No women are not all having acid thrown in their face, but there are some other take always you should acknowledge. Women are not allowed to attend school. This was reported by Al Jazeera, so it’s not just a MSM ploy as you have asserted.
The Taliban have already asserted today that 'women will have rights within Islamic law'.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-58219963Being as they are rebranding the country as "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" that isn't much of a surprise.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Emirate_of_AfghanistanBasically cover your head and do all the other dumb stuff Islamic women have to do and there's no problem.
Along with putting female newsreaders back on the news, offering everyone an amnesty and generally running the place sensibly. What is the problem?
It's much busier in the city than yesterday. There is much more traffic, a few more shops are open, and people are doing their usual jobs.
There have been no reports of violence in the city - no sound of gunfire or helicopters. I can hear a few military jets flying high over the city.
I can see the Taliban presence has increased. Fighters have come from different areas of Afghanistan, the majority of them from Logar province south of the capital. They say they are here to keep order.
The ones I have seen are behaving nicely with people. Sometimes they even ask if you are alright, or if you need help with anything.
I spoke with two street vendors in the centre on Tuesday. As poor Afghans, they said it didn't make any difference to them whether it was the Taliban or Americans in charge.
^ There's the quote you wanted. Poor Afghans don't care who is in charge. It makes no odds to them.
I’ve already given you an example of horrible acts that occur in Taliban Afghanistan. Just a couple of days ago, they admitted to killing a comedian for… reasons.
I'm not interested in your isolated incidents. US soldiers are forever getting called up on war crimes, rapes, murders, torture. Individuals are not the voice of the Taliban.
I never said they were terrorists. I said they were a totalitarian theocracy. Please try and rebut the points I have made.
Well that's just name calling. The US called them terrorists. Now you are calling them a totalitarian theocracy. You just walked away from the terrorist tag. I doubt you've any better evidence for the 'totalitarian theocracy' one.
You posted a BBC link with an embedded clip from the Afghani news outlet, Tolo News, and held that up as proof that women are not oppressed by the Taliban.
So my source was the BBC and not Afghani news. Thank you for clearing that up. I trust you are now satisfied I am not taking my queues from Afghani television. 🙄
