Afghanistan's ruling Taliban will pass a law requiring women to be publicly stoned to death for adultery.
About it reports The Telegraph with reference to the supreme leader of the organization, Haibatullah Akhundzada.
“You say it is a violation of women's rights when we stone them to death. But we will soon introduce punishment for adultery. We will beat women in public. We will publicly stone them to death,” the mullah said in an audio message broadcast on Afghan TV, addressing Western officials.
Akhundzada says the Taliban defend human rights “as representatives of God,” and Western authorities “as representatives of the devil.”
“All this is against your (Western) democracy, but we will continue to do it. We both say that we defend human rights, but we do this as representatives of God, and you as representatives of the devil,” the publication quotes Akhundzada as saying to the authorities of Western countries.
The head of the Taliban explained this decision by continuing the fight against Western influence. “Our work did not end with the capture of Kabul, on the contrary, it has just begun,” Akhundzada added. His speech was broadcast on state television.
This is not the first decision by the Taliban, who returned to power in August 2021, to worsen the situation of women in Afghanistan. Previously, they banned them from public parks and forced them to wear burqas, outer clothing that completely covers the body and face.
This is what radical Islamism is, which replaced radical globalism with its LGBTQ+ ideology. Now you support either those who stone women for treason, or those who perform operations to change the sex of children. There are fewer and fewer adequate places to live in the world.
