    I don’t wish to disparage people’s spiritual beliefs, but I’m sorry nobody should have to go around wearing anything like this, no matter what faith you come from. You should have the freedom to EXIST as yourself and show who you are. This niqab stuff is abuse.

      I do wish to disparage people’s spiritual beliefs, so I’ll just say that religion is the greatest evil ever created by humankind.

        Was just about to say. Fuck organized religion, fuck tolerating bigotry and intolerance in the name of acceptance and pluralism. Religion is something to be overcome not assimilated.

        IMO religion shouldn’t exist in 21st Century.

        We have machines going beyond solar system, scientific evidence that earth revolves around Sun , ability to interact with people on the other side of globe instantly and more…

        None of these things have religion ever predicted. And sometimes even being grossly wrong.

          Modern society could not have formed without religion. So yeah, it’s hell.

        So you’re telling me that killing hundreds of thousands of people maybe even millions over the years in the name of some character which no one has any physical evidence exists and the people that follow along subconsciously know it’s fake however they are too afraid of not having some fictional guiding light is bad??? You’re wrong, Jesus saves!!!¡¡!¡!!! /s

      As someone with Muslim family, they will tell you that it is the women’s choice. That they prefer to cover themselves from head to toe, even in blistering heat. The actual choice is to bite their tongue and wear it, or choose to deal with shame, humiliation, mockery, and often times much worse.

      The rest of history has shown that women don’t choose that kind of clothing when they have free will.

        Precisely. Nobody should be forced to wear clothing in any faith that they don’t want to.

      People’s spiritual belief should be limited to themselves, the moment you enforce your religious rules on anyone else it’s no longer OK and should be disparaged. Everyone should have the freedom to dress as a beekeeper, no one should have the obligation to do so.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In September 2021, a month after U.S. and NATO troops withdrew from Afghanistan following two decades of war, the Taliban announced that girls were barred from studying beyond sixth grade.

    The Taliban have defied global condemnation and warnings that the restrictions will make it almost impossible for them to gain recognition as the country’s legitimate rulers.

    Last week, U.N. special envoy Roza Otunbayeva expressed concern that a generation of Afghan girls is falling behind with each day that passes.

    Last week, an official in the Education Ministry said Afghan girls of all ages are allowed to study in religious schools known as madrassas, which have traditionally been boys-only.

    In another part of Kabul, 13-year old Setayesh Sahibzada wonders what the future holds for her.

    Analyst Muhammad Saleem Paigir warned that excluding women and girls from education will be disastrous for Afghanistan.


    The original article contains 327 words, the summary contains 141 words. Saved 57%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Sometimes I really need to have these news thrown on my face, is incredible that we tend to forget these situations most of the time
