  1. My goodness, what a shitty and sad life for women and man. Those taliban are sick in their head. Has nothing to do with Islam . A bunch of man who are power thirsty

  2. As a Hindu, I support female modesty & chastity and oppose female immodesty & unethical behaviour. But this is way too extreme to impose Burqa on all women. Instead, they should have allowed Afghan women to wear their traditional attire which is also modest.

  3. But the voice of Talibani women present in UK can't be suppressed by any Afghan law … wish women are empowered in all parts of world 😊

  4. The reaction to the Taliban's recent laws must be understood within the broader context of cultural diversity and the complexities of global norms. While these laws may seem oppressive through a Western lens, it’s important to recognize that they stem from a distinct cultural, historical, and religious framework that shapes Afghan society. A postmodernist perspective encourages us to avoid imposing our own values universally, as doing so can be an act of cultural imperialism that dismisses the lived realities of others.

    Instead of condemning these practices outright, we should seek to understand the underlying reasons for their existence within their specific context. Every culture has its own internal logic, and what might seem restrictive in one society could be viewed differently within another. This doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to human suffering but rather approaching it with a deeper sensitivity to the complexities at play. The challenge lies in balancing respect for cultural differences with the global discourse on human rights, acknowledging that there isn’t always a clear or singular path forward.

  5. Where are the Pro-Palestinian protesters crying out about this injustice?! I thought they would be up in arms denouncing this "apartheid"! Of course not, because it has nothing to do with Jews or Israel!

  6. Look how ignorant these people are. The Hasidic Jews and Amish lives a very strict religious rule worse than the Taliban and yet they are all okay with it.

  7. You occupied their country , destroyed their homes , destroyed their schools, their market , their hospitals , madalrasah, mosque and Universities (see wikileaks ) , and now you are crying about their women's freedom (again) ?! This is hipocrisy at an epic level.

    And when the Afghani arrived in your shore seeking asylum , you burn the hotel that house them ! Again , what kind of people are you ? Are you even human ?

  8. You kill their husbands and their children leaving them widowed and grieved for life during the occupation and now you blame Taliban's oppression ?! What a load of rubbish you are !

  9. And the EU is shamelessly giving refugee to these people in the name of humanity, I think France and Germany would be having an ISIS flag in their parliament by 2070
