The Taliban is a brutal jihad group that follows the letter of the Hadiths and Qur’an. See HERE. No amount of effort to try to normalize the Taliban will change its doctrines, and so-called humanitarian aid to Afghanistan will only flow into its coffers and strengthen it against its own people. The Taliban’s latest move to drastically slash the wages of women should be expected. Following the world’s complaining about it, especially at the pointless UN Human Rights Commission, nothing beyond lip service will be done even to attempt to change the treatment of women in Afghanistan.
‘Systematic Discrimination’: Taliban’s Drastic Cut In Salaries
Of Female State Employees Triggers Anger
Radio Free Europe, June 18, 2024:
Shugufta, an elementary school teacher, earned around $300 per month under the previous Western-backed Afghan government.
But after the Taliban seized power in 2021, the extremist group cut the salaries of female government employees by half.
Despite her lower income, Shugufta was relieved to work as the country grappled with an economic meltdown after the Taliban takeover.
The hard-line Islamist group has barred thousands of women employed by the previous government from returning to their jobs. Only women whose jobs cannot be done by men according to the militants’ strict interpretation of Shari’a law — including doctors, nurses, and teachers — have been permitted to work.
But in a major blow, the Taliban-led government last week issued a decree that set the monthly salaries of all female government employees at 5,000 afghanis, or around $70, regardless of their job, qualifications, or experience……
…..Volker Turk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said the “discriminatory and profoundly arbitrary decision further deepens the erosion of human rights in Afghanistan.”
In a June 13 statement, he called on the Taliban to “rescind all laws, instructions, edicts, and other measures that discriminate against women and girls.”…
Yeah! Good luck with that! This is the manifestation of how valuable devout Muslims consider women to be.
When reading this article, keep in mind that Khamenei's interest in Palestinians is not sympathetic, it has to do with Iran's hegemony ambitions in the Middle East. They have significant influence in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen. The first three border on Israel. The last several presidents of Iran have promised to destroy Israel.
Whether or not Khamenei’s letters had anything to do with the American campus protests cannot be proven or disproven. But Iran is unquestionably a significant player. What is known is that Iran is a chief funder of Hamas, and that Iran is watching America closely as America stumbles over the pro-Hamas thugs who are holding campuses hostage.
One mistake is captured in this statement:
The Iranian regime’s focus on these events contrasts sharply with its treatment of domestic dissent, where student activists face harsh penalties for similar activities.
The pro-Hamas agitators are not merely protesters; and they certainly are not dissenters fighting for freedom, as are Iranian dissidents. They are a threatening menace, backing a savage, terrorist entity that seeks the annihilation of the Jewish state.
Khamenei himself has seized on the protests as a victory for the pro-Hamas sentiment among Western students, interpreting their actions as a global sensitivity to the Palestinian cause.
For Iran, they do represent a “victory.” Many Western useful idiots who join them have no clue what the Palestinian “resistance” is really about.
How America and the West reacts in the coming weeks and months will determine Iran’s next step.
Islamic Cleric in Iran Links US Campus Protests to Khamenei’s Letters
Iran International, May 10, 2024:
An Islamic cleric in Iran is claiming that letters penned by Iran’s Supreme Leader are the driving force behind pro-Palestinian student protests in American universities.
Ahmad Alamolhoda, is a close associate of Khamenei’s and father-in-law to the country’s current President Ebrahim Raisi.
The cleric claims that the protests on American university campuses today are a result of Khamenei’s letters to Western youth in 2014 and 2015.
Alamolhoda, who is known for his violent rhetoric, once said that the British Ambassador to Iran should be “chopped into pieces”.
The protests on US campuses have garnered significant attention inside Iran and are often portrayed by the regime’s media outlets as a form of validation of their anti-Western stance.
The Iranian regime’s focus on these events contrasts sharply with its treatment of domestic dissent, where student activists face harsh penalties for similar activities.
The discrepancy has not gone unnoticed by the Iranian public, who have criticized the regime’s apparent hypocrisy.
Khamenei himself has seized on the protests as a victory for the pro-Hamas sentiment among Western students, interpreting their actions as a global sensitivity to the Palestinian cause….
Hamas is one of the major shock-troops of Iranian hegemony. They are beginning to make their presence felt in Lebanon and will probably take over the West Bank and Golan Heights from the Palestinian Authority in the next year or two.
Campus Hamas protestors are therefore, fighting for Iran, who are not just trying to eliminate Israel, but are trying to overthrow Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. Then all will be united under Sharia Law, Ayatollah Khamenei's interpretation.
That means women will be largely uneducated and invisible and eligable for marriage at a young age. Girls who rebel against the invisablilty law are fair game for arrests, beatings, torture, rape, and murder.
This is ultimately what stupid western university students are fighting for.

