The lefty progressives have nothing to say right now, maybe later on

You may wonder why Trump negotiated this withdrawal.

In Islam, the men own the women. Education would erode this situation and bring Islam into question. And that is why that fellow got 20years in jail in the Islamic kingdom of Saud.

And while we are on the subject of Islam, is Amnesty International, or any of the authorities calling for Taliban war crimes trials? Or is that just for our troops?

"You may wonder why Trump negotiated this withdrawal."

And Biden carried it out - abandoning the girls to their fate, under a ridiculous and harsh Islamic ideology. What excuse does girl sniffing Biden have for being such a mongrel?

what the bugger do you want them to say? The taliban are dam morons and those from the left have been saying that for years.

The more concerning question is why do the right use The Taliban and their practices as their yard stick?

Surely you can set your standards higher then that? ::)

Would another 20 years and trillions of more dollars made a difference to that schithole? That seems to be what you are saying. It was a fragile, propped-up state that and that is all it ever could have been.

Strangely though, not a single conservative will do the same thing.

That is because all of Islam is not like the Taliban.

I don't know why you lot can't get that through your heads.

Yea well.  In last week's news it was reported that a father grabbed his newborn daughter and stabbed her to death

why?  Because he wanted a boy

which country?

India

Same week, six or so members of a family here in Australia murdered or attempted to murder a young university student.  They all stabbed her

why?  because she'd fallen in love with a Christian boy from the same university

the girl had been either promised or married in India -- probably as a child

Media's keeping it quiet.  Haven't seen a word about it since

If millions of people use what happened 1400 years ago as the yardstick to judge what they should do today, then it is going to be relevant whether you like it or not.

The Quran is a load of poppycock, as is the bible, the Tanakh or any other book that preaches about a 'god'. I prefer to judge people by their actions. Take you for example, I find you far less trustworthy than many Muslims I've dealt with over the years.

You've got that the wrong way around, again. The ONLY thing that is relevant to me is my yardstick. That is what I base my opinions on. Not something you think should be my yardstick just because many say it's theirs.

Being neither left-wing or right-wing, I seem to avoid being labelled.

However, if you cannot see how Muslims are controlling females, even in Australia, then you really have no right to comment on this issue. Muslims in Australia are law-abiding in general because they are required to be law-abiding in Australia. However, if these same people were living in a Muslim dominated country, the laws there would probably make it more permissible to beat up their women and hinder women's rights there.

The children of Muslim immigrants to Australia seem to have this idea that they are above the law, due to the "softly, softly" approach the police take towards them being minorities. When Australian born Muslims have this idea that killing or raping non-Muslims is not against the law, it is difficult to consider that they would be law-abiding people any more than most other groups in Australia.

Afghanistan has a generation of people that did not experience the troubles that the Taliban caused their parents' generation. Remember the footage of teenage girls begging to be let on the plane to get out of the country? Those teenage girls were scared that they were going to be sex slaves to the Taliban returning to power. The idea of being denied an education is secondary compared to the rape, torture and murder of Afghan teenage girls.

Yes, no school for girls, and women should cover their indecent bodies. But teach boys the evils of Islam as virtues. In the mean time, lets try our soldiers as war criminals for doing what was needed, and lets send economic aid to the Taliban because they cannot run a country even moderately well.

We gave them a 20 year long chance NOT to have the Taliban over them.  They folded and submitted to the Taliban a week after the West left. The population is even more fundamentally Islamic than the Saudis or Pakistanis. They will choose Ramadan over Pride Month.

Afghanistan's population = 40 million. Taliban membership = about 75 thousand. That's 0.2 %.

I would be concerned about the Taliban sympathisers and the neighbouring countries that wanted the Taliban back in power in Afghanistan. It would actually be too difficult for the 75,000 Taliban members to take back power of authority over Afghanistan if there were not implicit or explicit support by millions in the region.

You are a worthless ignorant piece of faeces.  What I said is true, so you cried

Narges is a 26-year-old high school teacher and women’s rights activist from Kabul. She lost her job when the Taliban closed her school, but is secretly teaching teenage girls. She is desperate to get out. “All my life has fallen,” she says. “All my dreams are gone. My heart is ­completely broken. Before the Taliban I felt like I was flying, now my wings are broken.”

During the time that I am in communication with her she receives terrible news. The family had pooled what little money they had to help her 15-year-old brother escape and establish a beachhead in Europe to support his family. He made it to Turkey and then boarded a boat bound for Greece. It appears that the boat has sunk. Her family has been desperately trying to call authorities in Greece, “but the police said they couldn’t find any ship”.

She sends me a message on WhatsApp. “You know Greg, there is no family in Afghanistan that hasn’t got a situation like this. Every parent is trying to get their children and boys out even though it is very dangerous. It is so awful for my mother right now. This is the reality of Afghanistan now. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t a girl. I wish I wasn’t born in Afghanistan. It is too difficult to be a woman and a mother in Afghanistan… I want to leave this hell.”
