But the government doesn't control most of the country. In the areas that they don't control, women are still forced to wear the burqa and still segregated. On top of that, they are subjected to forms of sexual abuse and assault, as well as other un islamic punishments. I'd challenge you to prove me that Women as a whole are better off post-taliban.The warlords are supported by deep tribal allegiances, like Somalia, that are difficult to debase. Each and every day Afghanistan is nonetheless making progress towards equality, and to suggest that women were better off under the taliban is ridiculous. Women were literally imprisoned in their houses nationwide and couldn't leave without being escorted by a male. Women Working was banned, and a girl going to school was an inconceivable idea. How can you "respect" people who forced such jahilnimo on people violently?While you might be right about Kabul, the fact of the matter is that the same old warlords (reminds of you somalia innit) control most of the country. In these areas, women are subjected to sexual and other forms of abuse. I remember reading an article which concluded that the status of women had gotten WORSE post-taliban. Women in these areas are still forced to wear the burqa, but unlike in the taliban days, they are subjected to abuse etc.
My view of the taliban is like AL-shabaab: While i respect their intentions in someform, the way they go about things turns me against them.
The reason why i respect the Taliban's end game is because the Americans invaded their country because they refused to sell out their Muslim brother. If you know anything about the diin of Islam, you should know that even if your brother is in the wrong, you do not give him to the enemy. I don't like the way they go about things (just like Al-shabaab), but that doesn't mean they don't have the right to fight.
, you shouldn't want it for the Afghan people either.
