Colourful kites may never again float in the skies over Afghanistan..Menacing black and white Taliban flags are everywhere now, flapping in the wind..The Taliban forbids kites..Wickedness such as this simple joy merits brutal punishment because it takes boys away from Sharia law studies that teach them women are less than nothing..Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan remember a sky filled with kites – an act of both joy and defiance by an emboldened people when foreign troops arrived in 2001 to loosen the ominous grip the Taliban held over them since the late 90s..But the Taliban is back, stronger than before, evil unleashed with only remnants of an Afghan army valiantly trying to regroup to protect citizens from monsters armed to the teeth with state-of-the-art weaponry President Joe Biden gifted them when he pulled troops out, leaving thousands of Americans and billions of dollars of war tools behind..Girls may never experience the joy of learning again..They now exist for the sexual pleasure of these sick devils, and as chattel to be transported to other countries and sold for profit to equally perverted devils. Door-to-door hunts for child wives started immediately. The Taliban has its priorities..There are reports of schools being destroyed..The Taliban forbids education for women..Shanbana Basij-Rasikh, co-founder of the girl’s School of Leadership Afghanistan, tweeted she burned all student records so the Taliban won’t find them and know who to hunt down and punish..We see the carnage going on around the airport in Kabul with ISIS having slithered in..The foreign soldiers remaining there will forever be haunted by the desperate, screaming throngs outside the wall begging to be saved, but being unable to help most. .It’s almost too much to think of the unseen horror elsewhere in a country the Taliban has swept through to inflict its code of justice – whipping, rape, beheadings, hangings, cutting off limbs, and public stoning – while proclaiming they’ve seen the error of their ways and will now support women. .Filthy demonic liars! .There’s nowhere to hide in one or two-room mud-brick and concrete houses. Imagine the terror of helplessly waiting to hear, then trucks pull up and Taliban footsteps approaching. Helpless to defend daughters from predators. Helpless to defend sons from having their minds poisoned with medieval, barbaric beliefs..Sharia law commands burkas. Women can barely peer through the netted slits of these heavy, uncomfortable pieces of cloth that demean and strip them of freedom to properly breath or safely cross the street – if their husbands give them permission to go out. .Ignorant women and politicians in Canada who have never tried on one of these hideous things have celebrated them as a woman’s right to choose. .The women I met in Afghanistan cried they had no choice, just as many Muslim women are denied choice in wearing any head coverings..Ignorant fools, pampered, sheltered so-called feminists betrayed oppressed Muslim women and mocked former Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2015 when he doubled down on his opposition to face veils being worn in citizenship ceremonies..Why would Canadians embrace a practice rooted in a culture that is anti-women, Harper asked in the House of Commons..Someone mockingly posted a photo of his daughter’s face covered. Others, thinking they were cute and clever, made various dress code remarks on hashtag #DressCodePM..Have they seen the recent footage of the Afghan woman beaten and left for dead by the Taliban because she dared to go out without covering her head? .Not so funny now, is it?.At the time, the clueless Justin Trudeau accused the Conservatives of being anti-women and fueling prejudice against Muslim Canadians..Still clueless, the prime minister never misses an opportunity to betray – yes, betray –women..His pathetic, condescending attempt to connect with women has repeatedly manifested in comments about needing a “she-covery from a she-session.”.No, the wokest self-professed he-feminist ever hasn’t yet twisted the Afghan crisis into some stupid remarks about she-ria law..But wait for it..There’s a tremendous opportunity at what will prove to be a useless, virtual emergency G-7 meeting called to address the chaos in Afghanistan. .Trudeau may yet find a camera, turn on the tears and yap about understanding she-ria law..And, sadly, female voters in Canada would fall for the performance and betray Afghanistan women..Trudeau is a master of conjuring tricks to deflect attention from his incompetent failings..Canadian Afghan vets, who saw what was coming, begged the government to get out Afghan interpreters who helped them..They were virtually ignored..“There has been a push to help interpreters for years, typically with very little movement on behalf of the government,” said Afghan vet Jeff Rainey, who served with 1st Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment on two tours in Afghanistan and was wounded in 2006..“Our efforts usually only get traction when things happen on the American side that generates public interest,” Rainey told Western Standard..“I have no idea what the plan is amidst all this chaos, confidence is low, quite frankly. Yes, some are being saved but the effort is confounding and way too slow.”.Hoping to win approval and look like he’s in charge, Trudeau announced he’d bring 20,000 Afghans to Canada..We’re not being told how many of the Afghans who will arrive in Canada are from refugee camps, people the United Nations decides should come here. And how many will actually be Afghans deserving of rescue from immediate danger?.Trudeau essentially acknowledging defeat during a campaign stop in Victoria last week, admitting the government won’t be able to get everyone asking Canada for help out of Afghanistan..Out of necessity and lack of timely action, the federal government has relaxed rules for things like passports and documentation..But who exactly will be allowed into Canada?.Whatever one thinks of dictator Vladimir Putin, the Russian president has been the only one to express a concern about protecting his borders..“Who are these refugees? How can we tell?…We do not want fighters disguised as refugees to turn up in our country.”.Can Canadians count on the Trudeau government to protect them from the infiltration of Taliban and other terrorists? Is Trudeau relying on our hearts breaking for the people of Afghanistan to embrace everyone – vetted or not – with open arms, no questions asked?.There’s more of a chance we’ll hear some drivel falling from his mouth about his really, very deep concern about she-ria law..Slobodian is the Senior Manitoba Columnist for the Western Standard.lslobodian@westernstandardonline.com
