Salaam Aleikom,

Human Rights Afganistan

In January 1997, Taliban officials announced a policy of segregating men and women into separate hospitals. This regulation was not strictly enforced until September 1997 when the Ministry of Public Health ordered all hospitals in Kabul to suspend medical services to the city's half million women at all but one, poorly-equipped hospital for women. Female medical workers also were banned from working in Kabul's 22 hospitals. The temporary Rabia Balkhi facility was designated the sole facility available to women. At that time the facility had 35 beds and no clean water, electricity, surgical equipment, X-ray machines, suction, or oxygen. An international uproar ensued, and in November 1997, after two months of negotiations with the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Taliban partially rescinded its directive and agreed to reopen some of the hospitals and make available limited beds therein. Despite the reversal however, Taliban gender restrictions--preventing women from moving freely and prohibiting women from working--continue to interfere with the delivery of health services and humanitarian assistance to women and girls.

The Taliban's edicts restricting women's rights have had a disastrous impact on Afghan women and girls' access to education, as well as health care. One of the first edicts issued by the regime when it rose to power was to prohibit girls and women from attending school. Humanitarian groups initiated projects to replace through philanthropy what prior governments had afforded as a right to both sexes. Hundreds of girl's schools were established in private homes and thousands of women and girls were taught to sew and weave.

On June 16, 1998, the Taliban ordered the closing of more than 100 privately funded schools where thousands of young women and girls were receiving training in skills that would have helped them support their families. The Taliban issued new rules for nongovernmental organizations providing the schooling: education must be limited to girls up to the age of eight, and restricted to the Qur'an.

Taliban policies that restrict women's rights and deny basic needs are often brutally and arbitrary enforced by the "religious police" (Department for the Propagation of Virtue and the Suppression of Vice) usually in the form of summary, public beatings. In addition, Afghan staff members of international organizations have reportedly faced threats, harassment, beating and arrest in the course of conducting their professional duties.

PHR's researcher when visiting Kabul in 1998, saw a city of beggars -- women who had once been teachers and nurses now moving in the streets like ghosts under their enveloping burqas , selling every possession and begging so as to feed their children. It is difficult to find another government or would-be government in the world that has deliberately created such poverty by arbitrarily depriving half the population under its control of jobs, schooling, mobility, and health care. Such restrictions are literally life threatening to women and to their children.

The Taliban's abuses are by no means limited to women. Thousands of men have been taken prisoner, arbitrarily detained, tortured, and many killed and disappeared. Men are beaten and jailed for wearing beards of insufficient length (that of a clenched fist beneath the chin), are subjected to cruel and degrading conditions in jail, and suffer such punishments as amputation and stoning. Men are also vulnerable to extortion, arrest, gang rape, and abuse in detention because of their ethnicity or presumed political views. The Taliban's Shari'a courts lack even a semblance of due process, with no provisions for legal counsel and frequent use of torture to extract confessions.

Afghanistan's history of civil war and particularly the period of anarchy between 1992 and 1995 following the collapse of the Communist regime has contributed to the perception outside Afghanistan that while the Taliban is repressive, at least it has stopped the war and ended violent crime in the capital.

Physicians for Human Rights rejects this assessment of Afghanistan under the Taliban. For nearly twenty years, the Afghan people have suffered the health consequences of armed conflict and human rights violations. That Taliban officials now claim to be "restoring peace" to Afghanistan is perhaps one of the cruelest ironies of our time, as they have virtually imprisoned Afghan women in their homes and threatened their very survival. The "peace" imposed on that portion of the country under Taliban rule is the peace of the burqa, the quiet of women and girls cowering in their homes, and the silence of a citizenry terrorized by the Taliban's violent and arbitrary application of their version of Shari'a law.

Salaam aleikom beste zusters en broeders in de islaam.

assur er is niet zoiets als "gematigde moslim"!Dat zijn termen die de niet gelovige hebben uit gevonden.De edele koran en onze geliefe profeet Mohammed ,vrede zij met hem,dat zijn onze leidraad in de islaam.Je kan niet iets wel aannemen en iets anders afkeuren vanuit de islaam.Onze broeder heeft het ook al uitgelegd,over de beelden wat shirk is in de islaam ,bijv.Ik steun wel de taliban ,want het zijn onze broeders en zuster .Tuurlijk zijn er veel stammen die altijd  de baas wil spelen maar daar kan je de islaam niet voor beschuldigen.Voor de rest heeft Profeet Mohammed ,vrede zij met hem,ook gezegd dat al zelfs al zou fatima,zijn dochter ,iets pikken hij ook haar hand zou afhakken,subhanallah.Mischien kan iemand die hadith vermelden?

Moge ALLAH SUBHANA WA T`ALA onze oemah versterken en ons op het rechte pad leiden,amien

moge ALLAH SUBHANA WA T`ALA de overwinning geven aan al onze broeders en zusters waar ook op de wereld,amien

P.s nefertiti je foto van dat jongetje hoort in irak thuis bij de "zogenaamde bevrijders"die hem dat hebben aangedaan en daarna kunstarmen hebben gegeven en woont nu in amerika.Als je iets wil bewijzen doe het dan wel eerlijk!!

Waleikom salaam wa rahmatoelah wa barakatoe oem moussa.

In eerste instantie geplaatst door Wadee Zoals de Profeet (VZMH) zei , geloof met gematigdheid en ga niet over tot het extreme Sirata-ladina an'amta 'alayhim ghayril ma'dubi 'alayhim wa ladalin [Al Fatihah]vers 7 oftewel voor de niet moslims = The Way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose (portion) is NOT WRATH And who go not astray. oftewel koester geen haat als je een ware Moslim bent, en leer vergevingsgezind te zijn!

Een vraag aan u wadee. Als een Moslimleider de handen afhouwt van de dieven, is hij dan een extreem. Of de overspeler zweepslagen geeft. Of de moordende dief kruisigt en de zijn handen en voeten kruiselings afhouwt. Is dit extreem?
