雙語暢銷書《我是馬拉拉》第7章:穆夫提(11)
The MMA government banned CD and DVD shops and wanted to create a morality police like the Afghan Taliban had set up. The idea was they would be able to stop a woman accompanied by a man and require her to prove that the man was her relative. Thankfully, our supreme court stopped this. Then MMA activists launched attacks on cinemas and tore down billboards with pictures of women or blacked them out with paint. They even snatched female mannequins from clothing shops. They harassed men wearing Western-style shirts and trousers instead of the traditional shalwar kamiz and insisted women cover their heads. It was as though they wanted to remove all traces of womankind from public life.
MMA政府禁止CD和DVD店，並想和阿富汗塔利班分子一樣，組織一羣道德警察。他們原打算制定法律，在路上隨意攔下男女，女子便必須證明身邊的男子是她的親戚。幸好我們的最高法院阻止了這件事。於是MMA激進分子便發起了對電影院和商店的攻擊活動，並大肆拆毀有女性照片的廣告牌，或是用白色油漆遮蓋。他們甚至強行搬走服飾店裏的塑料女性服裝模特。他們還會在路上騷擾穿着西式風格襯衫和長褲、而非傳統上衫下褲的男人，並堅持婦女都要把頭部給遮起來。他們的行爲旨在將公共生活裏所有的女性跡象全部抹去。
My father’s high school opened in 2003. That first year they had boys and girls together, but by 2004 the climate had changed so it was unthinkable to have girls and boys in the same class. That changing climate made Ghulamullah bold. One of the school clerks told my father that the mufti kept coming into school and demanding why we girls were still using the main entrance. He said that one day, when a male member of staff took a female teacher out to the main road to get a rickshaw, the maulana asked, ‘Why did this man escort her to the road, is he her brother?’
父親的學校在2003年成立了高中部。第一年是男女同校，但到了2004年，局勢改變，男女生同班上課變成一件不能被接受的事。這樣的局勢改變，讓賈蘭穆拉罕膽大妄爲了起來。學校裏一名職員告訴父親，這個穆夫提總是跑到學校去，質問爲什麼女學生仍然繼續使用正門進出學校。有一天，學校裏一名男職員送一位女老師到大路上搭三輪車，賈蘭穆拉罕問道：“爲什麼這個男人送她去路上，他是她的兄長嗎？”
‘No,’ replied the clerk, ‘he is a colleague.’
“不是，”這名職員回答，“我們是同事。”
‘That is wrong!’ said the maulana.
“這樣的行爲是錯誤的！”賈蘭穆拉罕說。
My father told the clerk to call him next time he saw the maulana. When the call came, my father and the Islamic studies teacher went out to confront him.
父親告訴那名職員，下次如果再看到賈蘭穆拉罕，就打電話給他。當電話打來時，父親和教伊斯蘭課程的老師就去和他對質。
