Except christian nationalists are too high on a baseless and false sense of superiority to realize conservative religious totalitarianism based on a slightly different belief in the same god will have the same outcome
we couldn't have communism in afghanistan. strictly speaking this pic was not taken while the communist gov was in. it's complicated but usa sure as hell had nothing to do with liberal islam
The same can be said about Iran 🇮🇷. I have seen many interviews with the general public, and most do not want an Islamic government, and they are prodemocracy.
Yes, I remember. I saw it with my own eyes and cannot believe how that country, with its religious fanatics, has regressed into such a terrible system. Now, a woman has to be hidden behind a burka and cannot even go to the market without a male guardian.
The US orchestrated the destabilization that caused this, so it's unsurprising that the chickens have come to roost. Also very interesting that this "don't let America become the middle east" business is going around at the very moment US invasion bc of "WMDs" is in the news cycle again...
To be fair (and I don't really want to), this is middle and upper class in Kabul. There is a good documentary about it (I can't remember the title☹️ ). The same is true for Iran. I knew upper-class women studying in the West. Outside of the city and this class, it was about the same as now.

Here you will learn that it isn't just the men in government that put women in burkas, it is just the men.
