Taliban has banned women from seeing male doctors AND banned women from seeking medical education to become doctors. This is a sure fire way to kill women. It’s beyond barbaric.

Moreover, Prophet Muhammad (sa) declared education incumbent upon women AND declared medical knowledge as the most worthwhile knowledge. Taliban extremists ignore that entirely—because they fear truth, justice, and empowered women.

Taliban are enemies of all humanity.

Religious extremism has no place in civil societies. Functioning governments resist all strains of religious fundamentalism through inoculations of strong educational and legal systems rooted in intellectual inquiry and evidence based reason. The Taliban are US creations, for their social ideologies and fundamentalist doctrines mirror religious fanaticism that occupied high places in US governance.

Denouncing all association with non Christian sociocultural groups has become the litmus test for non whites to gain credibility with the dominant society while playing the game of respectability politics. Whether it's the Taliban or Council of Arab and Islamic Relations, scapegoating by any other name remains the same in hard Fascism.
