Afghan women in jail on charges of adultery, there are more than 50%.


Kabul (AsiaNews) – women's rights are concerned, as long as Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai is better than under the Taliban was dominated by when, stoning, abuse and women arrested for adultery, as shown by the many cases.

Afghan police began an investigation, even though they are the perpetrators are afraid to move about, and likely no arrest local sources said. They arise in the case in northern Afghanistan from the Taliban to fight the attacker sets the witness of the gang known as the head of the local militias belonging to the Arbakis said. For these reasons, police and residents, as seen above summary executions, rape, violence, the law and of its members, despite the plethora of accusations.


The evidence is clear. Ten years after the Taliban's radical Islamic and tribal traditions remain in the grip of the country, sources said AsiaNews. Most of the Afghan land only to view the Sharia law. And women who pay the price because they are denied the right to continue school, go get a job or select their husband.

What's more, "you cannot just stop Western countries to remove the Taliban from power. If you want to change Afghanistan to invest in education as well as security, must be convinced they are the rulers. Only in this way, human dignity and human rights protection society can be promoted. Otherwise, it will remain in the country, behind the United States occupation and the war on terror creating useless for 10 years. "(South Carolina)

Women's ' misleading ' Islam-Malta times of abuse

 Maltreatment of women 'misinterpretation' of Islam No binding theological argument excluding women from priesthood

The treatment of women in "so-called Islamic states" is not according to the spirit of Islam, the president of the Ahmadiyya Mulslim Jamaat in Malta said today.


Speaking in a seminar organised by the Islamic denomination to commemorate 100 years of Women's Day, Laiq Ahmed Atif said that Islam favoured equality between both sexes and that the subjugation and cruelty to some women in the Arab world was "a misrepresentation of Islam".


Opening the conference, Michelle Muscat, wife of the opposition leader, said the current state of affairs made it difficult – if not impossible – for women to aspire to a career or politics and raise a family.


The point was also raised by Kate Gonzi, who said that the government and political parties, "made up mostly of men" "need to appreciate the different, albeit complementary contribution that women can make, and embrace female participation".


After both giving speeches on the respect and honour women had in their respective religions, they were challenged by an (Anglican) woman in the audience who asked them why they did not have woman priests and imams.


In his reply, Fr Lawrence Attard said there was "no binding enough theological argument excluding half of mankind from any sacrament".


However, through experience, the introduction of women vicars in the Anglican Church had created a lot of discord, most of which, he was surprised to find, "came from women themselves".


Fr Attard said, however, that if a way was found to introduce female priesthood without creating unnecessary friction, then "we'll try it".


He said that he was still waiting for an official ruling from the Church on the matter.


On his part, Mr Atif said the difference between men and women in Islam was "not negative, as God has put less burden and responsibility on women than on men".


He said that women could be Imams to other women, and that the unfair treatment of women in "so-called Islamic nations" was a "misrepresentation of Islam", and cited various instances of respect to women by Prophet Mohammed.
