Confined to the Shadows - Afghanistan

November 1996
When Taliban took Kabul, women were immediately confined to the peripheries of society. Martin Adler travels to Afghanistan to report on how the Taliban's zealous interpretation of Islam is affecting the lives of women. A nine year old girl laments that her education has been cut short. An elderly war widow worries that she s now unable to go out to work to feed her family, and a clandestine meeting, women teachers who were forced to quit, express concerns for the future of their country where half the teachers were women.

when a lunatic Christian cult inbreeds, uses violence, or hurts children, they are arrested and punished. We do not tolerate this behavior. We dont simply say "they are not real Christians" no, we punish them. When do you see Muslims punishing the savages who perpetrate these acts? Never. No action. No punishment. they condemn with words, but condone by their inaction.

Whenever atrocities like, child rape, beheadings, stoning etc are done in the name of Islam, by whatever lunatic group, then you always have others who say "this is not Islam, this is not what being a Muslim means" Yet, they never DO anything about it. They say they condemn it, but they really tolerate it, because they take no action against the atrocities. Why? Because they really support it.

I am muslim and Afghani. This video is bollocks...its just trying to make a problem so people can have a negative view about Islam. I mean no ones comments have anything to say about the women, no one cares, its just insults about Islam. The country has bigger problems like its economy and poverty.

@proudfemale

Do you ever stop to think that I don't have any power over that, as I sit here and refrain myself from all those that're mentioned?

All of those that you've listed, they're all BS fed to the media. Ever thought of that? The crap these guys have on the Muslims are exaggerated, what about all the stuff that the west does?

I'm not DEFENDING these terrorists, I'm saying it's wrong to assume that all Muslims are. You clearly don't know any Muslims personally.

And quit spamming Caps Lock.
