Just another International Socialist outfit like 'Medecins sans Frontieres', the various UN agencies, a score of international 'charity' organisations, the 'Climate Change/Global Warming' juggernaut, etc.

There's no such thing as a 'moderate' Muslim in Islam. You're a Muslim who follows the teachings of Mohammud or you're a kaffir. All one needs to do is look at the life and deeds of Mohammud...

I've seen the lovely photos of hip and groovy Afghanistan.

The fact is, that was a very brief and very quickly gained flirtation with modernity.

To get to that point show in the photos, they had no solid foundation of a long and slowly gained history of secularism or path to modernity. It was transplanted there from somewhere else.  For them it was an aberration in their history.

It would be nice if it had stuck, but it's returned to it's natural order.

Their natural order for the foreseeable future is pure, brutal Islam.

The region is completely devoid of morals when it comes to women and women's rights.

Killing a woman in a market in Afghanistan is not an aberration.

Now before we continue lets discuss some western history.

The Salem Witch trials were less than 150 years ago but that was in a puritanical vestige of the USA.

Witchcraft punishment ceased 300 years ago in England.
Not that long ago in the context of the 200k year history of Homo Sapiens but long enough for it to be considered ancient history in the context of one person.

So now lets jump back to 2016, in fact  just one month ago.


Pakistan religious leaders slam women's protection act
Act by Punjab state gives legal protection to women suffering from domestic, psychological, and sexual violence.


The Women's Protection Act, passed by Pakistan's largest province of Punjab last week, gives legal protection to women from domestic, psychological and sexual violence.

The law also calls for the creation of a free abuse-reporting hotline and the establishment of women's shelters.

Since its passage in the Punjab assembly, some conservative religious leaders have denounced the new law as being in conflict with the Quran, as well as Pakistan's constitution.

Fazlur Rehman, the leader of one of Pakistan's largest religious parties, the Jamiat-i-Ulema Islam, said the law was in conflict with both Islam and the country's constitution.

"This law makes a man insecure," Reuters quoted him as saying. "This law is an attempt to make Pakistan a Western colony again."

The whole law is wrong,"  Muhammad Khan Sherani , the head of the Council of Islamic Ideology, said at a news conference, in which he claimed the law was "un-Islamic".

How does the Taliban differ from the Saudis,Boko Haram,Al Shaabab or the Islamic state in treatment of women?

Correct.

There's no wriggle-room in Islam, and that's because the sacred texts are the literal Word of Allah.
