The Left Stream Media have put all their resources into whitewashing the brutalities of the Taliban and giving them an image makeover, perhaps to make them acceptable to the modern world and win these mountain savages a seat at the United Nations. This from frontpagemag.com.
Presented in this article is the image of a Taliban 2.0 with the exact same mindset as the Taliban that had wreaked havoc in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.
However, remember the Muslim group did promise to honor women’s rights, with the caveat that Sharia law will be adhered to. “The rights of women will be under the Sharia law,” affirmed Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, during their first press conference since conquering Kabul.
But, since the start of Taliban 2.0, Taliban jihadis were going door-to-door hunting down girls as young as twelve years old, to take them as sex slaves, at least one woman was lashed for wearing revealing slippers, and another burka-clad woman was shot dead for not covering her face thoroughly enough.
And as was practiced by Taliban 1.0, from 1996 to 2001, the following are the rights granted to women by this esteemed Islamic law:
Women were not allowed to walk out of their homes without a burqa covering every inch of their skin, including their feet, hands and face. Most women during that period opted for the shuttlecock burqa that covered them from head to toe; there was a little gap for the eyes, but with a net or mesh covering the gap so that their eyes couldn’t be seen. It was mandatory for every woman to be accompanied by a male family member – a blood relative – while she was out on the street.
No man should be able to hear the footsteps of a woman, hence, high heels or any kind of footwear that produced a sound while walking were banned from use by women.
A woman’s voice must not reach the ears of a man who is not related to her. Hence she must watch the level of sound she was producing while talking. Would it be “Islamophobia” if we said that the Taliban had perfected the textbook version of silencing a woman?
Again, as women were prohibited from being viewed by men who were not related to her by blood, it was mandatory that the windows of all ground floors be painted in a dark tint, covered, or shut at all times, just in case a woman passed by and became visible to a man in the ground floor.
Also, women were barred from standing at the balconies of their houses, as that could allow men on the streets or male neighbors to catch a glimpse of them.
The word “woman” was removed from all public places or names of public places.
Women were precluded from having their pictures taken or being filmed. No images of women could be printed on the pages of books or newspapers, or kept at stores or in homes.
Similarly, women were not allowed to be in movies or on television, or to work at radio stations. They were forbidden from forming groups outdoors or holding public gatherings.
Women have never been allowed to work in offices under the Taliban. They cannot work as journalists, bankers, teachers, nurses, doctors or hold administrative positions, as these jobs would land them amidst male colleagues who are not related to them. Office jobs held by women were subsequently passed on to their male family members.
Little girls were banned from going to school. Numerous schools imparting education to girls have been bombed or burned down by the Taliban, not only in Afghanistan, but in several countries where they have gained the slightest foothold.
Note:
Women who flouted any of the above commandments were subjected to harsh, undreamed-of and ruthless punishments by the religious police.
No woman under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan ever enjoyed the basic human right of speaking her mind or dressing as she liked.
They could be stoned to death, mutilated, or given hundreds of lashes with a meter-long metal lash. Many of these women perished in the midst of receiving their penalty.
Afghanistan in 1996 witnessed a young woman’s finger being chopped off by the Taliban; she had dared to paint her nails.
A woman named Bibi Aisha was forced into a nightmarish marriage as a trade-off to settle a family dispute. When she tried to escape the violent and abusive marriage, the Taliban, to shame her for her act of disobedience and to set a warning example for the other young women in the community, severed her nose and ears.
Joe Biden, you and your damned terrorist democrat communist handlers are the cause of the unleashing of this Taliban 2.0. You people are simply evil for what you have done. And the LSM, to try to cover-up this terrible blunder, are absolute ignoramuses living in denial. The Taliban are not to be trusted–the women and girls of Afghanistan are doomed.
