Summary

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai condemned the Taliban’s treatment of women at a Pakistan summit on girls’ education in Muslim communities, stating, “The Taliban do not see women as human beings.”

She criticized their policies banning Afghan girls from education and work as “gender apartheid” and un-Islamic.

Afghanistan is the only country banning education for girls beyond grade six, affecting 1.5 million girls.

Malala urged Muslim leaders to challenge these practices and advocate for girls’ education globally.

The Taliban declined to attend or comment.

        Who is “you guys” and when did this arming and training happen?

        Not because I doubt it happened, but because it’s happened enough times with enough people that you need to be specific…

          It’s funny how every country is responsible for their actions, except America, cause you guys love to use the shaggy “it wasn’t me” defense towards every atrocity. “It want me, it was that American over there!”

          I think Rambo 3 was the one in Afghanistan, where Rambo joins the Taliban against the Russians, which was written that way to reflect the reality of Americans supporting and training the mujahideen of Afghanistan to oppose Russia. Those mujahideen are what turned into the taliban. America has a great history of training their future enemies

    She can change taliban to Islam at large. Other Arab countries would be doing it to if they thought they could get away with it.
