KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The minister of higher education in the Taliban government on Thursday defended his decision to ban women from universities — a decree that had triggered a global backlash.
Discussing the matter for the first time in public, Nida Mohammad Nadim said the ban issued earlier this week was necessary to prevent the mixing of genders in universities and because he believes some subjects being taught violated the principles of Islam. He said the ban was in place until further notice.
In an interview with Afghan television, Nadim pushed back against the widespread international condemnation, including from Muslim-majority countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar. Nadim said that foreigners should stop interfering in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.
Earlier on Thursday, the foreign ministers of the G-7 group of states urged the Taliban to rescind the ban, warning that “gender persecution may amount to a crime against humanity.” The ministers warned after a virtual meeting that “Taliban policies designed to erase women from public life will have consequences for how our countries engage with the Taliban.” The G-7 group includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.
A former provincial governor, police chief and military commander, Nadim was appointed minister in October by the supreme Taliban leader and previously pledged to stamp out secular schooling. Nadim opposes female education, saying it is against Islamic and Afghan values.
Other reasons he gave for the university ban were women’s failure to observe a dress code and the study of certain subjects and courses.
“We told girls to have proper hijab but they didn’t and they wore dresses like they are going to a wedding ceremony,” he said. “Girls were studying agriculture and engineering, but this didn’t match Afghan culture. Girls should learn, but not in areas that go against Islam and Afghan honor.”
He added that work was underway to fix these issues and universities would reopen for women once they were resolved. The Taliban made similar promises about high school access for girls, saying classes would resume for them once “technical issues” around uniforms and transport were sorted out, but girls remain shut out of classrooms.
EXACTLY! Johnson & Johnson had 37% of the market share at the time of the murders. Afterward, it dropped down to 7%. They had the "safety seal" packaging invented and fully implemented and Tylenol back on the store shelves within 7 weeks of the murders. (how is that even possible from concept to retail??). They took over the whole market at that time because they beat the rest of all over-the-counter drugs to the packaging.
THEY are the criminals. My research points to the tainting occurring in the distribution chain, in Melrose Park, IL. J&J, with tremendous help from the FBI (who did not have jurisdiction over the case as product tampering was just a misdemeanor at the time) and FDA to release themselves of all liability to the victims by blaming the madman in the stores.

A much more simple story is TYMURS: The 1982 Tylenol Cyanide Murders (TYMURS is the FBI code word for the murders). It is 115 pages just covering the massive cover-up of this crime and investigation.
This case is unsolved-- and never can be truly solved because the FBI turned over all the bottles for "testing" to the liable corporation-- Johnson & Johnson. They tested less than 1% and destroyed the rest. They did not want the public to know just how much cyanide was out there. Testing all of the bottles would prove it happened in the repackaging facility-- and no "madman" running store-to-store could taint hundreds, if not thousands of bottles.

BILL NAPOLI: A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life
