The Siren Song To Be Silenced In Afghanistan...

[sandyRoe]

.this misogynistic edict from a Taliban minister who seems to be responsible for the promotion of 'virtue' and the rooting out of vice, will ban women from singing together and even saying their prayers aloud.

 

What can be in the minds of the men who promote such policies? The voices of women are too tempting, perhaps?

[naomi24]

It's worse than that.  This from a few weeks ago:

 

//a new law was announced saying if a woman is outside her home, even her voice must not be heard.//

No marches full of white middle-class 'activists' through London protesting at this outrage, I note.

[naomi24]

^I was just about to post something very similar.

No, of course not Jack, these men are the wrong culture and colour to warrant any mass demonstrations. They must be tying themselves up in knots.

[sandyRoe]

You don't need to tie yourself into knots to point out evil, wherever it comes from.

[youngmafbog]

Well you seem to fail a lot.

All from the "Religion of Peace" of course, same one as the middle eastern terrorists.

[ToraToraTora]

hang on sandy, these are your "freedom fighter" buddies aren't they?

[ynnafymmi]

Didnt they also not annul all divorces that took place before they took power sandyRoe?Seems this religion of peace,love and tolerance isnt to your liking.Its strange you seem to be in favour of the anti-semitic terrorists in Gaza.Would you make your mind up?

[rowanwitch]

If those women were able to flee, would we be so hostile or would we take a share along with other nations I think they would be pretty grateful and willing to be educated and contribute to their new home.

@15.45.Methinks these Afghan women would be a positive thing for the UK.Not these riff-raff chancers coming in on RNLI boats.

[Peter Pedant]

you understand this is  not sharia law? but  the Taliban interpretation of the quran.

Girls schools have been closed for god knows how long and now they are taught in secret.

[Old_Geezer]

Well there would be marches and protests but the 'Women for Taliban" protest group weren't allowed to.
