The Taliban has quickly moved to halt and roll back progress made by women in Afghanistan and as part of their attack on women’s rights, the radical Islamic group is now banning women from participating in sports, according to reports.
Deputy head of the Taliban’s cultural commission, Ahmadullah Wasiq, announced the new law to the Australian broadcaster SBS.
“I don’t think women will be allowed to play cricket because it is not necessary that women should play cricket,” Wasiq said. “In cricket, they might face a situation where their face and body will not be covered. Islam does not allow women to be seen like this.”
He added that women’s sports were not appropriate or necessary.
“It is the media era, and there will be photos and videos, and then people watch it. Islam and the Islamic Emirate [Afghanistan] do not allow women to play cricket or play the kind of sports where they get exposed.”
The Taliban shaped their interim government and began work on Wednesday. Notably, none of the loyalist officials who shape the government include any women, even after officials promised to build an inclusive government shortly after retaking Afghanistan, according to The Guardian.
Officials from the U.S. Department of State expressed their own concerns about the lack of inclusivity in the official Taliban cabinet, adding that leadership would be held accountable based on its disturbing track record.
“The world is watching closely,” a state department statement read.

this would not have happened if trump was president...and everyone knows it.
They are really strinking at the heart of the progressives. Painting over George Floyd and “diversity” murals. Decorating thieves as black Africans and parading them around with nooses. Now, not letting women play sports? They better prepare to receive some strongly worded letters.
Don’t they realize if the woman has a healthy body, she is very likely to have healthy children.
There is a clear link. I guess they don’t get it yet.//
My prediction is that the Tallybon will not be in power very long.
Does ANY resident of Afghanistan actually want these people in charge?
Compassion glistens from their machetes now.
Send Joy Behar over there.
IF women didn’t have babies for them, the Afghan men would probably kill them all off for simply existing.
You’re probably right.
Liberals seem concerned today that the Taliban are not going to have an ‘inclusive’ government.
Our liberals will probably turn a blind eye when ‘uppity’ women are murdered.
I will say I do admire the taliban’s solution to their Title 9 challenges.
Seeing how quickly they took the country back over, it would appear so.
What the people of Afghanistan clearly didn't want was Western democracy and feminism.
So why don’t you stupid virtue sniveling shitlibs head on over there and give them all a lecture along with a sternly shaken finger. That’ll teach ‘em.
“’The world is watching closely,’ a state department statement read.”
Especially Australia - they’re taking oppression notes as we speak.
I think they are holding out for women’s Beach Buzkashi.
Beautiful sweaty girls in bikinis riding horses
fighting for a goats head.
Works for me.
thank you...
I am sure the ones we imported will be accepting of women in sports, gay marriage, etc.
The United States doesn’t ban women from sports but instead makes them compete and lose against men who “identify” as women.
