Afghanistan: Taliban to remove subjects contradicting Sharia from university curriculum

Unfortunately, the report doesn’t list which subjects are considered to be contradicting Sharia. In any case, the Leftist Taliban in American universities is doing much the same thing, removing or deemphasizing subjects that don’t fit the far-Left agenda. That’s one reason why Leftists and jihadis get along so well: they’re both authoritarians who hate the freedom of speech and free inquiry.

“Taliban to Remove Subjects Contradicting Sharia Law From University Curriculum,” Sputnik, September 13, 2021:

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Taliban’s* Ministry of Higher Education announced that it will remove subjects considered as running counter to the Islam’s Sharia law from the curriculum of Afghanistan’s universities.

“Each subject that is against Islamic laws will be removed,” acting Minister of Higher Education Shaikh Abdul Baqi Haqqani said as quoted by the TOLO news agency on Monday.

Furthermore, students of both genders will no longer be allowed to study alongside one another….

Last Tuesday, Taliban’s leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada said that “in the future, all issues of governance and life in Afghanistan will be governed by the laws of Holy Sharia.”

Sharia is a religious law forming part of the Islamic tradition. It is derived from the Quran and acts as a code for living that all Muslims should abide to including regular prayers, strict fasting and donating to the poor.
