...so why are the Taliban so against it for girls?
the Prophet Muhammad told his followers:
"Acquisition of knowledge is binding on all Muslims, male and female."
"Seek knowledge, from the cradle to the grave."
"Acquire knowledge, even if you have to go to China for it."
"The person who goes forth in search of knowledge is striving hard in the way of Allah, until his/her return."

I don’t think you should take the amount of support for fundamentalists - or lack of it - for granted. Statistics reveal quite high levels of support for terrorist actions. I can’t post a link from my phone but I have posted one here several times before.

Naomi. I think you should really give some support to your statement that "Statistics reveal quite high levels of support for terrorist actions."
Who is showing support? What are your sources?

Interesting verses quoted in the OP.

My take on it is knowledge is quite diff to education tho.

Knowledge is wider reaching, more holistic and doesn’t really on academia

[jourdain2]

Going by what I read today about the Taliban renaming the 'Ministry for Women' as something like 'Ministry for teaching virtue and discouraging vice' (plus something else -I can't remember the exact verbiage, but more to that extent) it rather depends on what you mean by 'education'.

We were kicked out of Afghan and I really think we should stop agonising about it

no girls education, no money, no food, no music, starvation, violence: it happened last time so why is everyone surprised this is a repeat

The chickens are coming home to roost,and not just in asia.

^^ Excellent site, naomi, thank you. The responses should be interesting, to say the least.....

[naomi24]

The responses are rarely interesting, goodgoalie. I've posted it before but most seem to ignore it and crawl straight back into their default position .....denial.

Thank you for the link, Naomi.
Everyone should read the other pages there as well.
The ultimate aim of Islam is domination of the world. Look at their book. Infidels will not be tolerated. Any doubts? Look at what's happening over there right now.
China might be an obstacle, but the west has already succumbed.
Many people in our country are so accommodating.

Ladies - very reasonable prices. Best to be prepared.
And such lovely colours:

You’re welcome, AZ.

Hate to say I told you so, goodgoalie.. but I will. ;o)

[roadman]

cus they are terrorists and not a good representation of an Islamic worshiper

Knowledge is power, and people with power rarely use it to ensure that anyone else gets close to the power that they have.
