This campaign going live over Western social media just means a male taliban supporter has already seen it. It’s a direct challenge to their masculization. As opposed to one in Arabic, which most Muslims are encouraged to know. The recitation of Quran verses is a priority among even female children, and having a working knowledge of the language isn’t a red flag like English is.
I would imagine they don’t prioritize eng,Suh speaking even among the men.
Well, feel free to take it up with the Afghan women who started and run the organization. You truly believe that they don't understand what's at stake? You know better than them what they need? I think there's a word for that kind of attitude.
