Taliban execute girl volleyball player

Yes Urmstongran , how silent these Mullahs are! Complicit, the very word! Believing in God is a tough challenge and that's the truth.

God help them.

There's a God in all this carnage???!!!

Barbaric act. Medieval punishment meted out by men.

I just wish the mullahs would speak up over here and condemn these acts. Impressionable young men become radicalised and their spiritual leaders need to step up and condemn these atrocities. They are too quiet for my liking.

Complicit by their silence…

I seem to recall an oh so woke and caring member of GN - a regular poster - claiming this new Taliban should be afforded some respect when the withdrawal was taking place. Sickening.

If true it’s unspeakable.
What a nightmare it’s suddenly become for women ( and some men) in Afghanistan.

Such a shocking story those poor women and girls their suffering is unimaginable. All the progress in the field of women's rights, just swept away in days.

Well I certainly wouldn't be mocking you poshpaws . I am, I'm afraid, a somewhat lapsed High Anglican, a "Doubting Thomas" if you like! but the Taliban version of God bears absolutely no resemblance to any God that I did, and still do up to a point , acknowledge. I just can't believe the mentality and extreme cruelty of these appalling people. The devils work indeed.

I suppose it may be a bit of propaganda....just a thought.

I also think most right minded Muslims would not believe that God would condone this .What a wicked, bigoted bunch these Taliban are.

I find it so incredibly sad that the Taliban commit their atrocities in the name of their version of God. The God I know would never condone their cruelties and barbarism. I know there are a lot of atheists on Gransnet, who will mock me for my beliefs, but I truly feel that the Taliban are carrying out the work of the devil even if they're not consciously aware of that.

Poor girl. Her poor family. And how much it must be a hell on earth for all the women who had satisfying careers and now have to hide at home covered up in black from head to toe 365 days a year. Can you imagine the mental health problems you'd face being forced to go from being a neuro surgeon one day to a mere possession of a man the next? (just an example)

Barbaric act. A tragedy for that whole country. Can we in the west really stand by and let this happen. Can we?

This is just dreadful news.
Barbaric, medieval, bloodthirsty men now rule.

I weep for the women and girls of Afghanistan.

How could we have left them to suffer like this? Whatever we may have thought of our presence there, things are far worse now and will get even more terrifying.

?

That's absolutely horrific. That poor girl, now all the others in similar situations must be living in terror.

This is appalling news unsurprising.

WHY?
They're not saying she was beheaded because she was in the team so I wonder if she'd infringed some other petty rule?
Whatever the reason its barbaric.

No other "crime" I'm afraid.
For a woman to play a sport is against the fundamentalist "teachings" of the Taliban.
The threat of execution merely for being sportswomen was why the Afghan National Women's team sought sanctuary in the West finding it in Portugal.

that's so awful. Women's and girls worst fears illustrated. The Taleban are truly evil.

What a deplorable act. ?. What her parents are suffering with this knowledge unimaginable. Poor, poor girl.

Sorry posted too soon.
......because no one else can.

God help them.

That’s horrific! Are they implying the family did it?

I feel quite sick at the very thought, that poor girl.
