What is Sharia Law and How Will It Affect Afghan Christians & Women? | EWTN News Nightly

There are calls for the Biden Administration to ensure the protection of human rights in Afghanistan. This comes as the Taliban have said they will govern the country under Sharia law, as they did when they were formerly in control of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. Writing earlier this week in the Epoch Times, Nina Shea, Director for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute, said the terror group "will use harsh forms of coercion to enforce conformity to what the Taliban religious elite proclaim to be Islamic principles." She calls on the Biden Administration to oppose this expected crackdown on human rights and religious freedom. Shea joins to explain what Sharia law is and the type of Sharia law that was implemented by the Taliban when they first held power. In a press conference, a member of the Taliban said they would allow women to work and study within their framework. Shea discusses what she thinks that looks like and how that will change things for women, especially young women, in Afghanistan. The director of religious freedom at the Hudson Institute tells us what she thinks life will be like for religious minorities, including Christians, under Sharia law. In her article, Shea says China's potential support of the Taliban should be concerning to Americans and to those pushing religious freedom in Afghanistan. She talks about why she said that and also what she thinks the Biden Administration can do. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
