The GOP wants to establish religious-based laws in America that restrict a woman’s bodily autonomy – her personal #FREEDOM.

#Republicans don't call it Sharia law, but it is similar to what the Taliban is doing in many ways.

#FreedomOfReligion = Freedom FROM religion

The USA is supposed to be a democracy, NOT a theocracy.

Stripping women of their rights leaves them vulnerable to abuse by men.

In Afghanistan, religious-based laws have made it impossible for a woman to survive on her own....

How far will the #GOP go in stripping women of their freedom?

Look, crying against #Taliban #Christian mobs and their supported politicians won't go anywhere.

Women hold the real power. Men cannot pop out a baby no matter how much they cry with gender identification crisis!

So, until we can get American women convinced not to join the Taliban party and keep their legs closed for them, nothing will change.

“It also reports that former Sec. of State #Hillary Clinton personally intervened to help many women whose work in #afghanistan made them potential targets for the #taliban. She directed a group of them to wear white scarfs so they could be identified by US Marines guarding the Kabul airport, & unilaterally contacted world leaders to find places for their eventual evacuation flights to land.”

Color me not surprised.
Whatever else…she cares!🌻

↪ failure of the #US to defeat the #Taliban

The #US military’s strategy of using its financial might as a “weapons system” in the global “war on terror” contributed significantly to its own military failure and to the #Afghan Republic’s downfall

By infusing billions of dollars into purchasing security and securing allegiances of local elites, media, civil society, and communities, the United States inadvertently created an ecosystem ripe for rampant corruption on an unprecedented scale.

ℹ The collapse of the #Afghan government to the #Taliban and subsequent U.S. military withdrawal from #Afghanistan in August 2021 marked the failure of two decades of fighting to root out #terrorism and stabilize the country

In the aftermath of that disaster, the #UnitedStates was quick to blame corrupt #Afghan politicians for the Taliban’s return to power

This narrative, however, misleadingly shifts the attention away from the root causes of the collapse and the ➡

"The #UN special rapporteur on #HumanRights in #Afghanistan, Richard Bennett, said in a June report that the #Taliban might be responsible for #GenderApartheid. This term should stick.

Notably, South Africa’s representative to the U.N.’s Human Rights Council urged the international community to treat gender apartheid “much like it did in support of South Africa’s struggle against racial apartheid.”"

@fulelo

The parallels between the actions of the #Taliban and the actions of the #GOP in the #USA simply begged to be pointed out... again.

Religious extremism is harmful no matter which religion it's associated with. I do not understand why more people in the USA are not fighting against the #ChristianExtremists that are openly trying to destroy the #freedom-from-religious-oppression the USA is supposed to support.

Do they think the #extremists will never come after them/their loved ones?

«Die Ankündigung der #Taliban, dass #Schiiten + andere religiöse Gruppen „falsche“ Religionen seien, setzt Hazaras + andere Schiiten, #Tadschiken und #Paschtunen nun in noch größere Gefahr.

Dies legitimiert Angriffe gegen schiitische Menschen offen als „Freiheit für alle“ + ebnet einen sehr gefährlichen Weg, insbesondere für viele #Hazara, denen bereits ein sehr realer #Völkermord bevorsteht.»

The Taliban say they have signed mining contracts worth $6.5 billion in Afghanistan

> The seven contracts are with locally based companies, many of whom have foreign part-ners in countries including #China, #Iran, and #Turkey. They include the extraction and processing of iron ore, lead, zinc and gold in four provinces: Herat, Ghor, Logar and Takhar. https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/09/01/The-Taliban-say-they-have-signed-mining-contracts-worth-6-5-billion-in-Afghanistan #Turkiye #Afghanistan #Taliban

"The Taliban have applied a doctrine they call fekri jagra, or “war of thoughts,” to purge Afghanistan of the ideas they say have been imposed on the people by foreign powers."

The American Taliban calls those same thoughts: Feminism, Secularism, Democracy, Human Rights and privacy in the bedroom the "Woke Mind Virus"
