Taliban OKs Slavery, Domestic Violence in Updated Criminal Code
Breitbart ^ | 02/19/2026 | Frances Martel

Posted on 02/20/2026 1:51:10 PM PST by DFG

Taliban “supreme leader” Hibatullah Akhundzada recently approved a novel criminal code, multiple outlets reported this week, that dramatically expands the legal ability for men to physically abuse women and children and provides for the creation of a formal “slave” class in the country.

The Taliban is a radical Islamist terror organization that currently operates as the uncontested government of Afghanistan. The Taliban returned to power on August 15, 2021, following former President Joe Biden’s decision to extend the 20-year-old Afghan War beyond the deadline of May 15 of that year that President Donald Trump had previously agreed to. The Taliban’s return to power prompted a chaotic mass exodus of Afghans fleeing the nation’s persecution and the imposition of restrictive sharia policies that have stripped Afghan women and girls of nearly all their rights as citizens.

According to the Times of India, the latest affront to human rights from the Taliban is the publication of a 90-page criminal code, issued as an edict recently, likely in late January. No evidence suggests any public participation in the drafting of the code or legislative debate by certified lawmakers prior to its imposition.

Citing the British outlet The Independent, the Indian newspaper noted that the code includes the creation of “free” and “slave” categories of Afghanis and different legal punishments for criminals in each category. While it does not explicitly list all women in the country as “slaves,” certain provisions in the criminal code for women appear to treat them as separate from free citizens.

Fat lot of good all our billions and billions, and our blood, did for these God-forsaken low-life animals.
Feral and blood thirsty to the end.
A pox be upon them ALL.

I’m not sure I feel it’s safe to comment until Mamdani and Ilan Omar have laid down the party line.

Surely Mamdani will be asked, as America’s most prominent elected Muslim leader, to speak forthrightly about his co-religionists.

Surely?

They claim to be Aryans. I believe Hitler believed they were.

A lifetime ago, I was scheduled to go to Afghanistan as a Peace Corps Volunteer, to teach English in their schools. Part of our training was learning the current culture of the country. The ruler at the time, Zahir Shah, was trying to reform the nation, thus raising the ire of the mullahs. One of his reforms was to outlaw the killing of daughters. To compensate, a father was allowed to have his daughter put in prison.

But, it isn’t our circus and they aren’t our monkeys.

Conservatives are routinely called on to repudiate all sorts of yhings done abroad by people. With whom they have no connection. So are white people. So are Christians. Why should Mamdani get a pass as his coreligionists do their thing — while he continues to denounce Islamophobia and cheer on the spread of Islam in America?

Well, that should earn them a seat on the UN Human Rights Commission.

According to US official racial segregation map, people of Afghan origin are considered white!
But people of Pakistani origin are not.
So two Pashtun brothers, living few feet apart on the border will be of different races!
I am sure that the one on the Afghani side considers himself white supremacist.
