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.
Religious bigots in power, what to expect?
Sometimes the smartest person in the room is a woman. By refusing to educated women, they are limiting the intellectual growth and capabilities of their own culture. Cultures with fair, balanced rules, and systems of living, for everyone regardless of race, gender, or any other thing people imagine matters, will have a stronger society in almost all aspects from that alone. Because most of the things people imagine matter. Don’t. In fact, what matters, is the actual intellectual capabilities of the individual, not how you or anyone else perceives them.
Good, we see Taliban as demons wearing human skin since time immemorial.
Hey according to some that’s okay, because at least they know what a woman is:
That’s okay I’m sure her fellow “women’s rights” defenders wouldn’t do something awful like make fun of Malala’s experiences:
Jfc people are gross
Ofcourse JK Rowling likes that first tweet. What a vile piece of excrement
“The Taliban declined to attend or comment.”
Well yeah, they don’t think a person was talking.
Really how is this news? The Taliban don’t think woman are people, and water is wet.
We armed the wrong sex in Afghanistan…
When incels have complete control, basically.
It’s probably good they have basic religious differences or Republicans and the Taliban would have joined forces by now.
Lore accurate abrahamic religions are peak incelcore. They remove the incel stuff to make it more appealing for the less hardcore fanbase.
Wow, neither do US republicans. So much in common.
What do hamas think of women?
Is this supposed to be some gotcha that justifies Israel’s genocide? Because what does Israel think of all of the women they are killing? And in Syria as well.
No, but there’s nuance. Hamas is not worth supporting under any circumstance. I believe the Arabs and Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank should be able to live peacefully with all non Arabs and non Muslims in the region. Hamas does not want that. Hamas does not want peace with non Muslims, especially Jews.
Can you point to any of the Hamas supporters on Lemmy? I have yet to meet one.
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?
Also, as an anarchist, yours was a shit take.
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 .
It was a shit take because we arent talking about Israel, you raised a non sequitur.
ahhh the wonders of religion. humanity’s self-induced blight
She criticized their policies banning Afghan girls from education and work as “gender apartheid” and un-Islamic.
Says right there it is opposite of what the religion teaches?!
At least wait until there is an article that confirms your bias to spit your poison, dude.
Religion is not what religion teaches.
Look what they do, not what they say.
Why do you jump to religion and not simply conclude that the Talibans are massive incels? You do realize that out of two billion Muslims only the Taliban are doing this shit right? Malala is calling them un-Islamic for a reason.
It is very clearly not only taliban. Extremist groups are, shocker, more extreme. Muslim religion and culture tends to treat muslim women as second class citizens. The more western the muslim country, the more they treat women like equals. Christians treat lbtq communty like shit and you wouldn’t say americans in 70s were extremist christian nutjobs as it was standard to be homophobic, part of the culture.
religion is in itself a ridiculous premise, and the type is largely irrelevant (islam/christianity).
they are a disease that should be eradicated. humanity will never move forward with such archaic ideas.

all religions were created by con artists. theyre just tools used to control other humans. its nothing more than that.
islam itself founded by a pedophilic warlord. volume of the indoctrinated is irrelevant. kinda funny how the best predictor of which of these cults any particular human follows is geography.
Just ignore this troll. You’re giving him a platform.

o0o0 sick burn. hard to refute reality.
every holy book has been written by humans with something to gain in their use. christianity responsible for some of the largest swaths of dead humans in the crusades. the bible crafted by carefully selected passages by humans across millennia. even modern bullshit like mormonism and scientology, created by documented con artists. but oh no, yours is the ‘one true’ religion.
all religions are false Except yours, right? cuz yours is somehow special?
I’m an atheist. It’s not.
I mean the other guy seems to not understand that ideas spread geographically so yeah, not a good look.
Because their religion literally teaches them to treat women like shit?
And it’s not only them doing this. They all have shit women’s rights records.
Look at Rojava in Kurdistan (you did say “all” Muslims, no taking that back). It’s like saying the Christian religion is the reason the crusades were bad and not because they were violent men with horrible ideas. Innocent people worship innocently. I don’t like jihadists or Islamic nationalists or caliphates either, but I at least don’t attribute that to Muslims entirely, just the stupid ones. Most people don’t understand the difference between those who just want to be Muslim (look at Islamic people in Kurdistan and, yes, even Israel who has many religions living together relatively peacefully to the US) and those who want jihad and intifadas and Islam-directed oppression via the state. That’s because you believed the propaganda.
There are religious nuts in Islam. They are jihadists. Hamas was the suicide bombers back in the 2000s. The taliban, ISIS, ISIL, Al-queda, the Houthis, Al-Shabaab, etc etc. They are all Islamic nationalists. It’s like seeing an American and assuming they’re transphobic just because MAGA is.
They all have shit women’s rights records.
I’m sure this is a well-researched claim and not something you just made up, but let’s not get into that.
And it’s not only them doing this.
Literally no Muslim country in the world is as insane about oppressing women as Taliban Afghanistan. And that includes even the notorious ones like Iran. Nothing in Islamic beliefs or the behavior of Muslim countries resembles the ridiculousness of Taliban policies, and you should learn at least that before you shit on other people’s cultures.
She’s fearless and relentless… I really hope nothing happens to her.
Headline/statement improvement note for your online discussing:
“Taliban do not understand that women are human”, or “Taliban continue to refuse to acknowledge that women are human”.
Don’t imply a possibility of correctness that isn’t there.
Rule 1 in this community includes, “title must match the article headline.” OP did as we request.
She can change taliban to Islam at large. Other Arab countries would be doing it to if they thought they could get away with it.
You think the Taliban and Pakistan and Afghanistan are… Arab? Why don’t you believe that they are Pashtuns?
Other Arab
Didn’t tell on yourself until the second sentence this time, well done
It’s not “Islam at large”, look at Iran pre-revolution, or Iraq under Saddam Hussein. They had a multitude of problems, but Islamic fundamentalism wasn’t one of them.
You don’t even need to leave Afghanistan. Afghanistan before the Soviets invaded was a very different place.

Just like christian nations: the worse educated and poorer the more abusive sky dictator trumps love for fellow human.
