The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    If they start a fight, continue it, and escalate it until total obliteration.

    Huh? Fuck no what the hell are you talking about? Islam has rules of engagement and explicitly forbids attacking non-combatants. Other than that in Islam Jihad has two purposes: protecting Muslims and spreading Islam, in that order. Neither are helped by a war of extermination, and historically Muslim states have been on the side of “convert or pay the tribute and we’ll leave you alone”.

    I can see why countries that had some sort of Islamic revolution at some point are totally great places to live. Nothing inhumane happening there.

    Okay seriously, why are you attributing that to Islam and not colonialism and the cold war? Secular post-colonial states in the Middle East aren’t doing much better.
