In a rambling voice message on Monday, the country’s minister for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice announced the bizarre new restriction on women’s behaviour.

This smells more like a country run by incels rather than religion
What else is religion for?
A religion that says when you die you get 72 virgins is founded on treating women like property.
Many religions are like this. In the Bible if you rape a woman you’re punished as if you damaged property.
The “punishment” is the rapist has to marry the victim. The bible punishes the victim.
Username checks out. Still a dumb take that I would expect somewhere in atheistmemes not in a serious community talking about the gender apartheid that a hardcore religious conservative group has imposed. And now it will confuse you that I’m also criticizing them, because who wouldn’t criticize the fucking Taliban, but I’m so tired of this low quality „religion bad“ content when the actual problem is REALLY shitty people.
Remember the Soviets, remember the Nazis, remember Mao? Those guys hated religion and have caused the deaths of literally hundreds of millions. So you wanna criticize religion, go ahead, but please for the sake of the whole community do it like an adult, not like a 14 year old in atheistmemes.
Does the religion believe in the 72 virgins when you die? Yes. Does the religion prescribe treating women like property? Yes.
Everything they said is true, not sure why you’re getting triggered?
Thanks for proving my point
*aggressively jingles keys*
I didn’t say that religion is bad. I said “a religion … treats women like property.” Nobody says that about Jainism. You can’t even say that about satanism. Some religions treat women badly, and others don’t.
Yeah look I’m not going to get into pointless discussions about religions that just going to end up like talking about football teams. You wanna criticize religion as a concept feel free to, but you’ll always end up sounding like you’re 12 when you’re painting with such a broad brush over something like 1.5 billion people. You may not notice in this circle jerk or even the circle jerk that is liberal media but people who tend to have strong simplified opinions on one topic usually have them about others as well. I hope you will experience that the world is more complicated than that and hopefully it will make you think.
It makes me think that you’re not capable of defending your viewpoint, that’s for sure.
They hated religion because they were competition for their own personality cult.
So personality cult and the extremism resulting from it could be the actual problem? I get the point of criticizing the adverse effects that organized religion can have, but especially when it comes to that religion the quality of comments usually goes to elementary school level and it’s not because there’s anything special about it except that you can get into a nice circlejerk because criticizing Islam nowadays is as accepted as it was to criticize Judaism 100 years ago. So again, I’m not saying you can’t criticize religion but for the love of it bring some substance to your argument because as of now I don’t see how this would be any contribution whatsoever to a very serious and disturbing development in Afghanistan.
*corporate wants you to find the difference between these two
I was listening my local radio station and they had a story about how women were banned from speaking in public. One of the guest speakers (mostly, women from Afghanistan) gave a history of how it became like this.
There’s more to it in the story / transcript, but that was the basic premise.
ISLAM!
Christianity too! Women in the Bible are property.
