#3 But the ~~frontman~~ CAIR of the Taliban’s political office

Seeing a change in fundamentalist Islamists towards women would be pure heresy thus completely unlikely if not impossible.

Sahih Muslim (4:1039) - "A'isha said [to Muhammad]: 'You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses'"
These are the words of Muhammad's favorite wife, complaining of the role assigned to women under Islam.

The revered Islamic scholar, al-Ghazali, who has been called 'the greatest Muslim after Muhammad,' writes that the role of a Muslim woman is to "stay at home and get on with her sewing. She should not go out often, she must not be well-informed, nor must she be communicative with her neighbors and only visit them when absolutely necessary; she should take care of her husband... and seek to satisfy him in everything... Her sole worry should be her virtue... She should be clean and ready to satisfy her husband's sexual needs at any moment." [Ibn Warraq, Why I Am Not a Muslim p.47 quoting Ghazali's "The Revival of Religious Sciences"]

And so on.

#4 she must not be well-informed, nor must she be communicative ... Her sole worry should be her virtue...

Y'know, if it weren't a 600 year old document, I'd think it was describing ~~dimmi~~democrat women. Aside from the sexual... satisfaction thingy. Gawd knows a democrat husband is seldom satisfied at home.
