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.

    I don’t know, all I am saying is I do not support Hamas. You brought up Israel. Not sure why. I say look to the people in Kurdistan and Rojava. Those are governments who know how to help their people and protect Muslims and Jews and Christians and all other creeds. Jihadists Islamists do not believe in peace among nations and people.

    I’m an anarchist so I don’t care for the Israeli state or Palestinian state. States are inherently evil. We can see evidence of that on October 7th and beyond. Heck look at all of those intifadas and wars in the decades before October 7. Thus, look to Rojava.

      You don’t know why I brought up Israel when you brought up Hamas? Because they’re fighting each other right now and Israel is using it as an excuse to cause a genocide which has done far more harm to Palestinian women than Hamas could have ever hoped to have done.

      Why did you bring up Hamas? And if you’re going to say, “because they’re Muslims,” why those Muslims?

        Because Hamas wants to bring about a state that wants to genocide the Jews. Do you think they love the Jewish people?

          That has nothing to do with the subject of this article whatsoever, which is about how the Taliban do not see women as human.

          So how is that relevant?

        I do not support Hamas. I support the people in Gaza who want peace with all people in the region like the Kurds do. Anyone in Gaza who wants to establish a region like Rojava or anything that resembles Kurdistan then I support them. They are not violent. Hamas is violent and not worthy of supporting. The PKK has problems, and they are easily the worst aspect of Rojava. They are communists. Hamas are ethno-nationalists .

            Yeah the other commenter mentioned that above and I don’t disagree, fair point.
