Afghanistan has WON the war against the Super Power USA

and is now under freedom.

Taliban interpretation of Sharia law

The Taliban was condemned internationally for enforcing a strict and extreme version of Sharia law during its rule from 1996 to 2001, which included administering punishments such as public stonings, whippings and hangings.

The militant group also banned music and musical instruments, with the exception of the daf - a type of frame drum - and cut off the hands of thieves and stoned adulterers.

Along with their allies, they committed massacres against Afghan civilians, denied UN food supplies to 160,000 starving people, and conducted a policy of scorched earth - burning vast areas of fertile land and destroying tens of thousands of homes.

Under the Taliban's ruling, activities and media including paintings, photography and movies that depicted people or other living things were banned.

Many Afghans fear the Taliban will reimpose this harsh interpretation of Islamic law - leading to thousands of people trying to flee the country.

Impact on Afghan women

Under the Taliban's rule, women were effectively put under house arrest as they were not allowed to work or have an education.

Women and girls from the age of eight had to wear a burka and had to be chaperoned by a male relative if they wanted to leave their home.

High-heeled shoes were also banned in case they excited men, homes with windows on the ground and first floor had to be painted over and women were forbidden to go on their balconies.

Photographing, filming or displaying pictures of females in newspapers, books, shops or the home was not allowed, place names that had "women" in were changed and women were banned from appearing on radio, TV or at public gatherings.

Women who disobeyed the rules, even if they had no male relatives to go outside with, were flogged in the street or in stadiums and town halls.

Women had their thumb tips cut off for wearing nail varnish and were stoned to death if they refused to declare loyalty to the Taliban. Anyone who broke the rules could be subject to humiliation, public beatings by the Taliban's religious police or execution.

this is not the result that can determine whether City are champions or not.

I don't understand why there are still rumours about Ronaldo to leave the team for joining Manchester United or PSG. It seems really clear that he won't be leaving this summer. The new season in the Serie A is starting this week. Juventus have Allegri from now on. The conditions seem quite good for Ronaldo. If Juventus still continued with Pirlo, then he would most probably leave.

It is a secret why Barcelona left Suarez going to Atletico Madrid and signed with Braithwaite.

No country so far had offered to the refugees too.

As for leaving painlessly... we should have offered asylum to everyone who wants it. But that would never fly (no pun intended) in any Western country, or any country really. No one wants millions of Afghanis. We want to be outraged about our foreign fuckups from a safe distance.

I keep asking myself: What is the purpose of PSG? Collect the best players?

Although lawful, it's absurd to see them "stealing" players from other teams just because they have money.

Roma have Jose Mourinho as their new manager now. And this is going to be his first official game with Roma. I really wonder what Roma will do with him. I can't say that they were good in the last season. I'm hoping to see them having a better season with Mourinho.

Tottenham have registered Harry Kane for the Europa Conference League this means Kane will stay at Tottenham this season

If Kane plays for Tottenham in Thursday’s game in Portugal, he will still be able to play for any team in the Champions League from the group stage onwards this season, as per UEFA rules.

They weren't able to "fix" it in 20 years. It should be obvious by now that more soldiers and more money isn't gonna do anything positive, just increase the resentment towards occupying forces. I bet there are numerous countries in the world who would happily take the billions of dollars and put them to much better use than drones and bombs.

Desperate Afghans clung to the side of a moving US military plane leaving Kabul airport on Monday, with at least three people apparently falling to their deaths from the undercarriage immediately after takeoff.

Probably not. The Afghanistan military more or less put up no fight against the Taliban once Biden pulled American and allied troops out. The Taliban will take over the entire country in short order.

Getting closer by the minute.

Maybe next year we will see a farewell tour for Federer and I doubt that he will push for more to win another grand slams because his body is telling him to stop with lots of wear and operation on his body in the last 3 years.

Chelsea [...] as for the EPL, they are certainly the best. They were good last year and now they are even better.

Chelsea and Manchester United are the strongest candidates this season

You were doing  pretty good with the mental health funding.

But you lost me with the l such as no-one  is allowed to own a gun) proposition.

So no-one as in cops and military with out guns.

So I don't think you meant that.

You meant no civilians correct ?

Well, the gap between male politicians to female politicians up to this date is still huge, so the existence of corruption will be more noticeable to male species. In the future where the number of female to male politcians is almost equal or equal, only then we can have a data that will prove if gender is a related for this "CORRUPTION"

Hey Cnut237, do you realize how our preconceptions make us filter the facts? Faced with this mass shooting fact, my response has been "no, we don't need more regulations." and your response has been "we need more public funding."

Who would have thought it, lol.