A Manhattan judge ripped Sam Bankman-Fried as a remorseless scammer obsessed with political power as he sentenced the dethroned crypto king to 25 years in prison Thursday — five months after he was found guilty of stealing more than $8 billion from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old former billionaire owner of the popular FTX trading platform “presented himself as the good guy” in favor of “appropriate regulation of the crypto industry” — but that his friendly persona was just an “act.”
“He did it because he wanted to be a hugely, hugely politically influential person in this country,” Kaplan said inside a packed federal courtroom in Manhattan. The judge then blasted the fallen mogul as having an “apparent lack of any real remorse.”
Bankman-Fried was also ordered to pay back more than $11 billion to FTX’s users, investors and lenders — but it was unclear Thursday how much of that sum he’d be able to pay.
The judge delivered the sentence — which was less than one-fourth of the 110-year max that Bankman-Fried faced and well under the 40-to-50 years prosecutors suggested — after the disgraced tech whiz delivered a 20-minute, meandering mea culpa to the court.
This is an unexpected sentence. The way things are going, Mohammed Othman or someone like him will be mayor of New York City before too long.
Jewish victim of NY gang ‘more than satisfied’
with attacker’s prison sentence
by Mike Wagenheim, JNS, December 24, 2023:
A New York court sentenced Mohammed Othman, who brutally attacked Joseph Borgen on May 20, 2021, to five-and-a-half years in prison on Wednesday.
Othman assaulted and pepper-sprayed Borgen on Broadway near West 49th Street in the Diamond District while the latter was en route to a pro-Israel rally during the Israel-Gaza war (“Operation Pillar of Defense”). Othman pleaded guilty in October to second-degree assault as a hate crime.
Manhattan state Supreme Court Judge Felicia Mennin added five years of post-release supervision to Othman’s sentence. Prosecutors had asked for five years of incarceration for Othman, who was the second defendant in the case whom Mennin sentenced beyond what prosecutors sought….
Borgen was wearing a yarmulke when Othman and four other men ambushed him, shouting antisemitic slurs. Punched and kicked repeatedly and beaten with a crutch, Borgen suffered a concussion, wrist injury and black eye. His body was left bruised. He said he will require another wrist surgery and still deals with the incident’s lingering physical effects.
Video evidence showed Othman pepper-spraying Borgen three times and spraying a bystander who tried to protect Borgen. Othman was also recorded throwing a firework at a Jewish woman, burning her, from the back of a pickup truck.
Othman, 26, of Staten Island, had six prior arrests, including domestic violence charges….
Three other attackers have been sentenced. Waseem Awawdeh, who beat Borgen with a crutch and reportedly said of the attack, “If I could do it again, I would,” pleaded guilty to attempted assault as a hate crime and received 18 months in jail.
In November, Mahmoud Musa received seven years in prison for his role in the attack, when he maced, kicked, punched and beat Borgen with crutches. The sentence was six months beyond the prosecutor’s recommendation….
Are NYC prosecutors in the pockets of George Soros? Maybe they should start protecting New Yorkers rather than Muslim Jew haters.

Who says Muslims don’t have a sense of humor? In France, Warda Anwar posted a video on Instagram in which she discussed the Israeli baby baked alive by Hamas murderers at Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7. Did the “cook” use salt, pepper, a bit of thyme, she wondered, and “what fat did they roast it in?” And what were the side dishes that accompanied the main dish — the traditional pommes frites, with ketchup and mayonnaise as condiments, or something else?
More on this surpassingly evil young woman and her sense of humor can be found here:
“France Takes Legal Action Against Woman Joking About Jewish Baby Cooked in an Oven: ‘Did they Use Salt, Pepper, Thyme, what Fat Did They Roast It In’ (Video),”
by Amy Mek, RAIR Foundation, November 4, 2023:
A recent Instagram video, posted by an individual using the pseudonym ‘Haneia Nakei’ but identified as Warda Anwar, has sparked outrage and condemnation. The footage contained offensive jokes about a Jewish baby allegedly burned in an oven by Muslim terrorists during the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has taken legal action in response to this disturbing content, fueling a broader discussion about freedom of speech and the efforts of left-wing governments to restrict it.
The video featured “Haneia Nakei” [the social media alias used by Warda Anwar] jokingly discussing the recent murder of a baby, humorously speculating about the “accompaniments” for the baby’s leg, and even facetiously declaring, “Each time I come across the story of the baby that was put in the oven. I wonder if they put salt pepper, did they add thyme, and what (fat) did they roast it in? And what were the side dishes… You don’t ask yourself the question? I don’t know. The side dish to this baby leg was just a classic plate of fries with a ketchup and mayonnaise. And we marinated it in salt, thyme, and a barbecue sauce, and paprika. Not bad! I think it’s a rather nice menu!” These highly insensitive remarks have provoked widespread outrage by non-Muslims and pro-Israel supporters.
