    It’s hard for westerners to understand honor based moral codes, but that’s exactly how it works. You can disgrace someone’s honor by doing bad things to them and it’s not really a fault thing, it’s more about protecting honor and it’s preservation a virtue.

    This is how honor killings work, it’s part of systems designed to restore individual or family honor by killing someone who is disgraced.

    There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In the video recording viewed by the Guardian and Rukhshana Media, the young woman is filmed being told to take off her clothes and is then raped multiple times by two men.

    Last week the Guardian published accounts of teenage girls and young women who said that they were sexually assaulted and beaten after being detained under Afghanistan’s draconian hijab laws.

    In one case, a woman’s body was allegedly found in a canal a few weeks after she had been taken into custody by Taliban militants, with a source close to her family saying she had been sexually abused before her death.

    Since they took power in August 2021, the Taliban have imposed what human rights groups are calling a “gender apartheid” on Afghanistan’s 14 million women and girls, excluding them from almost every aspect of public life.

    The Guardian and Rukhshana Media spoke with multiple other female protestors and activists who have also come forward to allege that they have been tortured and beaten after being arrested for calling for women’s rights.

    “They gave electric shocks and hit parts of my body with cables so that I would not be able to show in front of the camera tomorrow,” she said, adding that she had been tortured into admitting to taking money from foreigners to protest against the Taliban.


    The original article contains 917 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 76%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Absolutely horrifying to imagine the situation of women in Afghanistan right now and especially women like in this article. The Taliban are crazy monsters.

        I would say in every way. It was basically pointless. We even proved it only took a small force to get Bin Laden. And not in Afghanistan.

        If the war had to happen, it should have ended once the coalition knew Bin Laden had left the country.

        Not if you’re a defense contractor. Now they have more money than the government and tell it what to do. Isn’t capitalism great?!
