Taliban Forcibly Take Away Young Girl Despite Protests As Dark Days Return For Women in Afghanistan

[Rustyeye77]

sickening.

[Rustyeye77]

1. Kind of takes on a whole new meaning when you see it.

But of course , its none of our business.

The girl is now a sex slave.

As i've been saying..If the US stands for something, now is the moment.

Flame away...I'm almost getting used to it.

[JI7]

3. How do you change the culture ?

[JI7]

2. This happens in Pakistan also. Girls brought up in UK

are sometimes tricked into going to Pakistan for a regular visit but ended up being forced to marry someone.

Hindu girls are kidnapped and forced to convert and marry Muslim men.

Christian girls are sold to Chinese men looking for brides.

The problem is the culture.

How do you change that ?

[Rustyeye77]

4. We cant change the world.

But we can stop this atrocity and yes,war crime, in Afghanistan.

[edhopper]

10. How?

How many troops do you want to return to Afghanistan?
How much longer should the stay?
Don't you think this will happen whenever we leave?

[Rustyeye77]

17. I dont have all the answers for you.

The taliban are monsters.

I hope we are better than leaving these women to become sex slaves.

What the hell do we stand for if not against this atrocity.

[edhopper]

27. I understand how upset you are

It's not that you are wrong to be. But outside of hundreds of thousands of troops, and permanent occupation, I don't think we can fix this.
And unfortunately, they will now breed terrorists who will probably attack us.
This was screwed up from the beginning under Bush.

[Rustyeye77]

28. Ok

I know you feel just as sick about this as I am.

[cinematicdiversions]

33. So do we invade Bangladesh? Do we invade India? Do we invade Iran?

It is the culture and the people there.

We are talking over a billion people. What exactly should we do? Kill them all? Arrest them?

[JI7]

18. This is what I have asked. I'm not opposed to helping including staying in longer

but we need to know what is their solution if we did stay???

[SweetieD]

8. Happens in the Caucus region a lot too.

[JI7]

12. Yes, many of these don't have press freedom and already horrible in women's rights

but we don't hear about it much.

But women who escaped have told their stories.

[Percy]

11. The difference is the scale.

What you describe is not government sanctioned although they do turn a blind eye to it. It is terrible but it happens in relatively isolated areas and in relatively small numbers.

The Taliban is terrorizing the ENTIRE FEMALE POPULATION of Afghanistan. And their goal is for their beliefs to spread throughout the region ... and well beyond.

This is not cultural, this is state sanctioned terrorism.

[Rustyeye77]

13. State sponsored War crime and atrocity.

[JI7]

14. Yes, but that IS still cultural. The same way white supremacy is part of US culture

[joetheman]

5. We should have just armed the women beginning in 2010.

Trained and armed women would have been a better choice than training and arming the men. I believe they would have fought the Taliban harder, not sold out so quickly. They would have been fighting for their children and their own lives. The Afghan men , not so much.

[DET]

6. Interesting Point

I’ve wondered about that. This is just heartbreaking.

[Rustyeye77]

7. Maybe

I'm sure these girls would rather be dead fighting than become a sex slave of a disgusting taliban.

[Percy]

19. True.

They are defenseless.

[JI7]

21. Yes , THIS

[Deminpenn]

32. Thought the same thing

nt

[Rustyeye77]

9. This goes against every fiber in my body.

I cannot accept we are leaving these people to these vile disgusting taliban..

Who wouldnt ,if they had a gun, blow that monsters head off.

[lpbk2713]

15. Playing with dollies last week.

Unspeakable horror this week.

WTF is wrong with this world?

[Rustyeye77]

25. + 1000

[JI7]

16. If it's not cultural, why isn't the Muslim world protesting ?

remember the protests over cartoons and against Israel recently ?

Why isn't there that same outrage.

I have seen more anger and hatred at France over a hijab ban .

[cinematicdiversions]

34. Because it is cultural... and not just Muslim. India and Myanmar have similar issues. NT

[Calculating]

23. Well maybe the Afghanistan army should have fought for their new freedoms

Instead of throwing down their arms and giving the country back to the Taliban.

[tavernier]

24. Why don't their fathers and brothers who are armed better

than the Taliban protect her?

[Rustyeye77]

26. I wish the hell I knew .

Blast these bastards out of their misery.

[Beausoleil]

30. Kind of explains a lot

They would rather join the taliban than defend what they don't believe in.

[JoanofArgh]

29. Afghan army better get on it.

We’re done. Unfortunately, this exists in many countries all over the world.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

31. There is no "Afghan army", just threw down their weapons and went home, goodbye Saigon
