Malala Yousafzai urges Muslim leaders to challenge policies restricting girls and women's schooling.

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.

      Very good. It says “resistance and jihad.” Meaning they are talking about two different things.

      Similarly, Tolstoy’s War and Peace isn’t just about a war.

        Okay, but this is defending Hamas Jihad against anyone they deem a colonizer. They lay exactly who is an oppressor and what territory they claim to resist and jihad in the liberation of the oppressed Muslims, Christians, and Jews from Israeli colonial Zionistic occupation (all people in all of Israel and Palestine are considered Palestinians to Hamas).

        Every person who recognizes the borders of Israel is killable to Hamas.

        Am I misinterpreting their statements?

          I literally just showed you that ‘jihad’ in this context is separate from any call for armed resistance and you’re still acting like it’s the same thing. So I’m really thinking you’re a troll at this point.
