The Taliban has ordered clothes shop mannequins to be beheaded because they are “idols” as the brutes continue to wage war on women’s freedoms.

Shopkeepers in the western province of Herat in Afghanistan have been told to chop the heads off their mannequins after officials ruled the dummies were sinful “idols”.

I remember mannequins that were designed to be headless. Why didn’t they use those?

Behead the mannequins and pour ketchup all over them. That’s a proper Islamic idol.

The Taliban says that if a man views a strange woman’s face, he may be tempted to impure thoughts or acts......I suppose they’re including anything that resembles a woman....photos etc. will soon be outlawed no doubt.

I may slow today, but I can’t see the connection between mannequins’ heads or their lack thereof and women’s freedoms. On the other hand without heads won’t the chador fit kind of funny on the mannequin?

When they behead their blowup dolls, they will find them less useful.

“Really? That’s the most pressing problem in Afghanistan?”

They’re like the US agencies that create edicts on masks. They can’t allow even the slightest deviation because that calls their other edicts into question. So, everything must be enforced to the maximum. (Hence children being arrested in restaurants in NY.)

Islam is a ninth century religion. Recall that back then Christians fought over how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. The difference is, Christianity could evolve and change. Islam can’t. If someone tries, they get murdered.

An Iranian who came to the US alone as a teenager converted to Christianity, married and had children. He told me with tears in his eyes he’d never contacted his family in Iran to tell them he was okay. He said, “I miss them terribly.
But they’re adherents to a crazy religion. My father would be required to kill me and my children. I know he would do it.”

Smart like rock sharp like door knob.

It reads like a comedy show.

Achmed. “Hey Ali, I cut this bitch’s head off last nite during sex”. “Now don’t matter how much air I blow in her she just lay there”. “Whatcha think I ought do? “
