The decree says women can only show their eyes if they have to venture outside. The Taliban has also been closing down women’s schools.
GatewayPundit (h/t Nita) NPR reported: Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers on Saturday ordered all Afghan women to wear head-to-toe clothing in public — a sharp, hard-line pivot that confirmed the worst fears of rights activists and was bound to further complicate Taliban dealings with an already distrustful international community.
The decree, which calls for women to only show their eyes and recommends they wear the head-to-toe burqa, evoked similar restrictions on women during the Taliban’s previous rule between 1996 and 2001.
“We want our sisters to live with dignity and safety,” said Khalid Hanafi, acting minister for the Taliban’s vice and virtue ministry.

Who cares? That’s the Islami they love.

You know Bonnie, these women could hide firearms beneath those robes, but they refuse to fight. Someone else has to do it for them. Going to Afganistan was a waste of time and resources and always will be.
BareNakedIslam says
Going there wasn’t. Staying there for 20 years was.

Do all male muslims have their brains caught in their zippers?
Steve S says
And only politicians are surprised by this! It just goes to show how stupid politicians actually are. And they really think they are all that smart?
Well, we who are familiar with Islamic fundamentalism weren’t. New and improved Taliban is the same old Taliban. We could have told you that a long time ago.
Fear The Legion says
@Steve S…..SIR, you are so right. I truly hate politicans, they are the epitome of stupidity. They are always shocked and moritifed that outcomes are never what they expected.

Question : If muslim men demand that women cover up their entire bodies because it will cause muslim men to feel the strong need to rape them, does that mean muslim men are admitting they are indeed a bunch of rapists?…
If I tell a muslim fellow that I think his religion seems very violent and he then turns around and attacks me very violently for saying this… Is he being a good wee muslim fellow by doing so…
Inquiring minds want to know….

Taliban gets $80 billion dollars of US military equipment because of Joe Biden….
Biden and his ruthless regime ADORE the Taliban savages and gave them lots of gifts….
US rulers HATE women and children and will be DELIGHTED that their Taliban partners are persecuting women.

Borrow a Neutron bomb from Israel and drop it on Afghanistan. There are no innocent lives to be lost there !
Sheikh_Anvakh says
Firstly, you can’t “borrow” a bomb. Secondly, assuming they had one, the Israelis wouldn’t hand one over. Time to admit that you cannot cure murderous stupid and leave to their own savagery.
BareNakedIslam says
Israel DOES have neutron bombs.

Wow, we are all so surprised.
