One can easily see that you are a true believer in the teachings of Muhammed, but you are misguided. We have seen the regard that Islam has for the women in that belief sysyem, The Taliban were, in their minds, good and true Muslims, just as you do. The treatment of women under the Taliban was completely consistant with the teachings and example of Muhammed and his Islam. Muhammed taught that women were unequal to men in all aspects, and forbid men and women from even worshipping together. Hell is populated, according to Muhammed, mostly by women because they are disobedient to men. As a Muslim, you must know the status of women in Islam, of course denial is very strong when we are "True belivers"
