I am very sorry about the appalling way that Afghans treat women. But this comes down to Islam. We have wasted and destroyed hundreds of our servicemen’s lives and trillions of dollars trying to reform a mediaeval and backward society that actually wants to live in the Stone Age. The money would have been better spent preventing this vile ideology taking root here in the UK.

I strongly suspect that a large proportion (possibly a majority) of Afghan women quite like their society just the way it is.

You only have to look at the way many Moslem women are happy to live in the UK (where they have the full protection of the law against abusive men) and particularly the way in which they regard western women as prostitutes (as remarked on by the better educated in their community such as Yasmin Alibhai Brown who has written about this). As long as Moslem men take in this attitude with their mothers’ milk there is no possibility of enlightenment.
