Terror is the only tool in the Taliban’s box for bringing about adherence to its rules, because it’s the only tool the Qur’an gives them: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
The Qur’an requires that women wear the veil (24:31), but isn’t specific about how much of themselves they must cover. The idea, however, is that it is their responsibility to prevent male temptation. So the Taliban force them to cover themselves entirely, as the sight of any part of their bodies could set a man off, and that would be the woman’s fault.
“Taliban forces using electric shocks on Afghan women over dress,” Rukhshana Media, July 12, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Taliban forces are administering electric shocks to women over breaches of a hijab mandate so strict it even requires them to cover their faces in public, reporting by Rukhshana Media has found.
Victims and eyewitnesses described women being knocked unconscious by electric shocks as they resisted efforts by Afghanistan’s notorious morality police to take them into custody over their dress. Others reported that the devices were being widely used in women’s prisons.
The rights group Amnesty International has called for a global ban on devices that deliver a shock on direct contact, calling them “inherently abusive” and saying they can cause serious injury and even death. International policing standards state that electric shocks should only be used as a last resort and in self-defence.
Nafisa*, 20, was shopping for winter scarves with her sister in Kabul last October when the pair were confronted by four uniformed Taliban morality police. One demanded to know why she wasn’t dressed like her sister, who wore head to toe black with a face covering, then ordered her to get into his vehicle. Terrified, she gripped her sister’s hand tightly and tried to stand her ground as a woman working with the police pulled her away.
“When I resisted, they gave me an electric shock. After that, I remember nothing,” recalls Nafisa, who was held overnight in a cold, dark police cell with eight other women and three girls.
One young woman had been beaten and detained for being improperly dressed, even though she was wearing full-length clothing. improper hijab, another for having contact with a man she wasn’t related to. Others had been arrested for begging on the street.
Nafisa’s older sister Zohal*, 24, stammers nervously as she remembers that day. “Nafisa fell to the ground right before my eyes and the Taliban treated her like a corpse, throwing her into the vehicle and driving away,” she says. “It was the worst moment of my life and those seconds felt like hours. I kept asking people for help, but they walked away. No one dared to say a word to the Taliban.”
Both women said they were left feeling traumatised by the incident, and both subsequently took antidepressants for a period of several months….

Muslims are sadists. Simple as that. If they don’t like you – and that includes 50% of their population automatically, meaning the women, they think up sick ways to harm you, cause you pain and make you scream or cry. That is called “SADISM”. And it is government policy for the Taliban sadistic police.
Where are the so called “Progressive” people who claim to be humanitarian but do not protest this abhorrent and sickening policy. They find time and energy to protest with violence against anything Israel but are very shy when it comes to a obscene and shocking Muslim official policy against women.
The democrats have certainly come a long way from the old Hillary Clinton’s fake political appeal on behalf of women. Apparently, it doesn’t include Muslim women worldwide. The AOC’s and squad will never be pro-active against any Muslim nation’s policy towards their female population. And we have years of proof. of that.
Andrew Blackadder says
So if morons like those in the Taliban demand that women must cover their entire bodies from head to toe in other that men, muslim men, will not rape them then these muslim men are readily admitting they are in fact rapists…
islamism is the new version of nazism.
However its great to see all those Western Feminists and Lesbians out on the streets of London, Berlin, Paris, Milan, New York in support of the women of Afghanistan and female rights as they are losing theirs in America… wait a minute.. WHATTTTT.!!!!!!
John Pepple says
I regret having ever supported feminists. They should be the most fervent protesters against Muslims coming to the West, and instead they are all for it.

I am for equal rights for women and I oppose Jihadists. But you are right that all too many do not.

Muslims/Islam herds women as Shepards herd sheep to slaughter. The big difference is shepherds don’t rape the sheep. .
Fred Hires says
Most muzzie men prefer goats or young boys Sheep are ok victims as substitutes.

It’s very much keeping within the vicious misogynistic character of the Taliban to use the torture of electric shocks to control and force the Afghan women to wear the burqa, which part of Islam’s of the oppressive misogyny of Islam with its Sharia.
For the Taliban is based on Islam with its Sharia is, very much, anti-female towards both girls and women. .
The burka a is very demeaning and degrading to females , both girls and women.
For the burqa is one of the many aspects of the oppressive misogyny of Islam.
Furthermore, a scholar of Islam had revealed the disturbing horrible truth in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
[1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel, pages 171,172.
Walter Sieruk says
That brutal cruel oppressive misogynistic tyrannical Islamic regime of the Taliban is based on Sharia which denies basic human rights is viciously harsh oppressive to girls and women. For
Islam’s Sharia supports forcing females to wear the burqa which is a symbol of the misogyny of Islam with its Sharia.
As for the Muslims who have the Islamic goal to make Sharia the Law of the land in Europe, it therefore should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia had been 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 of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth.

………………………………….
Thugs–yet too many fools believed the Talibfan when they claied they were “Taliban 2.0”.
More:
Others had been arrested for begging on the street
………………………………….
Few women are allowed to work or go to school in Afghanistan–unless they are married to someone who is actually supporting them, how can they live if they cannot even beg?
Note that in Afghanistan women are not even fed in prison–they can starve if they don’t have relatives to bring them food.
God, I hate Islam.
