A Taliban official says women lose value if their faces are visible to men in public, and that the only way to wear the hijab, or the Islamic headscarf, is if the face is hidden

The Taliban is what happens when you let incels govern

    Taliban really do view women as property, not human.

    Cunts like this lose value every time they talk.

    Are we talking a per pore basis or more like a per square inch of skin thing? Does this mean women with larger faces are more valuable so long as a higher proportion of face is covered vs uncovered? I'm just trying to understand their obviously completely logical and rational point of view here.

    Good point. The last thing you want is a woman whose face has been used up by being looked at a bunch of times.

    Every single one of these Taliban men was birthed by a woman, nursed by one, and mostly raised by one.

    Women, if you raise your son's to be Muslim they will treat your daughter's like this. Tell them that there is no Allah, tell them that Abdul and Mohammad were wicked, tell them that the Imam is a shaman. Tell them the truth before it's too late.

    No, not all Muslims treat their daughters like this. Too many do, yes, but not all. Look at Indonesia, for example, or many Western countries which have Muslim populations. It's partly religion, partly culture.

    Hi know good muslim people, so it's not just that.

    That said, plenty of issues come down to religion in general, with a few exceptions here and there.

    It is amazing to me how different the views are. One on side you got Westerner apologists whose knowledge of Islam is what they half remember from a video they saw on YouTube ten years ago on the other hand you have the Taliban. Both sides claim to know what real Islam is about. Well sorry not sorry I am going to believe the people who live with the Koran vs you.

    You know good Muslims? I do as well. Does that make the tenents of Islam good? I don't think so. Does that make them true? Nope. All you can really say is that you know people who aren't following their own religion and as a result they are good people.

    Correct, and the same for Christianity. The doctrines are really quite similar in their treatment of minorities. The only difference in that respect is that one doctrine says to just kill them, and the other says to exile and shun them (but stoning for some), or torment them mentally and emotionally until they abandon their beliefs and conform to the doctrine of the church.

    The tenets of Islam are pretty good tho - pray a lot every day, give money to the poor, do a pilgrimage - it's the historic and contemporary leadership, culture, violence, and precedence that are bad

    Praying is talking to yourself because there is no god to hear it.

    I'd say the 7th century wants its values back but on the other hand, no, it probably doesn't.

    "I kinda like mysterious women."

    "I totally agree! They totally lose value if other people can see their face in public."

    "Wait what? No, not like that..."

    When you’re a worthless, ignorant, fundamentalist, once dickhead- you’ll say anything to make it look like you have any kind of value at all. If hell was real, these guys would fucking rot there.

    How much value is a nose? Just a nose? Like in USD.

    Sounds like if they would get less cows for them when selling them on a market, after their face was revealed.

    Welcome to islam. Maybe start teaching science and logic rather than religion and you'll have less nut bags.

    When it comes to losing worth for showing ones face, the guy in the picture should be the first to wear a sack over his head. With most of his taliban cronies following suit.
