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.

@QasimRashid so why have the Afghan people not resisted more? Why have Afghan men and women not rebelled and kicked them out of the country when they had the chance? How could a bunch of illiterate teenagers on mopeds defeat an army that had helicopters and tanks was it not for broad support of the population? Would a rerun of the invasion change the outcome now that the people experience the disaster first hand? Where is the revolt inside of Afghanistan?

@RulesBuster @QasimRashid We’re seeing a similar thing in Iran right now—people do protest, but they’re promptly executed. The lack of mass uprisings isn’t the same thing as citizens loving the Taliban.

@n1zyy @QasimRashid so there is no hope for ever changing oppressive regimes? Neither invasion nor rebellion will ever succeed toppling the oppressors? This sounds exactly like the message dictators like to send ...

@RulesBuster @QasimRashid Of course there’s hope. It’s just not easy, and it sounded like you were blaming the Afghan people for supporting the Taliban, which I don’t think is a particularly accurate characterization.

@n1zyy @QasimRashid I just do not understanding how the Taliban could get support from the population in the first place. Worse even now, as the country turns into a hellhole with religious fanatics meddling with every aspect of civilian life, half the population's basic human rights are taken away, where's the rebellion? From the outside Afghanistan looks like a patient who stubbornly refuses modern medicines even so they know that the traditional healer cannot cure their ills ...
