Actually I was looking for a claim of responsibility _from_ the Taliban, not from Western propaganda outlets.

Yes we all know the Western propaganda outlets claim all manner of atrocities in the name of the West's enemies, but given their track record of outright lying, I don't think it's worth the electrons it's printed on.

Obviously. Otherwise they would be in a situation where invading American forces are the ones restoring Islamic standards. Then even more local Muslims would prefer the American invaders to the Taliban.

How widely?

Are they still segregated? Can you elaborate on what counts as a "girl's school"?

Quote:


I think it is important. Why do you think education is so unimportant? Or is it only female education that is unimportant? The Taliban has done immense harm to a genration of Afghans by denying a basic education to so many of them. Why would they seek to make the place even more backwards and ignorant?

Also, you still have not explained why it is not a victory for the west. In my opinion it is something really good that has come out of the war on terror.

They were forbidden to work.leave the house without a male escort,not allowed to seek medical help from a male doctor,and forced to cover themselves from head to toe even covering the eyes.
Women who were doctors and teachers were forced to be beggars and even prostitutes in order to feed their families.
During the rule of the Taliban,women were treated worse than in any other time or by any other society

Restrictions aimed at making women safe from the attacks and abductions that had been widespread under the rule of Western-backed warlords.

Baronvonrort wrote on Mar 3^rd, 2012 at 5:43pm:

Untrue, the Taliban themselves employed women in areas such as healthcare, police work, and customs/immigration work. The Taliban were reportedly considering lifting some of the restrictions on working in other areas before the US invasion.

Baronvonrort wrote on Mar 3^rd, 2012 at 5:43pm:
The Taliban had a policy that women should seek out female doctors and nurses first, and if they were not available, then a male doctor could be seen.

Baronvonrort wrote on Mar 3^rd, 2012 at 5:43pm:

In the urban areas, due to the rape and abduction of women by Western-backed warlords. By 2001, as safety had improved, the Taliban were beginning to relax the rules on clothing.

You can't get your lies straight. Women were not allowed out without a male guardian, or they were out prostituting and begging? Make up your mind.

Baronvonrort wrote on Mar 3^rd, 2012 at 5:43pm:

What a load of crap. The Taliban provided security and safety.

Before the Taliban arrived, Afghani women were being killed, raped and abducted by US-sponsored warlords.

We have seen similar situations in Europe, like when the Soviets occupied Germany and raped 2 million women.

I suppose you think that Jewish women were treated well by European Christians in the 1940's. The Nazi sex factories, and death camps were a stroll in the park.

The Christian Serbs and their rape camps.

The Taliban provided safety and security and were attempting to improve the difficult circumstances that the Afghan were in.

Does spraying acid in face of girls who attend school improve safety?

Why not leave it up to the women to decide for themselves what safety precautions are necessary? If it was the western backed warlords who were raping these women, why did they need to be 'protected' when the Taliban came into power?

Ummm.... first you'd need to show the Taliban did that.

Because the West continued funding these beasts right up until they finally brought them back to power.
