To the Taliban, if you can and are reading this plea…
The deprivation of dignity of a wo/man, is responsible for the creation of ruthless chaos. The depriver is not a savage, who resides in some cave. Rather the depriver is usually the one possessed with great power. When a society begins to turn a blind eye to those, who we give power to; corruption of power lurks in, greed lurks in, lust lurks in. Shutting the eyes of Responsibility, shutting the eyes of accountability. And moral panic becomes the wild horse on the loose, spreading like covid. This is ruthless chaos due to deprivation of dignity. So, for all humans, I pray you are aware of your potential. I pray that you’re aware that it was not the crowds that changed the face of history. It was One spark in the crowd that empowered it. My heart goes out to the girls of Afghanistan, who are deprived of their dignity, their right to education. A right which belongs to every girl in every corner of the world, which NO Religion condemns, rather the corrupt in power do. My message to the Taliban, you will be victorious by allowing by allowing these girls their basic right to education, which Islam promotes. Or you will be destroyed with the Will of Allah and the international community, not America, for turning the country into chaos. As Ramazan is about to knock on our doors, please keep in mind the dignity of the woman of your country, as you look into the mirror.
