Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    I’d argue that they represent the word of the Quran more closely than moderate Muslims.

        If they are taking a very strict stance, it means they are deviating the least.

        It’s regrettable that the most fundamentalist groups of any religion produce the most suffering, but that’s what happens when a book promotes/endorses/encourages bigotry.
