Pakistan: Taliban Warn Shopkeepers not to Allow Women Into Their Stores.....

What could be more "un-Islamic" than a woman shopping?.....

In Matta, a town in the Swat district of Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province, the Taliban have asked shopkeepers not to allow women inside their shops.

A warning issued by the Taliban gave three days’ notice to the shopkeepers to begin obeying their order. The Taliban have released posters to this effect, warning women not to enter shops.

They "asked" alright-with guns pointed.

And just how is a society supposed to function with over half its adult population imprisoned in their home compounds?

Oh, I'm sure there are just so many thoughtful husbands who will do all the food and clothing shopping for their entire families after a hard day.... doing whatever they do to support themselves.

And the talibans are probably the first to raise their fists when there's no food on the table for them.

How about if a woman wants to buy tampons. It must be a strange sight to see an old bearded man buying tampons at the shop counter.
