Taliban-style edict for women spreads alarm in Afghan district

One of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's main religious advisers will not overturn a decree issued by clerics in the north reimposing Taliban-style curbs on women, in another sign of returning conservatism as NATO forces leave the country.

The eight article decree, issued late in June, bars women from leaving home without a male relative, while shutting cosmetic shops on the pretext they were being used for prostitution - an accusation residents and police reject.

"There is no way these shops could have stayed open. Shops are for business, not adultery," Enayatullah Baligh, a member of the top religious panel, the Ulema Council, and an adviser to the president, told Reuters late on Friday.

Residents of Deh Salah described the order as a "fatwa", or religious edict, although only senior clerics in Kabul should issue such a binding religious order.

Afghans love communism... they love despots and tyrants... they were aligned with all of islam in WWII... islam was aligned with the Nazis during WWII. The Nazis were not “CONSERVATIVES”... they were socialists just like you liberals in the rat party. Quit lying... these taliban are hardcore leftists and they want 95% of everything that American liberals want. Burn in hell rooters... and along with you... all paid lying whores for satan.
