Religious Fascism in Kabul
As the U.S. negotiates with the Taliban over the future of Afghanistan, women and ethnic minorities that were brutally murdered by these religious fanatics fear the expediency of U.S. military withdrawal and official empowerment of the Taliban will end what progress has been made in education, civil liberties and women's rights.
As the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) notes,
The US "War on Terrorism" removed the Taliban regime in October 2001, but it has not removed religious fundamentalism which is the main cause of all our miseries...Whenever fundamentalists exist as a military and political force in our injured land, the problem of Afghanistan will not be solved.
