Women must cover entire bodies in public; Taliban.
#12
I have to agree that the Taliban aren't the only religious nutters in need of deprogramming. The various religions have done much good but they've also done much harm; most have now become slightly more evolved & in tune with the times rather than remaining back in the 1st century.
The Taliban are an exception & remain as ignorant as most were centuries ago, & worse, apparently don't want to learn if it means they might have to give up controlling others, especially women.

The full burqa is not suited to any climate or country; the only thing it is suited to is ignorance & an effort to control, demean & punish.

"The decree by the Taliban's hardline leader Hibaitullah Akhunzada even suggested women shouldn't leave their homes unless necessary and outlines a series of punishments for male relatives of women violating the code.
A reclusive leader, Akhunzada rarely travels outside southern Kandahar, the traditional Taliban heartland. He favours the harsh elements of the group's previous time in power, in the 1990s, when girls and women were largely barred from school, work and public life.
Like Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar, Akhunzada imposes a strict brand of Islam that marries religion with ancient tribal traditions, often blurring the two.

Akhunzada has taken tribal village traditions where girls often marry at puberty, and rarely leave their homes, and called it a religious demand, analysts say.

A prominent Afghan who meets the leadership and is familiar with their internal squabbles said that a senior Cabinet minister expressed his outrage over Akhunzada's views at a recent leadership meeting. He spoke on condition of anonymity to speak freely."
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
