Feeling Hopeless

This article is about women's rights in Afghanistan and after reading this I feel so hopeless for the women there.  Karazi is working with the Taliban and the Taliban has been known for their radical way of viewing Islam.  The religious authority in Afghanistan have deemed it right for men to beat their wives if they are disobedient, this is not the way Islam works.  Never does the Prophet Mohammad say to beat them, he does say one single hit for disobedience. By the way, I am not supporting abuse, I am simply showing a brief point from the Qur'an.  The Taliban has a complete misconstruded version of the Qur'an just like some radical Christians do in regards to the Bible. 

I feel bad for these women in Afghanistan and the Taliban is going to take over again if it has not already done so.  They are leaders of radical Islam, in which, in today's world is never going to win out.  Unless, they keep a tight grip on the people like they do in Iran.  I feel like the war in Afghanistan will be pointless in some regards, we did overthrow the Taliban and we did do destruction to Al-Qaeda, but the people seem to be only a little bit more free than 11 years ago.  What is going to happen to them in the future?  I guess we will find out.
