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.

    It’s not “Islam at large”, look at Iran pre-revolution, or Iraq under Saddam Hussein. They had a multitude of problems, but Islamic fundamentalism wasn’t one of them.

            Glowy isn’t ad hominem, it’s an accusation

            You are attributing the states actions to all believers of a religion. It’s insanity. People who are not advocating of wiping Islam off the face of the earth believe there are innocent people who want to worship innocently. You do not believe that and believe all Muslims must ultimately be violent because they worship a death cult apparently.

                Here’s our comments in context. Do you believe you are defending innocent Muslims with your words in this context? No, you took an opportunity to take an argument defending innocent Muslims (the Iranian caliphate right now is way worse than anything before) to defend the aytolla

                Yes, and in my comments in this entire thread I make that clear distinction and you are not. You are just defending the ayatollah, thus all of my glowy comments that you want to duel over

      Just like christian nations: the worse educated and poorer the more abusive sky dictator trumps love for fellow human.
