“But we’ll still stone queer people to death.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New Delhi: In its first reaction to the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in India, the Taliban’s head of political office in Doha, Suhail Shaheen, said that any such law should be for all “irrespective of religion”, even as he denied that there was any persecution of minorities in Afghanistan.
Announcing the rules, Indian home minister Amit Shah said that it will “enable minorities persecuted on religious grounds in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to acquire citizenship in our nation”.
The stated objective of the CAA, which was passed by parliament in December 2019, is to accelerate the process of granting citizenship to Hindus, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Christians purportedly fleeing persecution from India’s Muslim-majority neighbours – namely, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
Shaheen additionally expressed his hope for equal treatment of Indian Muslims, stating, “I hope also minority in India i.e. Muslims, are not persecuted as Hindus and Sikhs are not persecuted in Afghanistan.” Also read: SC Receives Three Petitions a Day After Govt Notifies Citizenship Amendment Act Rules The CAA is being implemented at a time when India has improved ties with the Taliban government in Kabul, despite not according it full diplomatic recognition in line with the international community.
Also read: Home Ministry’s ‘Positive Narrative’ on CAA is Full of Lies, Half-Truths and Really Bad Drafting The two former Afghan Sikh lawmakers who fled Kabul have also left India – Narendra Singh Khalsa is in Canada, while Anarkali Kaur Honaryar took refuge in France.
According to Guljeet Singh, a social worker who is involved with the Afghan Sikh community in Delhi, there were only two families left after the Taliban takeover, who were also preparing to leave the country.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
