Religious extremism is generally the death of women's freedom. All throughout history the first group to lose rights and privileges when a major wave of religious fever took place were women.

Religious extremism is anti-feminism. For men who hate women

need to , religion causes more problems than it solves , i dont need the teachings of Jesus to tell me how to be a good person , just treat others the way you want treating

The only thing that religion brings to a country is suffering for people. All traditional religions go against basic human rights.

That's OK, Jo, it's hard not to repeat those sentiments, knowing the treatment and conditions that they're enduring now!

It's worth repeating.

Religions are a magnet for crazy and extremism

Religion in general breeds extremism and is tolerated within the religion.

And I upvoted again :)

You are still right!

In every country.

Especially Christian fundamentalists

Political extremism too, take a deep breath yada yada

You do know that what destroyed Afghanistan was an invasion by the atheist Soviet Union, right?

The patriarchy is responsible for untold deaths; not culture alone, but women (their ideals, hopes, aspirations ...).

Jo, my uncle lived in Afghanistan at that time. He was a doctor for the state department. He has returned to Kabul every year since leaving, with a few exceptions, to educate doctors there about new medical testing, procedures, etc. These pictures may be shocking to us, but the changes in Afghanistan were even more shocking to those who lived them. My uncle is incredibly saddened by the changes in a country he loved.

Worth repeating!

Preach it.

Sometimes it's worth repeating 😔

And the deaths, rapes and ultimate crushing of humanity- for women. Why must men be in charge anywhere.. look where it continues to get us. War, religious extremists, violence, repetitive retaliation of violence, nuclear bombs that could wipe out humanity 10 times over. All to stroke the fragile male ego. Women need a turn, a chance to get it right- in every country, to reshape with compassion and general contemplative and analytical thought. We’ve waited long enough. Brut strength and a leg up in privilege/money/male/family connections, is not a reason to be in power any longer. Pass the torch.

IV recently helped an Iranian women get help here and the stories and photos are horrific (they were Christian so add that into the pot) how we can allow religion to treat people in such a way .. but then we have Ireland ! And all the other crusades .. religion has a bad rep

Sometimes repetition works if said often enough.

When you're right, you're right.

The US is on its way...

this is no representation of the Afghan people. these are the bourgeoisie not the people (I know I am repeating myself)

Just like any other non religious extremist

It bears repeating. Unfortunately, some people won't understand how your generalization is apt, since it's applicable to all religious people in all countries (including the US).

Still right on!

Repeating ones self is the only way to make people understand. Repeat it again

It is worth repeating

Can't be said enough imo..."no more schools for you, it's back to the home and off the streets with you wimin"

But, you are absolutely correct!

Yes you are but so has history.

Knowing makes the difference.

Or maybe US interventionism gives a more powerful voice to extremism.

Yup and many still are doing it.

still can't be upvoted enough!

So true though 😔

It's still true

yes...but absolutely true!

what is an extremist

Apparently capitalism too if you're looking at what happened to the library of Cincinnati

Islam is the religion of Peace. By the way a precious things are keep covered, not to exposed.Like diamonds are always covered with some thing like clothes. It is choice of muslims ladies who see them and how much.🤨

It's ok, so do they

it is infuriating isn't it!!!

There are so many cultures in the world. Which culture do you consider a culture? The western influence has killed more cultures around the world than religious extremism did. Religious extremism in Asia was actually a protest against the killing of their culture by the western influence.

You mean it's the death of the culture you like. Pretty centrist to assume that this culture is the better one because it's what you're more familiar with.

Yes please stop repeating yourself because you seem to be an narrow mind person to think that walking in a bikini or wearing a skirt is correct representation of freedom

Lack of religion is the death of culture. Religious extremism is the death of freedom. Swap religion for politics and the statements are still true. Everything must come in moderation.

And not all are the same, don't make broad generalizations that tend to be rooteted in Modern European Neo-Colonialism. Depends what religion, what place, and what time.

And it's so depressing that they can't even do this simplest thing as in the photo! Walk around with their friends wearing typical women's clothes

And then put them in power as a recognized "government"!
