    There was a 'deep past cause' behind this negative matter that really occured.
    So therefore in what we can see or hear; As a consequence of this, we are witnessing
    the present day effects; Which is beyond physical reform and comprehension.

    It is quite obvious that these people need 'sincere genuine help' and positive support;
    I highly recommend to anyone, to pay a vist to these three websites.

    koran insists on educating the woman as they are the future of the nation as they mould the destiny of a humanity by being the mother -and thus must be educated -

    the talibanistan is a result of a degenerate war and utter poverty resulting from the degenerate last 3 decades and do not reflect any islamic model or koran

    AFGHANISTAN HAS BECOME A MISERABLE AND RAVAGED RUIN WITH TOTAL POVERTY AND NO INFRASTRUCTURE

    The problem is, if these girls get an education and make something of themselves, they stand a good chance of being murdered. If they don't get an education and make something of themselves, they risk being put in bondage through an arranged marriage. It seems to me that no matter what they do, they're going to have their rights trampled, simply because they live in a Muslim country.

    Maybe the West should make an offer to the Muslim World - we'll take all your women. That should make all Muslim men think twice about continuing their outrageous oppression of women and make quite a few fellows in the West very, very happy.

    I don't understand, does it say in the Qu'ran that children of both sexes shouldn't be educated?
    Or is it a man's rule because they are afraid that someone might be smarter than they are?
    Didn't they vote recently that a wife has to have sex with her husband so many times a week
    as he wishes it? Why would a religion take all the women's and girls rights and be oppresssed?
    What if it was women throwing acid into men's faces or what if they armed themselfves and
    shoot men in self defense. In their position I would be so fed up with men's stupid decisions that
    have nothing to do with religion that I probably would revolte that way, have a taste of your
    own medecine, how do you like it now that the roles are reversed? They are just rat-bastards.

    afghanistan IS NOW TALIBANISTAN thanks to the USA WHO CONVENIENTLY forgot about it after using them to break up the soviet russia in 1989 -
    it FESTERED FOR 12 YEARS AND THEN ERUPTED IN AMERICAS FACE AS A VIOLENT BEAST BENT ON REVENGE -
    for indeed god is great and just -
    the fact that AFGHANISTAN IS PROVING TO BE A VIETNAM FOR OBAMA TOO IS A TERRIBLE PRICE TO PAY BUT even though i have no sympathy for taliban i have none for americans in this complex equation which they have created in a self made CATCH -22

    In Pakistan we developed a very simple women run education system that men admire. This is because it improves the conditions by educating them how to be better mothers, problem solvers and contributors. They read poetry to their families, teach their children to read, and become teachers to open new schools. Too many programs miss the essential element of showing respect to the culture, so they are rejected. Little World Community Organization gets little attention because it is out of the box yet the idea works. Thousands are joining and conditions are improving without conflict. The only help these women need from us is to sell the simple things they make so they can pay for books, rent, and materials themselves. Anyone can do this and the effort is far more powerful than charity. www.lwco.org

    the taliban do not seem to ever have been educated and are a band of warriors from the rural afghan backyard -the fact it has become a popular revolution has to BLAMED ON NATO and foreign influx from 1980 onwards after the soviets walked into AFGHANISTAN -TERRIBLE TRAGEDY -
    IN 1970s -afghanistan screened everything from BUTCH CASSIDY TO LA DOLCE VITA -and you could buy LADY CHATTERLEY LOVER BY DH LAWRENCE IN KABUL -WHICH WAS BANNED IN U.K -
    who should be blamed for this

    ISLAM NECESSITATES EDUCATION AS ESSENTIAL FOR BOTH SEXES AND ACCORDING TO THE PROPHET -
    IT IS YOUR DUTY TO EDUCATE ALL HUMANITY EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL TO CHINA -WHICH WAS THE HARDEST THING TO DO IN THAT ERA -
    IT is sad that the american soviet war of 30 years has turned afhanistan into TALIBANISTAN -

    It seems to me that the Taliban are a collection of thugs, who ignore the Koran and worship violence. I refer back to Dina Habib Powell's commentary, 'Educate a woman, create a nation'. With nations and real law, the Taliban is nothing! These are men [little boys with a street gang mentality] - who have raped Afghanistan. As rape is not sexual in nature, but a power grab of violence against the vulnerable, the taliban [not I will no longer capitalize this word] is a religion not based on the Koran, but another power grab of violence against the vulnerable.

    Until the true believers in Islam stop and tell these thugs that this in NOT Islam, their rape of Afghanistan will continue -- "ad nauseum".

    How can anyone be o.k. with this? How is it that the world sits and watches stuff like this continue to happen?
    These men keep women and girls locked away at home, veiled in public, educationally ignorant to boost their own twisted, insecure and infantile egos and supposed power under the name of Islam. Nice.
