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.

      Ah yes, but other ideologies which have been destructive are not? I hope you’ll be consistent in pointing out the secular states of today continue to wreak havoc, death and destruction in the middle east and Africa. (Let’s not forget colonialism)

      And the secular atheist communist states of Russia and China, those didn’t commit ethnic cleansing and killed millions of people?

      I’ll just mention the destruction that the USSR brought to Kazakhstan that lingers to this day as an example.

      Why do you jump to religion and not simply conclude that the Talibans are massive incels? You do realize that out of two billion Muslims only the Taliban are doing this shit right? Malala is calling them un-Islamic for a reason.

        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.

          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.
