A Taliban leader said a group of Islamic scholars will decide whether women can work or be educated

A Taliban leader said a group of Islamic scholars will decide whether women and girls in Afghanistan can go to work or school, in remarks appearing to contradict those made by the militant group that promised women an active role in their new regime.

"Our ulema [scholars] will decide whether girls are allowed to go to school or not," Taliban commander Waheedullah Hashimi told Reuters.

"They will decide whether they should wear hijab, burqa, or only [a] veil plus abaya or something or not. That is up to them."

Women in Afghanistan have shared fears that the Taliban, which last week captured most of the country as the government fell, will reimpose strict Islamic laws which were in place during their last rule between 1996 and 2001.

No wonder Trump likes these people so much.

1. How about if a group of all-female Islamic scholars decide whether ...

...men and boys are allowed to go to work or school, are allowed to appear in public unaccompanied, and uncovered? Hmmm????

4. Um, do they take the words of their prophet seriously?

"Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China" Muhammad.

I don't see a gender specified in that statement.

5. No different from US pastors rejecting masks and vaxes.

Blind leading the stupid.

6. Wish we could airlift out all the females, the Taliban males could boss each other around.

And the males wouldn't have to deal with the females whom they obviously think are subhuman.

9. What source did you read that in?

Both 'The Bear Went Over the Mountain' by Les Grau and 'Whispers of War' by Masood Khalili detail much of the infrastructure built/attempted by Moscow, but made zero mention of schools established to educate female students.

In fact, the latter source indicated both Andropov and Ustinov pushed Brezhnev to raze any rural schools found still standing, and close urban secondary and primary schools to all students.
