Bismillah
well john I think u aught to receive an anwer out of respect u r right.
Let me tell u personally, I read a statement by the then Grand Mufti of Egypt who went and visited Afghanistan in order to make an evaluation. I m not sure if u noticed but i prefer not to judge any party while i am sitting here in Egypt without an actual experience. I mean media can really play much in forming the public opinion. I m sure u agree with me on this.
After reading his statement, he clarified a lot of things. A number of issues were taken against Taliban of them, lack of education for girls. They explained, as far as I remember, that the regime is really on a short budget and they do fall in certain areas including women education. But as Radiay explained to u, this is unfortunately a problem many other developing countries are suffering.
Alhamdulelah I did receive education, unlike many of Egyptian women who belong to the working or poor classes. Matter of fact, the illiteracy rate is higher among women than men here in Egypt, the exact rate is not on my mind now, although I work with these issues a lot. Old age may be.
As far as I remember, because I dont want to put things unless I m certain about them. He came back with a report that much of the media reports included exaggeration.
At the end I will tell u John what I wish for, i wish to live under proper Islamic rulings.
Sorry if it was me who posted the reply to u.. [img]style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif[/img][img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img]
