The struggle for woman journalists in Afghanistan- 25 May 08

Working as a journalist in Afghanistan can be challenging enough at the best of times.

However, in a country where women have faced many restrictions, Afghanistan's female journalists risk their lives every day, just by heading to the office.

@kirkyup get a life, violence is what you utter. i don't even need to clarify anything to a blasphemous idiot like you, truth speaks for itself. g'night.

are temporary. and they are not just. only divine orders are just. accept it, islam is the true path. and even if you don't accept it now, trust me, you will one day. in shaa allah.

@FreeIranStopIslam1 you idiot, i am a woman. and when a person like you cannot control his tongue, i wonder how you will ever control your hands. in fact, people like you are the first ones to stride forward to beat their women for no rhyme nor reason. but what i'm talking about is conditional. these are the laws given my the creator himself and there is nothing more just than his laws. if you can bring any man made law with absolute consensus, come forward. but the fact is that man made laws

Message to all the journalist in Afghanistan, it's not about religion, faith, skin color, political affiliation or race, it is about equal treatment, for every civilians shown getting killed you must provide a soldier getting killed in the same fashion and don't say your News agency refused to air it, you can upload on YoUTuBe, prove to consumers you are fair and balanced as reporters/ journalist

As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

[saammaahh]

This is the full and right verse:

Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard.

y r u quoting the verses out of context? u r dumb enough that u don't even knw the criteria to read and understand the holy scripture.

Ok from that way of thinking maybe their rights should be equal in a fair society.

First they need a fair society.

Any idea where they are?
