Absolutely heartbreaking

Forcing women to dress a certain way and then attacking those who protest is just unimaginable. How can we keep seeing this happen over and over again?

UN experts demand inquiry after deadly Taliban crackdown on protests over women’s arrests

NEW YORK: UN human rights experts on Thursday condemned the detention by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan of dozens of women for alleged dress code violations and expressed alarm over the use of force against protesters demonstrating against the arrests. The experts said they were “deeply concerned” by reports that Taliban authorities detained dozens of women in Herat in western Afghanistan on June 6-7 for allegedly violating restrictions on women’s attire, including requirements to wear a burka or chador with a face covering and a ban on perfume.

This made me sick. We need more scholars speaking out clearly against this. It's not culture, it's cruelty.

I don't get it. Hijab is supposed to be a choice between you and Allah, not a weapon to control us.

This is just not Islam. Our deen came to honor women, not oppress them. May Allah guide those who misuse His name.
