Can the UN explain how the Taliban’s interpretation of Sharia is wrong? Why doesn’t it even try?
“Taliban’s pursuit of ‘Islamic vision’ eroding freedoms in Afghanistan: Security Council,” by Vibhu Mishra, UN News, December 12, 2024:
The Taliban’s continued imposition of strict interpretations of Islamic law and Afghan culture has resulted in unprecedented restrictions on women and girls, the UN envoy for the country warned on Thursday.
Briefing ambassadors in the Security Council, Roza Otunbayeva, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, painted a grim picture of escalating human rights abuses, diminishing freedoms and growing humanitarian challenges.
“It is now approaching nearly 1,200 days without girls having access to formal education beyond sixth grade, with women and girls facing a progressive erasure from almost all walks of life,” she said.
A recent decree barring women from attending medical institutes could further devastate the country’s healthcare system, with deadly implications not only for women and girls, but for men and boys as well.
“I have strongly urged the de facto authorities to reconsider,” she added….

Maybe Afghanistan and Syria can rally their OIC allies against this resolution?

Muslim men in 90% majority Islamic countries hate women. The men want to do everything possible to lower their standing in society. Severe dress codes and behavior is imposed on them. Not the men, mind you. They have no dress codes and can look like complete slobs- that’s totally acceptable. But a woman who dresses nicely is totally condemned. It is a sin. Now the Koran may not spell it out that way but no matter. Men like to abuse the women. It comes from an innate sense of inferiority. These men know they are living in a failed country by a failed religion and failed laws. They see every country in the world surpassing them. And they have suffered indignities like losing every war to Israel and winning wars is a matter of honor for them. So they not only lose the wars but lost their honor. Who can they blame? Well there is always the US, Israel and any advanced nation like all the European ones. But that doesn’t appease their outrage. They need something closer to them, more physical and more real. A sort of spy.
Women are a perfect target. If they dress like the “enemy” they must be the enemy and punished as an enemy. They better not copy fashions of the West and look French or America or G-d forbid like an Israeli. So they put the women in a national jail that is called “stay-at-home” or home detention as much as possible while keeping tabs on them 24 hours a day just like a prisoner. The jail guards doing this are family male members. Can’t go outside without a male family escort. That brother or father or cousin may look and dress like a slob but he is an important member of society as he is guarding the honor of Islam. SIck? Of course it is but these countries prefer to cling to their ancient habits to keep society pure.
Honor is everything except their definition of Honor is perverted. They never realize that by seeing women as a Fifth Column, they make themselves weaker and dumber and no match for societies that are open and advanced in how women are viewed.

Regarding the anti-female essence of Islam, one example of this is with Afghanistan.
For some time back way before Joe Biden gave always Afghanistan to the Taliban. An international news reporter asked an official Taliban representative about the Taliban respecting the human rights of woman if they ever did take over the land of Afghanistan again.
That Taliban spokesman answered that question asked of him about the basic human rights of females, both girls and women, he declared” We guarantee all their rights within the limits of Islam.”
All aware people who understand Islam know that the last four words of that statement has an obvious meaning.
Which is that with Islam the rights of females are very limited. As in within the Islamic view, they have little to no rights at all.
As this has been so well explained by Brigitte Gabriel in her book, entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED in Chapter 9 of the title “Islam’s Contempt for Women” which informs its reader on page 171 “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.”
In addition, on the next page it further reads” Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”
The tragic and sad reality is that Islam is a religion of brutal, cruel, harsh and even, at times, murderous misogyny.

Wer den weiblichen natürlichen Menstruationszyklus der Frau als “unrein” oder schmutzig abtut, kann doch nur auf der Wurstsuppe daher geschwommen sein. Null Bildung . Aber die große Klappe mit Ehre und Respekt und einen auf dicke Eier machen. Wer diesen pädophilen, massenmordenden Mohammed wie einen Heiligen verehrt und anbetet, kann nur verachtet und gemobbt werden.
Walter Sieruk says
The Taliban have banned women from the university because the Islam is a religion of oppressive misogyny and their regime in Afghanistan is based on Islam with its Sharia.
The Taliban want the women trapped in Afghanistan to under the darkness tyranny and oppression of Sharia. Therefore, they ban them from receiving an education.
As Thomas Jefferson had, so wisely, declared “Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”

“Satan hates the woman cuz of her Child.” Satan thought he had won Eve away from her man & her God. But her husband stood by her & her God gave her a special Son,
Walter Sieruk says
The misogyny of the Taliban who now in power in Afghanistan is based Islam’s Sharia supports and upholds and even demands that females wear the burka.
Therefore, It should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. “For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore, Sharia is pagan and has no value or worth.
In other words, the Islamic tyrannical regime of the Taliban is grounded on only a foundation of sand.
abu taleb says
It is not a strict interpretation, it is a logical interpretation.
How come women go to school if they need male guardians to be outside their houses. Do we expect the male guardians to attend the class too with the women as their guardians instead of becoming the breadwinner of the house?
And remember, Islam is not harming the women, Islam is protecting the women (from muslim themselves of course) (sarc)

I suppose that, once in a while, the useless united nations might say something truthful. The UN mostly seems to suck up to Islam. For the useless fools at the UN to say anything worthwhile or truthful is about as rare as a monkey, given a typewriter, writing a coherent sentence.
