“You may call it a violation of women’s rights when we publicly stone or flog them for committing adultery because they conflict with your democratic principles,” he said, adding: “[But] I represent Allah, and you represent Satan.”
Satan has a far better human rights record, so yeah, I’m with him on this one.
The Satanic Temple offers after school tutoring for children.
Did Allah really say to stone women to death if they commit adultery??
In every version of “his word,” yes
Religion is a disease
I disagree. Religion is the medium. The true disease is narcissism and psychopathy on one end, and apathy on the other. Individuals with considerable traits of either/both use religion to gain power and manipulate others to further their Machiavellian goals, just like they use any system that concentrates power and control. Others either tolerate, embrace, or even encourage it.
I disagree. Religion tells people how to act. We can see this through thousands of years.
Welcome back to the middle Ages…
“Now, no one is standing beside them to save them from Taliban punishments. The international community has chosen to remain silent in the face of these violations of women’s rights.”
“It should be western supplied and operated drones slaughtering innocent civilians instead”
The implication here is obviously that they support more genocidal intervention policies on behalf of imperialist powers that will ultimately result in for more violence than whatever the Taliban is currently doing.
This is all because the CIA flooded the country with fundamentalist propaganda back in the 80s and it has spilled over into other parts of the region as well.

The source claims that this was to spur “resistance to Soviet Occupation” but the Soviets were merely aiding the social democratic Kabul government at their behest to combat reactionary anti-socialist groups that were small but preexisting.
What this obfuscates is that what people commonly know as the Soviet Afghan war did not become a war until after those fundamentalist elements took power with the help of the CIA and Saudis.
Go away Hexbear propagandist.
they rejected his message because he spoke the truth
none of this would be happening if it wasnt for US imperialism in the region for decades.
Those Soviets were actually really nice guys, just trying to help out!
Helping out with our land, comrade.
Imagine making anyone dress like a fucking ghost
