Thank you Michelle for standing up by women & for women! Please don’t forget the women of Afghanistan too. I’ve always been inspired by your speeches! Here is a pic from our little conversation at the State dept years back! 🧡

در جامعه ایکه عدالت وجود ندارد، قاضی با فساد اغشته است، مردم نان خوردن شان را ندارند، دسترسی به عدالت و ابتدایی ترین نیازمندی های شان را ندارند، تحمیل شرعیت تنها مردم را دیگر هم از دین شان دور میسازد و دین یک وسیله تحمیل کنترول و ایجاد وحشت است، تحمیل این نوع شرع ظلم است.

The Taliban authorities are using Islam as a tool to oppress people. Enforcing sharia law in a situation where everything else is corrupt, it will only be cruelty & oppression on the poor. Why isn’t the Islamic clerics & educated Muslims resisting the ill naming of Islam in Afgh?

The new morality / vice & virtue “law” by the Taliban is not just problematic for its content but also the enforcement. The moral police / controllers are able to jail anyone or punish anyone based on their own understanding of this law. They have now criminalized being a woman.

اسلام لا دمخه پریکړه کړې چې ښځې او نارینه باید زده کړه وکړي، ولی «اقرا» زموږ پیغمبر صلی الله علیه وسلم ته د الله تعالی لومړی حکم و، د ښځو سره داسی چلند یوازې د اسلام څخه دمخه د جاهلیت د ورځو یادونه ده.

silence of Muslims countries, OIC OIC at UN on misleading & cruel laws ordered by the Taliban to revenge women’s rights is shameful. The silence of Islamic scholars is equally embarrassing as they’re allowing some cruel orders under the name of Islam -Islam needs to be saved.

Congratulations 🙌 to Zakia! And all Afghan women whose wings are cut off & dream of flying. Maybe one day…

The graduation of medical faculty! No single female doctors. This is the Taliban war on women’s access to health and no woman is allowed to see male doctors. Where do the Taliban take their female family members for health care?

It’s disappointing to continue hearing many Afghans all around about asking international community to solve Afghanistan problems. While the int comm can play a role in making things better or worse, the solution to Afghanistan does not come from outside Afghanistan.

Fawzia Koofi Fawzia Koofi is one of the few Afghan female politicians who has stood up for women in all times. Her continues advocacy & raising voices of women is admirable. Anyone using her to make a scene for themselves & make a drama, is only adding to Koofi’s popularity.
