    If you were the CEO of the World Bank, would you have given money to Taliban government?

    This is a very serious issue. For any government to run, it needs money.

    Would you have given money (as a World Bank CEO) to a Taliban government? If yes, then why? If not, then why?

      No. Never give aid to any whose stated objective is the subjugation and abuse of women.

      Ultimately it is the goal of the WB, IMF, etc. to support the normalization of affairs regardless of religious preferences.

      I don't see why anyone would have issue with this.  The spread of Islam and Sharia law is supported throughout France, the UK, and many of the EU nations.

      Entire sections of England, France, Belgium, etc. are completely under Islamic law/rule today, the percentage is growing steadily every year.

      Islam is the second-largest religion in Europe after Christianity. Although the majority of Muslim communities in Western Europe formed recently, there are centuries-old Muslim societies in the Balkans, Southeastern Europe, Caucasus, Crimea, and Volga region such as Slavic Muslims, Muslim populations of Albanians, Greeks, Romani, Balkan Turks, Pomaks, Yörüks, Volga Tatars, and Crimean Tatars.

      An estimated 57 million Muslims were living in Europe (9%), including an estimated 22 million in the EU (4%) in 2020.  These numbers are likely to grow by the millions due to migration over the course of the next decade.

        I appreciate you for saying things based on facts. I also can't understand why anyone would have issues with this. Being a Muslim myself. I hope people who are saying things about Afghanistan or the Talibans here could meet an Afghani woman in person. So that they can know the truth. I have met a lot of them in person. Today, Pakistan is home to more than 1.4 million registered Afghan refugees including men, children  and women. We call them Mahajareen in our country.

        Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s longtime spokesman, emerged from the shadows and in his first-ever public appearance to address those concerns at a news conference.

        He promised, the Taliban would honor women’s rights within the norms of Islamic law, without elaborating. The Taliban have encouraged women to return to work and have allowed girls to return to school, handing out Islamic headscarves at the door.

        Today's Talibans are not the same Talibans that Malala talks of and Malala was not targeted because of her education. You can see the details in the link below. She received a letter from Adnan Rasheed that unfolds the truth. The real reason behind targeting her was different than what the world knows, I believe.

        Saying that let me clear I am not defending the Talibans for doing this. She was targeted as a kid and that's wrong. But if anyone here can help me know the stats about how many school kids are targeted for no reason all around the world.

        Question is that : Has she changed her mind? Is she not living according to the Muslim lifestyle even if she is living in foreign?

        Till the time the Talibans are following the Shariah law, none of the Muslim countries can oppose them because Islam doesn't teach violence and not just Islam but there's no such religion that teaches us violence.

        The Prophet Muhammad (saw) preached boldly on the importance of women; celebrating their unique contributions to family and society, condemning the ill-treatment of women and campaigning for their rights.

        Many of the negative stereotypes around women in Islam arise not from Islamic guidance but from cultural practices, which not only denigrate the rights and experiences of women, but also stand in direct opposition to the teachings of Allah (swt) and His Prophet (saw).

        Let me clear that "The first person to embrace Islam was a woman; Khadija (ra).

        The greatest scholar of Islam was a woman; Aisha (ra)."

        Far from the stereotype of the voiceless and veiled Muslim woman, Shaykh Ibn Baaz argues, “There is no doubt that Islam came to honour to the woman, guard her, protect her from the wolves of mankind, secure her rights and raise her status.”

        The Prophet (saw), and his businesswoman wife, Khadija (ra), stood against many of these unjust practices, advocating for men to treat women and girls with the utmost respect. According to the laws of Islam, all life is considered sacred, and men and women have the right to choose whom to marry and should never be forced.

        Under Islamic laws, women also have the right to sell and buy properties, run businesses, demand her dowry at any point during her marriage, vote and take an active part in all aspects of politics and society. It is notable that many Islamic countries, such as Indonesia, Iran, Bangladesh, Turkey and Pakistan, have had female Presidents and Prime ministers.

        Dar al-Ifta al-Misriyyah, an Islamic institute that advises Egypt's ministry of justice, issued a fatwa stating that female rulers and judges are allowed in Islam. The Qur’an contains verses that appear to support the role of women in politics, such as its mention of the Queen of Sheba, who represented a ruler who consulted with and made important decisions on behalf of her people. The Hadith provides numerous examples of women having public leadership roles.

        I believe, when it comes to gender equality there are so many countries that violate the laws. I can provide here a list of countries but my aim is not to attack anyone's religion, culture, tradition or country. smile

        The biggest question of all is that "If the world see Talibans as terrorists then Who trained the Talibans?"

        Lastly, I believe, they don't need money. I think, they have enough resources through many sources to survive and to make the government. So to give them money or not in order to make the government doesn't seem an appropriate question to me. smile

      If the Taliban were a member state of the World Bank, good for her to get a loan from the WB CEO.

    Somebody has to crack the whip on this organization and government and there is no question of giving any money to a regime  that doesn't consider women equal and even below animals.

      Central bankers are the greatest scammers of all time. They don't care who makes the laws as long as they control the money.
      Fighting them hasn't pay off as well as they thought, better to be in bed together.
