  1. I feel really sorry about afghanistan. It’s like things are moving backwards over there and at some point they’ll see themselves living in the stone age.

  2. Tbh while i feel bad, i kinda also dont care either.

    We spent billions of dollars, thousands of soldiers dead, and 20 years just for these people to revert back to their ways in a matter of weeks.

    Some places cannot be or dont want to be fixed.

  5. How does a society like this reproduce and or even progress/innovative in ways to advance the society in general ?

  8. This is the problem with religion.
    Theory: Community, love, sharing, support
    Practice: Money, Power, Division, Control

  10. Well if a wife or a daughter dies theycab replace them with a newer wife. Even outside of the Taliban a womans life is not worth it. If the husband gets ill the wife often sells her own organs to safe her husbands life( or it its expected of her) If the wife gets ill, the husband is already looking for a new wife even before his wife dies

  11. If I were a women in Afghanistan I would chose death over sexual slavery

  12. As a white western medic traveling in an islamic state, I was warned NOT to administer first aid to any Muslim girl/woman even in an emergency situation. Was told I need the husband/father/brother’s permission to touch a female Muslim, which they would not give, letting them die rather than me providing help..

    Now I’m an accepting kinda guy and tolerant of most things, but this blew my mind. Thankfully I was not tested in this way, but it would be very difficult to just let somebody die when I could have made efforts to save their life. It’s mind boggling..

  14. Allah forbid you are pulling a half-dead female out of the rubble, and the next thing you know, you are fucking like bunnies. It happens.

  15. I hope the ppl from all over the world stop sending any sort of aide to that country. It’ll just empower talibani men. Imagine what can happen if the no. of women in that country drastically reduces due to lack of medical attn and widespread abuse. It’ll have widespread international impact

  16. Why is there a lack of reporting from other islamic nations condemning this? You’d think there would be more outrage from them for this barbarism.

  17. At this point they need to just say “hey women we hate you and want you to die” that would be leagues better than all the pussyfooting around the bush and the “we just care about you and want to protect you” bullshit. At least call it what it fucking is. Absolute scum.

  18. Remember that Germany travel influencer who went to Afghanistan and told about how fabulously she was treated. Or that British one told us about much we had wrong about the lives of women in Afghanistan? This is what you were protecting with that propaganda. I hope you enjoy your 30 pieces of silver. 

  19. Another example of why Religions should Never Run a country. Beyond ridiculous, what do they think will happen?

  20. >This rule makes the situation even more dire in the absence of female rescue workers, a consequence of the Taliban’s ban on women’s enrollment in medical education and other public roles.

    Great, so these backwards jackasses banned the only rescue workers who can touch women from doing their jobs because of their gender. I’d say we bombed Afghanistan too far back into the stone age but the Taliban already had these messed up views long before 9/11 and the war on terror.

    I feel horrible for all the women there but especially those who got the taste of equality and freedom when the Taliban weren’t in charge only to be sent back to this old world Hell again because they know they have worth unlike what they grew up being taught under Taliban rule. That’s gotta be an insane complete 360 to experience and suddenly find yourself back under the old stranglehold of Sharia law overnight.

  22. They’re expending all their efforts on sheep and little boys.

  25. Religion out there doing what it has always done best….killing and oppressing women.

  27. no skin contact with women, but they’ll rape underage boys (read about bacha bazi)

  32. This is the stupidest shit I’ve read in a long time.
    Religion is a disease

  34. And that’s why donating to that country is a fucking joke. The women and children will not receive any help. Fuck that failed state and the men in it.

  39. Can a culture be so stupid it drives itself into extinction? Let’s hope so

  40. Hey, no problem. Those men can just marry children. Women are expendable. /s

  41. Leading cause of death in Afghanistan oddly enough is Cooties.

  42. Religion and religious people are just dumb. Something that is supposed to better humanity just destroys it.

  43. I think other countries should take in Afghan women and to leave that hellhole to the Taliban men. They have each other and their goats. That should keep them happy.

  44. Well. What do you expect from a group of men with the mindset of cavemen. That’s what Wahhabism is.

  45. But remember kids, when they migrate, they leave all this cultural indoctrination at the border. /s

  46. PSA: If your religion prevents you from saving another person from rubble, your religion FUCKING SUCKS.

  47. No religious extremists should ever be in power. Any place, any religion.

    In fact, forget the “extremist” part.

    Fairy tales should have no place in governance.

  48. Why don’t they just let the women leave the country, and then they can be an all male, female hating utopian society the way they prefer. Oh well, if you can’t procreate.
