They will teach girls to obey men and to be good wives. The boys will be taught to obey their religious leaders. The religious leaders will accept no limitations to their power.

Pretty sure we all know what kind of education they want for girls

[reigns.]

In short they treat women like animals

If Saudi Arabia is 100 years behind on women’s rights then these guys are 1000 years behind on women’s rights.

Girls can go to school if they respect sharia law and not go to school.

It truly blows every fiber of my mind that this type of archaic thinking has made it to 2021 so intact 🤦🏻‍♂️

He basically says: Girls are now allowed two eye holes instead on one

[janeblog]

The children can go to school as long as they don’t look or breath the wrong way 👿

[moldovandorin]

Good education means learn the religious stuff

[deadname...]

Isn't that the law where a father is allowed to kill his daughter or wife for
disrespecting the family.

Islam does not deprive the women rather ensuring proper rights, dignity and status. I am a woman, not stupid and blind. I love Islam. I hate that people always think Islam oppress women when they know little to nothing about Islam. I also hate how some people misrepresented islam and people refer those bad behaviours to their religion. I hope that the taliban will now give what women deserves and protect women's rights.

The Afganistan people were given $10 trillion dollars, and a trained army of Afghanistan men to fight for their freedom. They ran away for their chance to fight for freedom.

Now they must submit to their zealot Masters.

It looks like he got a good training from the White House, he’s telling lies without even blinking.

So in other words, no education and marriage at 9 years old.