The offensive video prompted swift condemnation from many leaders, including the Israeli ambassador to France, who strongly denounced the “filthy denialist and antisemitic remarks of the young woman.” The Israeli embassy issued a statement calling for the removal of “Warda Anwar” (a.k.a. Haneia Nakei) from social media platforms, such as Instagram and TikTok. The video made light of a grave incident during the Israel-Hamas conflict when Hamas executed over 1,400 people, including babies, pregnant women, and elderly individuals, in a barbaric manner.
An Israeli first responder to the October 7 Islamic terror attack reported that Hamas terrorists roasted a baby in an oven in shocking video testimony. Asher Moskowitz of the United Hatzalah first responder group published a video of himself speaking to a camera, delivering his eyewitness account.
In it, he claims he saw the remains of a baby who had been baked to death in an oven at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where more than 100 civilians were killed
The gravity of the woman’s video led to a significant response from the French government. Minister Gérald Darmanin announced on November 3 that he had referred the case to the national prosecutor’s office in Paris, invoking “Article 40 of the Criminal Code.” This action raises important questions about the boundaries of free speech in France, as many argue that such measures may infringe on the principle of freedom of expression.
The woman behind the offensive video, “Haneia Nakei” [Warda Anwar], now faces potential legal consequences. The referral to the national prosecutor’s office means that the legal authorities will review the case to determine whether her comments violated any laws, such as those related to France’s hate speech or incitement to violence. If her actions are found to have breached these laws, she could face criminal charges, fines, or other legal penalties.
Is it conceivable that this kind of grotesque and evil hilarity would not be considered hate speech? It makes light of the murder of a Jewish baby. And think of all the jokes that will now be circulating in “can-you-top-this” competitions on social media, possibly about the kinds of mutilations — the eyes gouged out, the genitalia cut off, the breasts sliced off — that the Israeli victims suffered that day.
The incident highlights the persistent contentious issue of content moderation on social media platforms. It emphasizes the various ways governments exert influence on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat and the increasing pressure placed on them to take action against what governments consider “hate speech” and “offensive” content. Notably, the Israeli embassy has explicitly called for the removal of Warda Anwar’s accounts from these platforms.
Can there be any doubt that Warda Anwar should not just have her accounts removed from social media, but also should be prosecuted for hate speech, and receive not only a stiff fine, but also a prison term, where behind bars (let her sentence be as long as the law allows, and ideally one to be served in solitary confinement), she can indulge her sense of humor to her heart’s content, telling her thigh-slapping jokes to her only audience, the four walls of her cell?

Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi began a hunger strike from her Tehran prison cell Monday where she is serving a 10-year sentence to protest authorities' neglect of sick inmates and criminalization of women who refuse to wear the hijab.
Mohammadi who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October, made the announcement via her supporters on social media after a week of unsuccessful appeals by her lawyers to get her transferred to hospital for emergency medical care prescribed by prison medical staff.
The 51-year-old has a serious heart condition which following an echocardiogram the doctor at Tehran's notorious Evin Prison said required she be immediately transferred to a specialist heart and lung center for treatment.
"We are concerned about Nargess Mohammadi's physical condition and health. After a week of Narges' follow-ups from prison and her lawyer's appeals to judicial authorities, the prosecutor has blocked her transfer to the hospital, her supporters wrote.
"The Islamic Republic is responsible for anything that happens to our beloved Narges."
Since first being arrested in 2011, mother of two Mohammadi has spent most of the last decade in and out of detention for her civil rights advocacy, and women's rights in particular, that began several years earlier when she became involved with the Defenders of Human Rights Center in Tehran,
Mohammadi began protesting against Iran's excessive use of the death penalty -- it is among the countries that execute the highest proportion of their citizens -- while out on bail, resulting in her being re-imprisoned in 2015.
During her incarceration, she began speaking out against the use of torture and sexualized violence against women prisoners in Iran's penal system, stepping up her activism and helping direct the national protest movement that took hold in the wake of the September 2022 death of Mahsa Jina Amini in police custody.
In awarding the Peace Prize, the Nobel Committee called Mohammadi a woman human rights advocate and a" freedom fighter."
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to honor her courageous fight for human rights, freedom and democracy in Iran," it said.
Her mentor, judge-turned-political rights activist Shirin Ebadi, became the Islamic world's first woman to win the Peace Prize in 2003.
Don't forget, Iran now sits as the chair of the UN Human Rights Commission.

Police were hunting for a man who stabbed and wounded a Jewish woman in the French city of Lyon on Saturday, while a swastika was found graffitied at her home, police and the city's mayor said.
"Such an act of violence is unthinkable. I offer all my support to the victim and her relatives," said Lyon Mayor Gregory Doucet on the social media platform X.
A spokesman for the national police gave no further details about the suspect, and said he could not confirm whether police were treating the attack as an anti-Semitic hate crime.
Police in countries around the world have reported a surge in anti-Semitic and Islamophobic offences in the wake of Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
