‘Frightening’ Taliban law bans women from speaking in public
theguardian.com

New Taliban laws that prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes have been condemned by the UN and met with horror by human rights groups.

The Taliban published a host of new “vice and virtue” laws last week, approved by their supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, which state that women must completely veil their bodies – including their faces – in thick clothing at all times in public to avoid leading men into temptation and vice.

Women’s voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of vice and so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions. Women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud, even from inside their houses.

If I had to guess, they're probably trying to argue, through some very convoluted logic, that muslims aren't real people and therefore no amount of dead Palestinians can be bad

That's a lot more thought than I put into interpreting their 3 word comment lol.

Fair haha, I'm just used to seeing this type of comment elsewhere. Whenever it gets followed up, that's usually what it boils down to
