Forums - Politics Discussion - Taliban laws in Afghanistan MUST SEE!

This is crazy. These were the laws of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001

Taliban restrictions and mistreatment of women include the:

1- Complete ban on women's work outside the home, which also applies to female teachers, engineers and most professionals. Only a few female doctors and nurses are allowed to work in some hospitals in Kabul.

2- Complete ban on women's activity outside the home unless accompanied by a mahram (close male relative such as a father, brother or husband).

3- Ban on women dealing with male shopkeepers.

4- Ban on women being treated by male doctors.

5- Ban on women studying at schools, universities or any other educational institution. (Taliban have converted girls' schools into religious seminaries.)

6- Requirement that women wear a long veil (Burqa), which covers them from head to toe.

7- Whipping, beating and verbal abuse of women not clothed in accordance with Taliban rules, or of women unaccompanied by a mahram.

8- Whipping of women in public for having non-covered ankles.

9- Public stoning of women accused of having sex outside marriage. (A number of lovers are stoned to death under this rule).

10- Ban on the use of cosmetics. (Many women with painted nails have had fingers cut off).

11- Ban on women talking or shaking hands with non-mahram males.

12- Ban on women laughing loudly. (No stranger should hear a woman's voice).

13- Ban on women wearing high heel shoes, which would produce sound while walking. (A man must not hear a woman's footsteps.)

14- Ban on women riding in a taxi without a mahram.

15- Ban on women's presence in radio, television or public gatherings of any kind.

16- Ban on women playing sports or entering a sport center or club.

17- Ban on women riding bicycles or motorcycles, even with their mahrams.

18- Ban on women's wearing brightly colored clothes. In Taliban terms, these are "sexually attracting colors."

19- Ban on women gathering for festive occasions such as the Eids, or for any recreational purpose.

20- Ban on women washing clothes next to rivers or in a public place.

21- Modification of all place names including the word "women." For example, "women's garden" has been renamed "spring garden".

22- Ban on women appearing on the balconies of their apartments or houses.

23- Compulsory painting of all windows, so women can not be seen from outside their homes.

24- Ban on male tailors taking women's measurements or sewing women's clothes.

25- Ban on female public baths.

26- Ban on males and females traveling on the same bus. Public buses have now been designated "males only" (or "females only").

27- Ban on flared (wide) pant-legs, even under a burqa.

28- Ban on the photographing or filming of women.

29- Ban on women's pictures printed in newspapers and books, or hung on the walls of houses and shops.

 

Apart from the above restrictions on women, the Taliban has:

- Banned listening to music, not only for women but men as well.

- Banned the watching of movies, television and videos, for everyone.

- Banned celebrating the traditional new year (Nowroz) on March 21. The Taliban has proclaimed the holiday un-Islamic.

- Disavowed Labor Day (May 1st), because it is deemed a "communist" holiday.

- Ordered that all people with non-Islamic names change them to Islamic ones.

- Forced haircuts upon Afghan youth.

- Ordered that men wear Islamic clothes and a cap.

- Ordered that men not shave or trim their beards, which should grow long enough to protrude from a fist clasped at the point of the chin.

- Ordered that all people attend prayers in mosques five times daily.

- Banned the keeping of pigeons and playing with the birds, describing it as un-Islamic. The violators will be imprisoned and the birds shall be killed. The kite flying has also been stopped.

- Ordered all onlookers, while encouraging the sportsmen, to chant Allah-o-Akbar (God is great) and refrain from clapping.

- Ban on certain games including kite flying which is "un-Islamic" according to Taliban.

- Anyone who carries objectionable literature will be executed.

- Anyone who converts from Islam to any other religion will be executed.

- All boy students must wear turbans. They say "No turban, no education".

- Non-Muslim minorities must distinct badge or stitch a yellow cloth onto their dress to be differentiated from the majority Muslim population. Just like what did Nazis with Jews.

- Banned the use of the internet by both ordinary Afghans and foreigners.

And so on... 

Isn't it crazy?



I trust no one, not even myself.

Not crazy compared to ISIS..



Wow that's awful. You can even find videos of public stoning of women filmed secretly. Its terrible.
And now these terrorists are bringing their dumb rules to Pakistan and destroying that country. Well I guess that's what pakistan deserves for creating the Taliban in Afghanistan and still continuing to fund them to achieve their foreign policy goals . Idiots are running that country.

What is it doing on a video game forum?

Why should we have to read this propaganda bullshit outside of mainstream media? (these laws are completely false, and the Taliban were put in place by Americans)

No, and no. We sponsored the Mujehadeen, who were known as the Northern Alliance when NATO came calling in 2001. The Taliban arose after the end of the Soviet Afghan war, as a primarily tribal movement representing the (barely) plurality Pashto ethnic group.

Again, what is this propaganda doing here? Can I post racist, islamophobic or antisemitic content completely unrelated to video games and then declare we should go to war in Iran or Korea?

In the Politics Discussion (which this belongs to) yes, you can.

I'm talking about oriented propaganda with an agenda (and over-used one at that) not political discussion (which you should check up on wikitionnary if you have doubt about what constitutes politics, political discussion, and simple media propaganda bullshit and xenophobic/war mongering discussions)

Sure, when my current best friend had to escape Iraq 17 years ago with his family. All because it was showing the first Taliban signs, his parents saw the red flags coming and moved as fast as possible to Europe. Americans are great with propaganda, but the Taliban is real and they are doing and making terrible things and rules.

Lets not forger that the Soviets also had a hand in the creation of the Taliban by invading Afghanistan to begin with.

But I don't think these are the laws of the Afghanistani government but that of the Taliban controled areas where the serious religious elements have power to enforce laws derived from Medieval aged morality.
