When they talk about treating Afghan's women, they always miss the fact that these women gave birth to Taliban and they are mothers, grand mothers, daughters, aunts, etc. etc. So, these women have the power and authority to take their rights. Therefore, there should not be an external mandate on how to treat these women. This is not their business.

@@ChromeMan04 , I have no sources ,besides the fact that I have being following the takeover of Kabul by the Talibans,through various channels; Also ,I read a lot of articles (in Arabic,English,and French ) about the takeover; I was able to realize ,that the Talibans were de facto rulers in most of Afghanistan,well before the takeover of Kabul ; There is no way this would have being the case , without the overwhelming support of the Afghans people; BTW, the recent demonstrations of a few women in Kabul were organized from Iran ,and those women were from the chias cult . Also ,there is no way ,the 300,000 Americans-trained Afghans army would have evaporated in the face of the Talibans’ advance ,if most of the Afghans soldiers were not sympathetic to the Talibans’ cause . I am just hoping that the Talibans proceed in a step-by -step process ,while giving the people time to adjust and to “acclimate” themselves to the new regime; For example, I wish that the Talibans had waited a little longer ,before proceeding with yesterday imposition of amputation of limbs for thefts ,etc…., as the situation is still dire for a lot of people (BTW, Omar Ibn Khattab (RA) suspended this DIVINE DECREE during a time of famine); Anyway,I am hoping that safety and prosperity return very fast to the worn-out Afghans people!
