Taliban Vows It Is Returning To Stoning Women To Death In Public
The Taliban vowed in a message to the West over the weekend that it will soon return to stoning women to death in public.
“You say it’s a violation of women’s rights when we stone them to death,” said Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, according to The Telegraph. “But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery. We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public.”
“These are all against your democracy but we will continue doing it,” he continued. “We both say we defend human rights – we do it as God’s representative and you as the devil’s.”
The publication said that these remarks are the most extreme that he has made since the Biden administration effectively handed over control of Afghanistan to the Taliban during President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdraw from the country in August 2021.
The report noted that the Taliban reverted to its old extreme methods of punishment almost immediately after taking over, including carrying out public executions and beating people.
“Do women want the rights that Westerners are talking about? They are against Sharia and clerics’ opinions, the clerics who toppled Western democracy,” he said. “I told the Mujahedin that we tell the Westerners that we fought against you for 20 years and we will fight 20 and even more years against you.”
“It did not finish [when you left]. It does not mean we would now just sit and drink tea. We will bring Sharia to this land,” he continued. “It did finish after we took over Kabul. No, we will now bring Sharia into action.”
A U.N. report from last year found that 37 people had already been sentenced to stoning under the Taliban regime and that more than 100 had received sentences for “crimes against God”, according to Fox News. Some of the punishments included lashings and having walls knocked down on individuals.

@JSul3 I am suggesting nothing. I believe that when we take the log out of our eye we can see more clearly to take the speck out of our brother's eye. I don't agree with stoning women. I don't agree with allowing men into women's sports or dressing rooms.
@JSul3 The problem is that the women in the men's change rooms are there as part of their job. They are not pretending to be men. Maybe you can see the difference
@hippyjoe1955 Why is it so important for you to support the oppression of people who aren't harming anyone?
Answer the question. Do you want Buck Angel to use the ladies room next to your wife and daughter? I notice that the anti-trans crowd likes to focus on trans women, but they forget that trans men exist.
@Lila15 I'm not oppressing anyone. I am simply going with the knowledge that has been part of mankind since Adam and Eve. In the beginning God created man. Male and Female created He them. People with mental issues don't need to destroy things like women's sports.
@hippyjoe1955 Nobody is "destroying" women's sports. I'll bet you couldn't think of half a dozen trans athletes without looking them up. And you're complaining about "mental illness" when you believe a fairy tale with no evidence outside of the Bible.
However, since you claim to believe this, can you explain the exact mechanism by which God created male and female? God is a disembodied intellect (something we've never observed in nature, by the way), so how did he affect material reality? Be specific. You're presenting this as a scientific theory, so you can't just say "he did it," you should be able to explain how he did it.
@sunsporter1649 I am not a good swimmer while my wife is a very good swimmer. She won races across western Canada. She is also a life guard. One day she challenged me to a race. I won handily. When I was dating her one of her girlfriends wanted to arm wrestle me. I could easily move her arm back and forth like I was wiping windows with her arm. Having men compete in women's sports destroys women's sports.
@hippyjoe1955 Can you give me half a dozen examples of trans women "destroying" women's sports? Aren't you getting a little dramatic? What's hilarious is that most of the men bleating about this, couldn't care less about women's sports. Remember Brittany Griner? The reason she was competing in Russia to begin with was because she wasn't making enough money in the US, so she went over there in the off season as apparently there is a lucrative audience for women's basketball in Russia. I remember how the same conservatives who complain endlessly about trans women in women's sports were gloating over how Griner was detained and repeating "do the crime, do the time." Of course, that doesn't apply to Evan Gershkovich.
Your desire to "protect" women's sports by excluding trans athletes rings hollow when you couldn't care less about the pay differential compared to men's sports.
@hippyjoe1955 What difference does that make? Maybe since you’re not a professional athlete either, you shouldn’t express an opinion about this either. Especially since your opinion is based on your religious beliefs rather than any objective knowledge.
