Summary

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai condemned the Taliban’s treatment of women at a Pakistan summit on girls’ education in Muslim communities, stating, "The Taliban do not see women as human beings."

She criticized their policies banning Afghan girls from education and work as "gender apartheid" and un-Islamic.

Afghanistan is the only country banning education for girls beyond grade six, affecting 1.5 million girls.

Malala urged Muslim leaders to challenge these practices and advocate for girls' education globally.

The Taliban declined to attend or comment.

ahhh the wonders of religion. humanity's self-induced blight

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 23 points 6 months ago

Why do you jump to religion and not simply conclude that the Talibans are massive incels? You do realize that out of two billion Muslims only the Taliban are doing this shit right? Malala is calling them un-Islamic for a reason.

religion is in itself a ridiculous premise, and the type is largely irrelevant (islam/christianity).

they are a disease that should be eradicated. humanity will never move forward with such archaic ideas.

Because their religion literally teaches them to treat women like shit?

And it’s not only them doing this. They all have shit women’s rights records.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 6 months ago

They all have shit women’s rights records.

I'm sure this is a well-researched claim and not something you just made up, but let's not get into that.

And it’s not only them doing this.

Literally no Muslim country in the world is as insane about oppressing women as Taliban Afghanistan. And that includes even the notorious ones like Iran. Nothing in Islamic beliefs or the behavior of Muslim countries resembles the ridiculousness of Taliban policies, and you should learn at least that before you shit on other people's cultures.

Says right there it is opposite of what the religion teaches?!

At least wait until there is an article that confirms your bias to spit your poison, dude.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

Religion is not what religion teaches.

Look what they do, not what they say.

I can assure you that misogyny is not a result of religion, religion is just used to excuse it.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

It’s the sickness and its own cure! Just like other drug addictions.

When incels have complete control, basically.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

It's probably good they have basic religious differences or Republicans and the Taliban would have joined forces by now.

Lore accurate abrahamic religions are peak incelcore. They remove the incel stuff to make it more appealing for the less hardcore fanbase.

She isn't wrong. Imagine not seeing half of the population as human, even though they carried you and everyone who has ever been born in the womb for 9 months and gave birth to you.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 18 points 6 months ago

I live in the United States. I don't have to imagine, I can see it up close.

[-] hungryphrog 11 points 6 months ago

JFC can you guys stop acting like your country is the worst place to ever exist? The situation for American women is nowhere as bad as it is for Afgan women. (yet)

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

JFC you don't even live in the U.S. and you want to tell me that the type of people who would be happy to have American women in the same situation as Afghan women don't exist here?

Well yeah, they don't think a person was talking.

Really how is this news? The Taliban don't think woman are people, and water is wet.

We armed the wrong sex in Afghanistan.....

[-] clot27@lemm.ee 20 points 6 months ago

Religious bigots in power, what to expect?

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

The f'n MAGAts and the Taliban share a lot in common.

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Capitalists are more efficient than both.

They don't see almost anyone as human.

If the US had not invaded Afghanistan and done such a shitjob the Taliban would have been overthrown by now. The Taliban was highly unpopular in 2001, but thanks to the US fucking everything up, they regained more land than they had otherwise by 2017 or so.

[-] quant@leminal.space 8 points 6 months ago

Nothing's certain with alternate scenarios. Perhaps Taliban would have eventually fallen, perhaps not. In the meanwhile, countless people will suffer under those goat fuckers.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

But it was very profitable for weapons dealers so that makes everything OK.
