A country with one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the world reportedly bans female students training to be midwives and nurses from completing their courses.
Don’t try to find any logic in these imbecilic declarations. There is none. If anywhere there was a justifiable communal obligation for female education, it was here.
If true, these men must lack not just knowledge but also basic commonsense. What are women seeking medical attention to do now?
Give birth with a turbaned beardo standing over her, gun in hand, invading her privacy at her most intimate? No, no, I get it: she’s not supposed to access healthcare at all.
What lamentable ignorance from a people claiming to uphold Islamic tradition. A tradition once at the forefront of education and endeavour in medicine.
Now just a gathering ground for the common ignoramus, enforcing their retrograde fallacies on unwilling populations, who most likely know their own faith better than the enforcers.
Let the learned rise up against this wicked backwardness. Islam is for the preservation and perpetuation of life.
