If it is one thing jihadi terrorists are known for it is their hatred of women. While they claim to be 'pure' Muslims who treat women in accordance with Islamic law they are in fact vile misogynists. Of these extremists there is no better example than the Taliban in Afghanistan. Not only have they restricted women's movements in public, fired women from jobs and closed schools for girls after the sixth grade, but have prevented women from speaking in public. Luckily, some women have escaped this Islamic totalitarian state to resume a normal life outside Afghanistan. I speak with two such women in this podcast.
