Who knew Islamic zealots would be into sausage parties?

Edit: adjectives

It seems they are basically the gayest dudes in the world, but so repressed that they’re upset about it

"Men broke our backs working and defending this land, not women. This is our broke-back mountain."

Looking at beautiful nature with women = Super gay, effeminate, and worldly

Looking at beautiful nature and getting inspired with your bros = As God intended

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Thousands of people visit Band-e-Amir national park each year, taking in its stunning landscape of sapphire-blue lakes and towering cliffs in the country’s central Bamiyan province.

The ban was announced after the acting minister of vice and virtue complained that women visiting the park had not been adhering to the proper way of wearing the hijab.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) described the ban as the latest in a growing list of restrictions imposed on Afghan women.

Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, authorities have closed most girls’ secondary schools, barred women from university and stopped many female Afghan aid staff from working.

“Can someone please explain why this restriction on women visiting Band-e-Amir is necessary to comply with sharia and Afghan culture?” Richard Bennett wrote on social media.

The Taliban have long held thatthey respects women’s rights in accordance with the group’s interpretation of Islamic law and Afghan customs.

A decision you would expect from the Taliban.
