Afghan schoolgirls are weeping as they finish sixth grade, knowing their education is over. Under Taliban rule, they are unlikely to ever step foot in a classroom again.
What’s the relation? Nothing in Islam forbids female education.
The only point of contention you can have with it is that it enforces segregated male and female schooling but it doesn’t ban female education. Since schooling was already segregated in Afghanistan there is no religious reason for the Taliban to close those schools.
The Taliban sadly has heavy elements of tribalism that are not religiously but culturally motivated.
You’re missing the point where religion is always (ab)used to control the masses for whatever point you want. Want to go to war? God hates the enemy and wants you to fight! Oeipoemdie due to poverty caused by government mismanagement? It’s gods will. Want to stop girls from attending school? That is just the way that god wants it baby, sucks to be you!
As well described in another comment thread, Quran literally encourages everyone to learn, with no gendered distinction made.
You may easily write off bigotry on religion, but it’s literally them doing some crazy shit and covering with religion that clearly says not to do this.
That’s same as many American Christians literally ignoring the Bible, but this time way more consequential. Bigots will stick to religion as an instrument of power and hope nobody actually reads the sacred books, because they never said all those things. Should there be no religion, they’d use something else.
That is not to say religions are flawless. But bigotry just uses religion as a cover, it doesn’t come from it.
No, it DOES have to do with religion we are NOT in politically correct feel good land here. Welcome to reality where religion and communism is USED to TERRORIZE human kids and adults.
For the bigots out here, this is just the Taliban being incels. Nothing related to religion, if anything a lack of religious knowledge.

Religion is the vehicle of monstrosity
It truly is. In all it’s forms and shapes.
Religion is like comunism, the idea is good! But the execution is always dependant on the human factor, who abuse these systems without control.
How is the idea of religion good? Sure, it may provide some people some comfort, but it can’t tell you things that are true.
As you said, Desperate people need hope.
The organized part is where the trouble comes in.
I guess the Americans Genocide in Palestine is just a very religious crusade. Must be Jesus’s fault!
I cannot tell if this argument is for, against, or just dumb
It’s about as logical as I’d expect from someone trying to defend religion.
Who knows. All these secular nations are the most moral until they do evil stuff then it’s religion’s fault.
You have got to be kidding with this one right? No one can be that dense

Some people will do anything to lick the Taliban’s boots.
Oh yes, it’s “religion is not a at fault” right here.
