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.

    religion is in itself a ridiculous premise, and the type is largely irrelevant (islam/christianity).

    they are a disease that should be eradicated. humanity will never move forward with such archaic ideas.

      It also specifically should be mentioned how Judaism is a disease. People think Judaism is somehow “better” or “more tolerant”, as a Jewish person myself I can personally confirm that Judaism is just as capable of oppression and violent hatred (just look at Ben Gvir).

      Ok will you be consistent and mention the same of other ideologies that have wreaked havoc? By the way you associate things you have to acknowledge the death and destruction brought upon by secular and atheist states from colonialism to modern day imperialism.

      I’ll list some examples of states that caused a lot of death and destruction:

      • USSR a secular atheist state that killed millions and committed ethnic cleansing. (One ex. Is what they did in Kazakhstan)

      • USA and France and their invasion of Vietnam

      • All that was done by secular states in the colonial era

      • all that is being currently by secular states in the neo colonial era

      • US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

      • Russian invasion of Ukraine

      I can keep going.

      Okay I’ve seen militant atheism, but this is even beyond that. This is actually fucking stupid and you should learn literally anything about Islam before you make these moronic claims.

        all religions were created by con artists. theyre just tools used to control other humans. its nothing more than that.

        islam itself founded by a pedophilic warlord. volume of the indoctrinated is irrelevant. kinda funny how the best predictor of which of these cults any particular human follows is geography.

          Do you understand how moronic you’re sounding right now? If I was atheist this would embarrassing to read.

            o0o0 sick burn. hard to refute reality.

            every holy book has been written by humans with something to gain in their use. christianity responsible for some of the largest swaths of dead humans in the crusades. the bible crafted by carefully selected passages by humans across millennia. even modern bullshit like mormonism and scientology, created by documented con artists. but oh no, yours is the ‘one true’ religion.

            all religions are false Except yours, right? cuz yours is somehow special?

        The other guy is a propaganda-slurping American “atheist”. You can easily tell he’s not even talked to a Muslim, or probably even any immigrant who has a faith, in real life. He just assumes everyone is like his from-birth American neighbors. Like… he won’t even ask them why they believe he’ll just assume the worst in humans. It’s unfortunate.
