not unlike their initial support for Saddam in Iraq. But we can agree that let to itself, without Soviet or US interference, Afgahnistan would probably be a much happier country today. I still remember talking to an Afghan refugee lady in the late 80's who had tears in her eyes describing how beautiful her home country was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British gave up on Afghanistan long ago, as did the Russians, the Americans, and the UN, not necessarily once or in that order. A complete reboot is necessary, but will never happen. Too much money to be made supplying weapons. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they have been fighting each other for the last 100 years with various interventions from neighbours and the west so I am not sure how beautiful that era would have been! Probably better than the status quo but who knows, nearly every leader in the last 100 years was either killed or overthrown so Afghanistan and turmoil seem to go hand in hand!

Popular Post CG1 Blue Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 2 hours ago, digger70 said: Well now it's about time that the rest of the world steps in and Eradicate those Islam Sharia law Followers and their interpretation of the Quran . b Will Muslims outnumber Christians? Christianity has long been the world's largest religion by far, but the population of Muslims is growing so fast that they will match Christians by the year 2070 and outnumber them by the end of the century, according to a report released Thursday that projects the global religious future. But it wouldn't just be Christians against the Muslims in this imaginary fist fight. Sikhs and Hindus are not fans of the 'religion of peace'. And don't forget the atheists. Mind you, the wokes would be on the Muslims' side, and there's quite a few of them... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanaguma Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 39 minutes ago, spidermike007 said: For these extreme goombahs and criminals Sharia law is simply an excuse to rob, kill and rape at will. Their primary recruiting tactic is come and join us, have any woman you want against her will, steal anything you want, and kill anybody you want. Isn't that a teenagers dream? And lets stone a woman to death for having some fun, yeah we have total immunity for mass rape. This is religious justice? This has nothing to do with religion, this is a hijacking of a faith, and this is sewer life. The life of reptiles. I think you are wrong, and making one of the fundamental mistakes that secular people make when dealing with religious zealots. They truly DO believe in what they are doing. It isn't an excuse for anything, or a means to an end. They believe. And to try to apply western political/economic motives to their actions is a cardinal error. Your solution is correct though. Just kill them. They can't be reasoned with, or negotiated with, or re-educated to believe 'correct' values. Send them to meet the afterlife. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well frankly I think you're oversimplifying the issue, certainly a percentage of them do believe that there is a twisted truth to what they're doing, but I think there are an awful lot of recruits that just simply want that license to steal, rape, maim and murder, and this is exactly what that is. It's it's a total free pass to wreak carnage on humanity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eumenades Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Having lived three years in Saudi Arabia, I can see no solution to this kind of barbarism. Unfortunately, the only solution is western armament. So, does that make me as bad as they are? Maybe, but at least Western technology, with experienced strategy, might eventually override and outdate medievalist extremism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Conservatives are obsessed with going backwards in time. Each has their own quest for how far back they want to go. I used to work with this old Pakistani guy (how old? he was in the British Indian Army in WWII). He liked to tell how Nasser (first president of post-colonial Egypt) handled the fundamentalists: he put all the mullahs on a boat, then sank it. He always laughed when he told it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
