Afghan women stores make a mark

Imagine that, a positive report on Afghanistan from the BBC. But true to form the BBC whitewashes Islam's treatment of women.

"The initiative is also helping customers as many families do not allow their women to enter shops run by men. "


It's not just that their families that do not allow it, Islam doesn't allow it.

"Some conservative local clerics are unhappy with the moves.

One has said that the new female entrepreneurs are misleading other women, encouraging them to claim freedoms that are inappropriate. But other religious scholars are satisfied with the initiative, arguing that the new commercial activities are a step towards advancing women's role in society."


What religion would that be Auntie?
