Afghan Women Fear the Return of the Taliban

[resistingrexmundi]

The following is an abridged version of an article that appears in the Aug. 9, 2010, print and iPad editions of TIME magazine.

The Taliban pounded on the door just before midnight, demanding that Aisha, 18, be punished for running away from her husband's house. Her in-laws treated her like a slave, Aisha pleaded. They beat her. If she hadn't run away, she would have died. Her judge, a local Taliban commander, was unmoved. Aisha's brother-in-law held her down while her husband pulled out a knife. First he sliced off her ears. Then he started on her nose.

This didn't happen 10 years ago, when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan. It happened last year. Now hidden in a secret women's shelter in Kabul, Aisha listens obsessively to the news. Talk that the Afghan government is considering some kind of political accommodation with the Taliban frightens her. "They are the people that did this to me," she says, touching her damaged face. "How can we reconcile with them?"

What western peacenick Muslims - that those in the middle east cradle of the religion correctly consider apostate - don't seem to understand is that reprobate thugs like the Taliban, are obviously exactly who would compose the last sect of Islam standing.
What falsely indoctrinated, deluded, western peacenick apostate is going to argue with his misguided words, against the reprobate's swords, and their correct understanding of the Quran and Hadith while following in their prophets own footsteps?

Sura 2:223 your wives are as tilth (farmland) unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will.

Sura (4:34) - Men are the maintainers of women ... and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 715: Narrated 'Ikrima: Rifa'a divorced his wife whereupon 'AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. 'Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's Apostle came, 'Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!"



I doubt that Time magazine would have ever run an article like this, if they hadn't been trying to save Obama's bacon, for continuing to be in Afghanistan.
How many human rights abuses stories did they run about Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War?

Mutilated Afghan girl Aisha in US for new nose

"The cover has generated much discussion in the US The Afghan girl featured on a controversial Time magazine cover is in the US to have her nose rebuilt. Aisha told Time her nose and ears had been cut off - with the approval of a Taliban commander - by her abusive husband as punishment for running away. The front cover generated debate over the headline "What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan" and the use of the photo itself.

Her surgery is being done by the Grossman Burn Foundation in California.
The foundation campaigns on the issue of violence against women as well as doing free plastic surgery work.
Aisha, whose surname has not been revealed, will meet surgeon Peter Grossman next week to discuss the reconstruction of her nose. The 18-year-old was reportedly given away by her family in childhood as a "blood debt" and was subsequently married to a Taliban fighter. His family abused her and she ran away but was recaptured and mutilated by her husband. Women for Afghan Women has been using Aisha's case to illustrate the fear of what will happen if US, British and other international forces leave prematurely. The Afghan-American group helps to run the shelter which took Aisha in............"

The fact is that all Muslims from all over the world are cheering on being ruled by the Taliban, or by whatever sect replaces them, as the most violent and reprobate.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude who would ultimately prevail. Would it be the deluded western peacenick Islamic apostates that have created their own Islam, or the true Muslims in the cradle of the religion that get Islam and engage in slaughter as their prophet did, that would readily cut peacenick apostates heads for for being apostate?

Gee I wonder why the women would fear the return of the Taliban?
