Surprise surprise
Oh gee golly guess what the Taliban have gone back on their promise to re-open high schools for girls. I thought they were sincere!
The Taliban on Wednesday abruptly reversed their decision to allow girls’ high schools to reopen this week, saying that they would remain closed until officials draw up a plan for them to reopen in accordance with Islamic law.
Well what’s the holdup? They’ve had months, in fact they’ve had centuries.
Tsss. We know what the holdup is. They have no intention of doing any such thing, and never did.
The keeping women in the dirt part is not some frill on the edge of their theocracy, it’s the whole point. It’s crucial. It’s central. It’s what makes them theocrats. Hatred of women is at the very core of their religion. God is a man and women are garbage.
Talk of their re-opening girls’ schools “in accordance with Islamic law” is nonsensical, because Islamic law=women are garbage, and sly crafty lying cheating garbage at that. Women are worthless, and also guaranteed to try to get away with doing their evil slutty womany things. Of course they can’t go to schools, which would be whorehouses where they learned how to get away with doing evil slutty rebellious womany things.
Invoking Islamic Law gives them an out, doesn’t it? “We want to provide education to girls, but Allah said no. If you have a problem take it up with Allah (PBUH. ) through your Mullah. After executing you for blasphemy, he will take up your claim with all due respect .”
I’m not aware of any specific passage in the Qur’an that requires women be uneducated, though as I recall like Jewish scripture there’s a certain reverence for commentaries in a way that Christians don’t usually bother with.
A feminist text the Qur’an isn’t though…
