Taliban bans Afghan women from ‘hearing each other’ in latest oppressive law
Taliban has enacted yet another law further oppressing the freedoms of women and girls, this time issuing a decree that prohibits them from praying aloud or reciting the Qur’an in each other’s presence.The move comes after a series of so-called “virtue” or “morality” laws were implemented in Afghanistan in August, laid out in a 114-page document that covered vast aspects of everyday public life.Among the new laws announced in August were directives making it mandatory for women to veil their entire bodies, including their faces, at all times in public. Women were also forbidden from singing, reciting and reading aloud in public, as a woman’s voice is deemed “intimate” and should not be heard.Women are already excluded from education after sixth grade, many public spaces and most jobs.

Concept of Khalistan as artificial as Pakistan was in its infancy: US expert
Michael Rubin has described the concept of Khalistan as artificial as Pakistan was in its infancy and cautioned the USA establishment against entertaining any Khalistani figures. In an article titled ‘Khalistani Extremism: A Growing Threat In The U.S. And Canada’ in the National Security Journal, Rubin explained, “Khalistan today is as artificial as Pakistan was in its infancy. Sir Muhammad Iqbal, Choudhry Rahmat Ali and Muhammad Ali Jinnah created the concept of Pakistan to be a separate state for Muslims upon India’s independence. The name Pakistan, coined by Rahmat Ali, was completely artificial: It was both an anagram, taking the P from Punjab, A from Afghan, K from Kashmir, S from Sindh, I from the Indus River Valley, and the last four letters from Baluchistan, and a pun: Pakistan is both a Persian and Urdu word meaning “land of the pure.”” “Khalistan, likewise, has no historical basis. As with Pakistan, Khalistan literally means “land of the pure,” although it substitutes the Persian/Urdu “Pak” for the Punjabi/Arabic “Khalis.” Khalistani separatists use the term to frame their demand for an independent Sikh state in Punjab. Sikhs comprise slightly over half the population of Indian Punjab; their population is now near zero in Pakistani Punjab due to decades of Pakistani sectarian cleansing,” he alleged.

World on the brink of world war 3? Trump issues dire warning amidst Iran-Israel conflict
Iran launched a missile strike on Israel in retaliation for the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The attack, which occurred just hours before the U.S. vice-presidential debate between Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance, heightened global anxieties. Former U.S. President Donald Trump wasted no time in blaming President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for what he described as a dangerous escalation, claiming their policies have brought the world to the brink of World War III. Trump asserted that under his administration, there was no war in the Middle East, Europe, or Asia, and inflation was under control. He lambasted Biden and Harris, stating, «You wouldn’t trust Joe or Kamala to run a lemonade stand, let alone lead the Free World.» He went on to claim that the current administration has led to the «threat of war raging everywhere.» Accusing Harris of being weak on foreign policy, Trump suggested that Iran wants her to remain in power as they «can take advantage of America.» He stated that if he were still president, the current conflicts, including the Ukraine-Russia war and the Afghanistan withdrawal, would not have occurred. «If Kamala gets four more years, the world goes up in smoke,» he warned.
