Summary

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai condemned the Taliban’s treatment of women at a Pakistan summit on girls’ education in Muslim communities, stating, “The Taliban do not see women as human beings.”

She criticized their policies banning Afghan girls from education and work as “gender apartheid” and un-Islamic.

Afghanistan is the only country banning education for girls beyond grade six, affecting 1.5 million girls.

Malala urged Muslim leaders to challenge these practices and advocate for girls’ education globally.

The Taliban declined to attend or comment.

    I’m sorry, but Hamas is not worth defending. I want peace for Gazans and everyone over there. I hate that Jews were given the fucking shaft because of Britain and the Ottoman Empire. There’s just too much history here to even call this simply Zionism, it is too reductionist.

    If Hamas dedicated themselves to disarming after and allowing all people to exist as a separate state from Islam, I’m all for it. Go Hamas if that’s what they want. Hell yeah, bring peace to your people, the Jews, the Christians, the atheists, etc. Allow them to vote in your society, allow them all to participate in government and practice their faith openly and without persecution.

    They do not want this. They want an Islamic state guided by Islamic faith to rule over the land of Judea/Israel/whatever. I do not desire this.

      They actually do. And they have said so multiple times.

      They want an Islamic state guided by Islamic faith to rule over the land of Judea/Israel/whatever

      Oh wow, so now you’re just going full Islamophobic again, uh? Let me know when you have a reply based on reality and not scary ideas you pulled out of thin air to further victimize the people enduring a genocide

        Look at any of my other comments man, you will absolutely see I love my Muslim brothers and sisters. I even say I am okay with the spread of Islam and the Arab ethnicity, I just don’t support it via state or violent means (I don’t support in theocracy or ethnostates).

        I am against nationalists of all religions and political ideologies. Hamas is not exempt from this.
