Ofcourse because you cant see them smiling when they are covering their faces (Duh!)

I never said the husband is the God of the wife, but since the man is the head of the family the wife must listen to her, the same way that the man must obey the laws of the country.

Or maybe it's because someone special to her was killed by the Allies (US, UN, Northern Alliance etc.)

We are dealing with two issues here. You complained about two things:Women not being able to wear attractive clothes or show their body or shape And women not being able to go to school.

I dont think the old woman in the picture looked sad becuase she wanted to go to school..., neither could she be wanting to show her body (unless she is totally retarded). Hence she must be sad about something else. We dont know what, but to use that picture for an unrelated propaganda is dishonest to say the least.

To tell you the truth I dont have any Real Proof, and neither do you. All I know is that the Taliban said they would make schools for girls if they had enough funding.

Were they telling the truth ? Well I think they were, because if they were totally against female education they would not let female doctors and nurses to work there, especially as this would encourage other women to educate.

Obviously none, since the Taliban were only incharge for less than 5 years and that's not enough time for someone to become a doctor!

"You know after a good round of hashish, what does a dopehead would like to have-- a woman of easy virtues!!!"

Yessiree:  those bright blue burquas can really turn a man into an animal!

If a man can't control himself, it is a woman's fault for not covering herself from head to toe (thus restricting all movement - but a good way to keep us under control, no?) I am sitting here at the computer wearing mid height heels, a mid calf skirt, and a tank top (exposing arms!!!). I think I look quite acceptable, not provocative, there are no male teachers beating my office door down, and anyway, would find it hard to type in a burqua! When are men going to stop using the excuse that women "provoke them"?

When are men going to stop turning equality into a question of chastity versus harlotry?

Why does a woman have to be some submissive animal at the beck and call of her less chaste male counterpart to stay pure?

Why does a woman have to submit to her male counterpart that are the perpetrators of 99% of sexual crimes?

Rape, incest, child abuse, pedophilia...these crimes have far, far, far more male perpetrators and far, far, far more female victims.

Men are the ones failing in situations like Afghanistan.  Stone the woman "accused" of adultery, but don't round up the rapists and have public executions.  If the men truly feared the punishments available like women must, then a woman wouldn't need an escort 24/7.

There are hadiths that state a woman only needs a mehram with her if she's going somewhere further than 88 miles (I think) which was the distance you could travel in three days. 

The Prophet of Islam clearly did not intend for women to be locked away in their homes.

And he clearly did not believe they should denied their rights, which they were under the Taliban.
