Unbelievable - the nonsense these misogynists can get themselves to believe speaks volumes about both their education & their intelligence - or lack thereof. If it wasn't so awful, their ignorance would be hilarious.
And I don't think they're going to let the fact that they won't find anything within Islam to support their disgraceful ideas stop them from continuing to repress & control women as much as they possibly can.
Women 'lose value' if their faces are visible to men.

"The Taliban, who took over the country in August 2021, have cited the failure of women to observe the proper way to wear the hijab, or Islamic headscarf, as a reason for barring them from most public spaces, including parks, jobs and university.
Molvi Mohammad Sadiq Akif, the spokesman for the Taliban's Ministry of Vice and Virtue, said in an interview with The Associated Press that if women's faces are visible in public there is a possibility of fitna, or falling into sin.
"It is very bad to see women (without the hijab) in some areas (big cities), and our scholars also agree that women's faces should be hidden," Akif said. "It's not that her face will be harmed or damaged.
"A woman has her own value and that value decreases by men looking at her.
Tim Winter, who is the Shaykh Zayed Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University, said there was no scriptural mandate in Islam for face coverings and the Taliban would struggle to find anything in Islamic scripture that backed their interpretation of hijab rules."

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
